This one was a little different. Still groggy from last night's show, I took the light rail into town to hear an acoustic set at a fancy little concert hall upstairs from a book store.
The Music of Bruce Springsteen: Featuring Geoffrey Himes and Bob Kannenberg
Geoffrey Himes, the noted Baltimore music critic, and Bob Kannenberg, the leader of Baltimore's roots-rock band the Barn Burners, celebrate the music of Bruce Springsteen. Himes, a music critic for the Washington Post and Baltimore City Paper, will discuss and read from his new book on Springsteen, Born in the U.S.A., published by Continuum Books in New York. Kannenberg (with Brian Fisher on mandolin) will present "unplugged" versions of several Springsteen songs plus a few of his own compositions influenced by Springsteen. Both the author and the musician will be signing copies of their books and recordings.
An die Musik does not allow photography during the show, but Bob and Brian were nice enough to pose for me afterwards (they were actually playing too).
