Show was in a nice little venue. It was a very low key sort of show. Mr. Laswell focused more on his slower songs and played several slower, acoustic versions of the more upbeat tracks. He had a great stage presence and was quick to tell a joke or story between songs. Overall, it was a very enjoyable show and Misty Boice did a good job backing him up. Also, his guitar and cello accompaniments were awesome.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Greg Laswell got his start in 1998 as the frontman of the band Shillglen, achieving moderate success a year later with their debut Sometimes I Feel. After the band broke up in 2001, Laswell decided to pursue a solo career as a singer-songwriter and recorded and released his breakout full-length LP Good Movie (2003), which won Best Local Recording at the San Diego Music Awards. He followed up with 2006's Through Toledo -- an album that resonated with fans and featured the popular tune "Sing, Theresa Says". He's toured around the world as a supporting act for occasional collaborators Sia and Ingrid Michaelson, and he’s headlined several sold-out shows of his own. Since the release of Through Toledo Laswell has recorded four more acclaimed albums, had his music featured in numerous films and television shows, and become widely known within the underground indie scene. His powerful, must-see live performances are perfect for fans of emotive acoustic music, witty humor, and impeccable musicianship.

by Fivealino on 6/23/12Bowery Ballroom - New York...and that's a good thing! Very entertaining. Good set list with a healthy dose of the new album mixed with some older tracks. Closed the show with an acoustic version of the song "Landline" with his wife, musician Ingrid Michaelson, which was great (you could hear a pin drop, everyone in the audience remained quiet).

by melibibi on 6/22/12Bowery Ballroom - New YorkThis show was excellent. It was so down to earth that it felt like I was hanging with friends at a bbq, drinking beer and listening to Greg Laswell.
