My goodness.
I must admit, looking at the calendar as I moved back to Paris this fall made me dispair a little bit. All those amazing artists I was following? Yeah, they’re touring in the States. Then I looked again and voila! More live music coming up than I can process! So I thought I’d give you all a little recap of all the goodness soon to grace the City of Lights – all listed by date and musical preference (#yourewelcome).

For the old time country kids: Pokey Lafarge at La Maroquinerie (Oct. 15)

What shows are you most looking forward to? Personally, I’m torn between…all of them.
