Rita Hey

Here are two more videos in the Presented by Cafe Henrici series, this time with the country/folk duo Rita Hey. We found a cozy alley in the Niederdorf and they played two songs:

Professional Lovers by Rita Hey

I Am Here To Stay by Rita Hey

Later that evening Rita Hey performed at Cafe Henrici. You can see them perform Heavy Metal Relationship on Youtube. I really enjoyed their performance, and their album We Know You Well, Sweet Misery is also very good.

Americana by way of Portugal with "A Jigsaw"

On September 28th the Portuguese Blues/Folk band A Jigsaw came through Zürich on their European tour. In addition to their gig at Cafe Henrici, I also filmed a couple of live videos with them. It is hard to describe just how great these guys are. Just have a watch:

I  must admit that A Jigsaw is one of my favorite acts that has played at Henrici so far. Their album "Like the Wolf" is also very good. You can buy it from their online store or on iTunes.

Tom Brosseau is So Punk Rock

On Sunday I saw Tom Brosseau play at the Helsinki Klub in Zürich. It was quite a surprise to see the name of someone who played in the same San Diego coffee shops as I did appear in the Zürich 20 Minutes(the local free paper). It was a great show and discovering the Helsinki Klub was quite a revelation to me.

Someone once told me that the most punk rock thing that you can do in these modern days is to be not punk rock at all. If that is true, then Tom Brosseau is the most punk rock guy I have ever met. If you check him out you will understand. Here is a video of him performing the song "Pretty Corey" whilst standing on a stool at the Helsinki Klub:
