Billy Kelly, sans the Blah Blah Blahs, played upstairs at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia yesterday. Thanks to the flu and other illnesses, Kelly’s backing band was left behind in Lewisburg, PA. Fortunately, the funny, talented kindie rocker came prepared with a Macbook, flip charts and a beatbox. While the […]
The incomparable Bill Harley is coming back to Philly. This is big news as the 2-time Grammy award winning storytelling and kid’s recording artist doesn’t play the city of brotherly love as much as other all-ages acts. Last year, he played an evening all-ages gig in Olde City at a […]

OWTK caught up with Gustafer Yellowgold on Saturday at World Cafe Live (the 5th time we’ve seen ’em, I think). It was yet another terrific GY show despite being humorously disjointed – with images being quickly flashed on the screen at the wrong moments and Robbie’s lethargic cymbal crash as […]
