BEST ACOUSTIC MUSIC VENUE 1998

...if you've ever slogged an acoustic guitar onto a stage, strummed three or four bars and were brought down by chatterus interruptus, then you know why the Living Room is so great. People listen.

...it's a rare room anymore where 'acoustic song' isn't code for 'take a piss, order a Rolling Rock and get that chick's phone number.'

...there's still plenty of reverence for the simple quiet tune. There's nothing fascistic about it either. Nobody shushing you or giving you the hairy eyeball. Part of the reason is the booking policy...

Catholic with a small c, it's not uncommon to see a lilting boho country combo, a sitar-driven mini orchestra and a lone songstress working their mojo all in the same night. New York audiences do like diversity and that's what they get here. ...we think you've got a pretty cool new kid on the block.
