Ticket Stub Tuesday… Round Fourteen:
This definitely wasn’t the first Eren Cannata Band show that I’ve been to, but it was certainly the first for which I was issued a ticket! Eren Cannata is the son of saxophone great Ritchie Cannata, who rose to fame as Billy Joel’s saxophonist in the 1970s and 80s.
My friend Nicole became friendly with Eren when we were still in high school. To be honest, I’m not really sure how they met, but for a while we were, dare I say… groupies? Not me so much as her, but she was a good promoter of his music! He played at intimate venues throughout lower Manhattan: The Bitter End, The Cutting Room and this show at The Knitting Factory.
Eren always puts on a good show, and this one was no exception. Of course I went with Nicole along with Melissa (it was her birthday weekend), Raquel and Monika. As usual, it was quite an eventful night.
