Death Cab for Cutie - April 29 at The Beacon...
After selling out two engagements at The Beacon Theater, Death Cab for Cutie announced a third and final show. My friend Joe spoke up, and shortly thereafter we had two tickets for row L in the balcony (hey, cheap seats!) of the beautifully renovated venue.

I quickly searched more and learned that not only was Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys playing with Dr. John during the second week, he had produced and played on his new album “Locked Down.”
The album came from their first...
