The Loyal Seas featuring Tanya Donelly City Winery, Boston, MA 10/1/2022
Video Montage
Jared was in town for the B-52's concert, and he mentioned that Kay Hanley was playing at City Winery with Tanya Donelly and the Loyal Seas as an opener. We decided to go, and I had a hell of a time buying tickets. The web site was intermittently down, and when it was up, it had problems accepting online payments. I persevered, and wound up getting tickets.
Jared and I arrived at the City Winery, and we weren't on the list. That's ok, I had my trusty printout of my receipt. The staff looked at it and noticed that my tickets had been for the prior night! I hadn't even known that the show was there for two nights. In all of the confusion surrounding ticket purhasing, I had inadvertently bought tickets to the wrong night! I was mortified and felt horrible that I had messed up our evening out. But the City Winery staff were quite gracious and said that they could squeeze us in tonight, as it wasn't sold out. I was so grateful! This was my first time at the venue and it won't be my last!
We ordered burgers and hard cider before the show. The Loyal Seas opened, and poput on a great set. I hadn't seen Tanya Donelly in years, and it was great to see her out there playing these new songs.
For a night that could have gone dreadfully wrong, it was a wonderful time, thanks to the understanding staff at City Winery!
