Keren Ann and trumpeter Avishai Cohen (not to be confused with Avishai Cohen the bass player) played their first of two shows at Joe's Pub last night (Nov 3, 2008), part of Joe's 10th anniversary celebration. Tonight (Nov 4) is the second show, and in case you were worried about missing any of the election...

... and an extra special addition to the 11/4 show:

Keren Ann's 2008 Election Results Spectacular

Where else can you mix top notch music with a high-stakes political spectacle like the 2008 Presidential election? Join Keren Ann and Avishai Cohen on their November 4th show (after you've voted of course!), where we'll be showing live-feed results of the election before and throughout the set so you won't have to miss a single moment.

We also invite you stick around after the show until we've got a new President!

Joe's Pub was packed last night with a line down the block before the show. Avishai accompanied Keren on trumpet as she alternated between singing songs in English and French. Avishai's sister Anat played clarinet with them during the encore.

Other election night events are listed HERE. More pictures from last night below...

Keren Ann @ Southpaw - June 2005 (more)

Keren Ann @ Joe's Pub - March 2005 (more)

Three upcoming chances to catch Keren Ann in NYC. November 3rd & November 4th are at Joe's Pub - part of the venue's 10th anniversary celebration. The third show is November 5th and that's at the slightly larger Southpaw in Brooklyn. Both venues are great places to see Keren. At Joe's Pub you get the more intimate, silent, dark, seated experience, but that comes with expensive drink minimums (and equally expensive food if you choose to eat at the show). At Southpaw there might be noise and you'll stand, but you can still get up close and drinks are cheaper. All three shows are with 'Israeli jazz bassist, composer and arranger' Avishai Cohen. A video and the same dates below...
