Greg Klyma at the Black Swan


Greg Klyma played every Tuesday in September at the Black Swan Bar in Tivoli, NY. It's about an hour or so from Albany, but a really nice quick drive. Greg played 2 or 3 sets, from about 930 to midnight or so.
Now, Tivoli is a lovely little town, all of about 3 blocks - and is just up the road from Bard College... Well, my college-age life is LONG gone by, and staying out till midnight on a 'school night' especially with an hour ride home is a little crazy, even for me....but I did get out to support him 3 of the 5 nights. It wasn't too crowded...
The Black Swan is a really cool bar; and every week there were dogs in the bar as well....maybe the Che would like to get out there too.
The first week was like having a personal jukebox - He played 'Trust' for me (I totally relate to that song) and also nothing can beat Greg's version of the Talking Heads' Wild Life - that was priceless.
One week he had some friends join him, and THAT seemed like a lot of fun - bring your friends, play songs you like, and even get paid a little....what could be better?
Greg will be doing Tuesdays at the Black Swan again in November.
His "KLYMALIVE" in Buffalo CD just came out in September as well. It is a perfect snapshot of a GK show- ya laugh, ya cry, ya sing along....
