Starlight Society - Global Music Discovery

Didn't see as many concerts this year as I normally do. There was sort of a dry spell for a while in terms of shows, although to be fair, there were also a handful of shows I wanted to go see and just couldn't, because they were a) sold out, b) bought out by scalpers, c) happening when I was sick, d) happening when other shows I wanted to see were happening and/or e) thousands of miles away.

But I did see a ton of great musicians and comedians this year. So let's delve into that! (Also, be warned, my voice is pretty scratchy this episode. Traveler's plague. Bleh.)
