Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Okay, so Crescent Ballroom has been open two full weeks, which is long enough for us to review five shows there, eat one of Chris Bianco's burritos, and listen as all the "cool kids" started calling the place "Crescent."
Stateside and Crescent owner Charlie Levy has enjoyed the past two weeks, too.
"Really, truly, the support as been out of this word," Levy said over the phone today. As a bit of a thank you, the Maria Taylor (of Azure Ray) is officially a free show for all those 21 and over.
If you already bought tickets to hear the Saddle Creek folkie song? Well, you will receive a full refund.
Head on over to Maria Taylor's official site for two free downloads from her album "Overlook," and check out the video for "Along for the Ride." Get ready to cry in your drink, Phoenix. For free!
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
