Comment; Eric Morley is the Soprano performing at Summerstage’s City Opera gig on Tuesday, here she handles Brahms. I’ve heard good things about Speedy Ortiz but can’t say I am thrilled on first listen. I had hoped Skylar would be good and so far, she is pretty damn good. I wish the Kanye song lasted for days and days and days and… the Doors are a classic rebellious band and this makes a point about the generation gap that bears remembering.
