WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Songbirds Sing, Gay’s Anatomy, Magic Shows and More


The first weekend of 2014 is definitely not the time to stay bundled indoors, so don’t let a little nor’easter get in your way of kicking off the year right. Here, we roundup a bevy of to-dos totally worth a trip out in the snow, starting with our pick of the week, the Songbird Concert at the Adrienne.

Hosted by creator (and G Philly contributor) Josh Schonewolf and judges Bill Chenevert and Freddy Shelley, the three-day musical extravaganza brings together the top eight contestants from the recent Songbird competition at Tabu. The winner, scruffy singer-songwriter Jo Stones, will headline. He’ll be joined by vocalists Stephanie Brown, Jordan Szenicer, Madelaine Christina, Minola Novak, Luci Rising, Robert Anthony, Lobstar Bisque, and Ellie Parx.

Like the competition, the evening will include a mix of solos, duets, group numbers and more. Fri.-Sun., Dec. 3-5, $12, Adrienne Theatre, 2030 Sansom St., get tickets here.
