"One of the new tunes played early on was "None of Them Were You," written about Hoffs' various boyfriends through the years, ultimately leading to her longtime marriage to husband Jay Roach. Other new songs included "Casablanca," "Bad Case of Loneliness," "Sometimes You Gotta Learn Your Lesson Twice," and "Good Luck." With Hoffs playing these tunes for the first time on this East Coast trip, she had a couple of stops and starts"
"At one point, Hoffs took questions from the audience, with one fan asking which of her music videos is her favorite. When Hoffs mentioned "Hazy Shade of Winter," someone yelled, "Play it!," prompting Hoffs and company to perform the Bangles' Simon & Garfunkel cover earlier in their set than anticipated. A couple songs later, Hoffs told the story of The Bangles visiting Graceland, and how that experience inspired her to co-write the band's hit ballad "Eternal Fla"
Susanna Hoffs traveled to the East Coast for intimate performances, including a Ridgefield Playhouse show in Connecticut. She presented stripped-down arrangements of new solo material alongside Bangles classics. Hoffs performed with songwriting partners Ryan Lerman on acoustic guitar and CJ Camerieri on piano and trumpet. The set opened with the Prince-written 'Manic Monday' and included 'In Your Room' plus new songs such as 'None of Them Were You,' 'Casablanca,' 'Bad Case of Loneliness,' 'Sometimes You Gotta Learn Your Lesson Twice,' and 'Good Luck.' Camerieri introduced songs with a deep, booming voice. Hoffs answered audience questions, navigated lyric cues on a music stand, and shared an anecdote about The Bangles visiting Graceland that inspired co-writing the ballad 'Eternal Flame.'
