A special night for Julia Cumming and Sunflower Bean at Webster Hall

The other day, we noted how local band Hello Mary had just played their largest stage to date with a slot opening for Sunflower Bean at Webster Hall on May 12. (Another local band, Frost Children, were also on the bill.)

It was also a special night for Sunflower Bean vocalist-bassist Julia Cumming, seen here backstage before the show...
She was born and raised in a building on 14th Street and Avenue B. (Her parents, Alec Cumming and Cynthia Harden, were in the band Bite The Wax Godhead.)

Cumming was in bands starting at an early age, and as she told the crowd, it was always a dream to headline Webster Hall... 
Sunflower Bean is now on a U.S. tour in support of their third full-length release, Headful of Sugar.
