The First Hundred Years Are the Hardest is the new album from soulful folkster Chris Kasper. The album’s title says a lot to me about what you should expect from his third release, which was produced by Andrew Lipke. Yes, everyone can attest that life certainly isn’t easy, especially if you are an artist trying to make a career out of your passion. Kasper has been a mainstay in the Philly singer-songwriter scene for a good part of the last decade, and a favorite among his peers so you should expect plenty of his collaborators, friends, and fans to come out to World Café Live tonight to celebrate his work and another fine chapter in the hard-living life of a gifted performer. Joining him this evening will be Vandaveer and Adrien Reju. World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8pm, $15 – $20, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
