In what seemed liked a setlist of never ending hits at the sold out Music Farm this past Friday in Charleston, SC, Moon Taxi found room to mix in one of their new songs, “Two High,” off their upcoming record. The (TBD named) album, which is not yet finished, is tentatively scheduled for a late summer release though bassist…
As a music nut who grew up on classic rock, rap, hair bands, Metallica, and so many rock and blues greats, the bar for attending a great arena show is higher than what is fair to bands today. After all, I’ve experienced the Tommy Lee drum kit roller coaster in person, Alice Cooper twice, as well George…
Dierks Bentley had one of the most humbling and hilarious tweets earlier this year: i use to play for just the bartender, and she’d walk outside sometimes to make a call. and there would be NO ONE! pic.twitter.com/0GX40UIbhZ — Dierks Bentley (@DierksBentley) May 21, 2016 It’s just so hard to imagine a super star grinding…
As I’ve written in several past articles, one of the joys of attending multi-day music festivals is seeing a large number of high quality bands I’ve never heard of rock my world, and then, over the next year, they roll through my home town playing small gigs. This is how you become one of those music fans that says…
Jim Morrison once said, “I’ve always thought comparisons were useless and ugly. It is a short cut to thinking.” No offense to Mr. Mojo Risin, but I’m not on LSD (presently) and the best way I know to get friends and people excited about bands they’ve never heard of is to compare them to ones…
It’s never easy leaving a four day music festival, but if there is a silver lining, besides the much needed sobriety, it’s I’ve just added 20+ bands to my brain that I had never heard of 96 hours earlier. The real prize of that is over the next ten months, these bands will be playing small venues across ‘Merica relativity still unheard of…
To be honest, looking back at the last 48 hours, I’ve really been kicking myself for never having heard of Nathaniel Rateliff. Sure, I had heard their hit song “S.O.B” several times, but I never knew who sang it or what they were about. When I heard Nate Rateliff was playing a concert at America’s largest landscaped…
Let’s briefly rewind the clock to March 25, 2016. My 68 year old mother texted me saying she really wanted to go to this show at the 9:30 Club on April 6, and could I help her get tickets. I hopped on 930.com to scroll down and see a band I had never heard of for tickets at $104…
Live rock n’ roll shows come in so many flavors: Indoor, Outdoor, Festivals, Arenas, football stadiums, house parties, dive bars, Red Rocks, the Pyramids, on and on. While I thoroughly enjoy the acoustics of arena and club shows, nothing beats seeing one of your favorite bands in an intimate venue no matter where it is. I…
