On Wednesday, March 6th, just days before Austin, TX is set to be descended upon by SXSW madness, Olympia’s Sleater-Kinney played for an enthusiastic crowd at ACL Live. Showcasing several tracks from their new album, Little Rope, the band was loud, muscular and uncompromising as they stomped through almost two dozen songs across their repertoire. […]

“Hi, I’m Jared Deck and I represent the people of Oklahoma’s 44th District,” reads the singer-songwriter with the mighty vocal prowess on the State of Oklahoma gov. website. Yes, that’s right, the Democratic State Represenative has got something to say beyond the dome halls of Oklahoma City. Beyond The Sooner State, perhaps Deck needs to […]

It’s almost March in Arizona and MLB’s Cactus League (Spring Training for many) has begun its annual initiation to remind us summer is on its way. And while most might not assimilate both the charismatic and somber likes of Greta Van Fleet and Hozier to pitchers working on their “stuff,” downtown Tempe has an annual […]

The cathartic opening resonant guitar chords of Rachel Ana Dobken’s new song “Tomorrow’s Another Day” sounds mystically like a familiar Pearl Jam song from the early 90’s. Where Stone Gossard would lay the quiet intro and Eddie Vedder would creep in with some emotive howls that would transcend listeners. While drums are Dobken’s primary instrument, […]

Phantogram was one of many performers at last weekend’s (Feb 23/24) Innings Festival at Tempe Beach Park in Tempe, Arizona. The psych-pop duo made their daytime set feel like a late-night extravaganza with a striking eleven-song set. Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter were cool enough to give photographer Becca Greenberg, who was on assignment for […]

For the better part of 25 years, Marco Benevento has been honing his keyboard and producing skills and his penchant for joyful, energetic performances.

About 20 minutes after the opening notes of Everyone Orchestra’s Saturday, February 17th performance at Portland, Oregon’s Alberta Rose Theater, conductor Matt Butler took a moment to address the crowd. He said that backstage before the show, he told the assembled group of musicians that the first set of the night would be a mellow, […]

Songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Jenner Fox has recorded pastoral lo-fi folk in the realm of Bonnie Prince Billy and Bill Callahan for years now, yet while he has yet to be nabbed by the prestigious Drag City label- perhaps his new album The Moon That Moves The Sea (due out 2/23/24) with fellow creative voice Jeremy Elliott shall […]

Of all the tags and musical descriptions, we come across here at Glide, perhaps the most animated and well-described is “cinematic psych-country duo”. Take what you want from it, but I think that surely warrants a listen and takes you down the road of where The Cramps and The Meat Puppets jam with Gram Parsons […]

Much like a lot of cities in the Southern U.S., Austin, Texas has gone through some major changes. At the moment, it feels like the city is slowly turning into Nashville’s cousin with bachelorette parties and post-college grads flocking to the up-and-coming city in hopes of getting closer to whatever dream is in their head. […]

There are very few artists in the modern age that are carrying on a true renaissance. The idea of a renaissance man has taken on a new meaning thanks to the wide range of knowledge and tools readily available at our fingertips, it feels like anyone and everyone can lay claim to the title. Very […]

Portland’s Folk Festival has been taking place since 2018 in the City of Roses, but the 2024 installment proved to be a challenge as a snow and ice storm shut the city down. The bad weather led to the cancellation of two out of three nights of the festival. Rather than write it off, organizers […]

A genre like punk can conjure up many images for many different people. Regardless of the band, tempo, sound, or city you think of when you hear the name “punk”, there is one universal truth that strings all of these different subgenres together. As long as you can play in your style and make it […]

The idea of collaboration can take on many forms. In music, it represents two ideologies melting over each other to form one coherent emotional release for both parties. In its best shape, collaboration sounds like it isn’t happening at all. The two artists blend their styles together to form something new and refreshing. Such is […]

Over the past few years, Nashville has almost completely changed. What once was a sleepy southern city has been overtaken by WeWork buildings and bachelorette functions. While all these changes are all fine and dandy, natives to the south can’t help but scratch their heads and wonder where all the history went. You don’t need […]

There are catchy songs, tracks with such fun grooves, and soaring melodies that they are undeniable. Then, there are infectious tracks. Songs with so much personality and charisma the nuances of the musicianship jump out of the speakers and shake you awake like Green Day’s “Longview.” We all remember where we were the first time […]
