Airborne Toxic Event: Marquee Theatre, Tempe, AZ 4/1/13

Jaclyn Timme April 9, 2013 No Comments

On April Fools’ Day in Tempe fans of all ages migrated toward the Marquee Theater which resembled an underground storage company with the mass amount of construction that the venue is currently undergoing. LA’s Airborne Toxic Event is preparing to release their third album Such Hot Blood on April 16th and this performance marks the third stop in their record supporting tour.

Garbage: Wellmont Theatre, Montclair, NY 03/20/2013

Bringing an infectious energy with them that at times felt like it could literally bring down the roof of the 90-year-old Wellmont, Garbage performed a set wholly dedicated to their most vehement supporters.

Caitlin Rose: The Mercury Lounge, New York, NY 4/13

Jeff Strowe April 5, 2013 No Comments

A similar movement is currently happening again down in Nashville, where a new and hearty collective have come together not only as musicians, but as ambassadors of the DIY, all-in-it-together ethos traditionally seen in the punk movement, but now surfacing forth in Americana. One of its’ brightest ambassadors, Caitlin Rose, rolled into New York City Monday night for a packed show at the Mercury Lounge.

Eric Clapton/The Wallflowers: New Orleans Arena, New Orleans, LA, 03/23/13

Surrounding himself by a large, absolutely fantastic, band, Clapton fell into his comfort zone, playing on tip-toes as the chords took over and settling back into a rhythm mode when Doyle Bramhall II or Paul Carrack took the reins. Clapton is a quiet leader, able to shine one moment, able to hide in the shadows, sans ego, sans flamboyance, another. In jeans and long-sleeved button-up shirt, he could very well just be heading out to the local Home Depot to pick up some gardening supplies. If you didn’t know this was Eric Clapton, he’d just be another you or me.

Ivan & Alyosha: Brick + Mortar Music Hall, San Francisco, CA 03/24/2013

Seeing a band exist so fully within their songs and get such pleasure out of performing them is what makes live music great and what makes Ivan & Alyosha a must-see performance.

The Wolfe Tones: Connolly

Shawn Donohue March 27, 2013 No Comments

Sure you know that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play marathon shows and at their age it is impressive, but have you ever heard of this little trio of elderly men from Dublin who play just as long as the Jersey boy? Meet The Wolfe Tones, the quintessential Irish Rebel Band who kept going and going into the early morning at Connolly’s while a Guinness fueled festive crowd sang along.

Yonder Mountain String Band: Orpheum Theater, Flagstaff, AZ 3/14/13

Mike Roesler March 22, 2013 No Comments

Having just wrapped up their first leg of the 2013 Winter Tour, Yonder Mountain String Band set their sights set on the western states with a swing through the desert valleys and mountain towns of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Montana, and Colorado. Their journey brought them to Flagstaff, Arizona to play their now annual show at the Orpheus Theater. White peaks, blue sky and a mountain sun greeted the band and bluegrass music-lovers in this picturesque mountain town. As if the weather wasn't adding enough excitement, Yonder Mountain had announced that Jason Carter of the Del McCoury Band would be joining them on fiddle. An old school, mountain jam was brewing.

Drive by Truckers: The Paradise Rock Club, Boston, MA 3/13/13

Albie Cullen March 15, 2013 No Comments

Despite no local radio airplay, (does any real band get played on commercial radio anymore?) or other promotion, the Paradise was filled to capacity. Further it seemed like the audience had this date circled on the calendar for a while. When the band lit into “Where the Devil Don’t Stay” opener, the crowd’s anxious buzz of anticipation turned to hootin’, hollerin’ enthusiasm.

Sanders Bohlke: Mercury Lounge, New York, NY 02/13/2013

Jeff Demars March 14, 2013 No Comments

On this night, even as an opening act, the sheer emotion behind his songs captured the ears of a group of strangers and left them stupefied, shouting for more. Hopefully someday soon we will be able to see Bohlke with a full-backing band and an opener of his own.

Frightened Rabbit: Showbox at the Market, Seattle, WA

Eli Scheer March 13, 2013 No Comments

And where's that? It was at the Showbox in downtown Seattle, WA, watching Frightened Rabbit carry the torch quite successfully where the other Scottish bands before them have handed it off. They aren't a band trying to reinvent music, but in not claiming to, they release themselves from that pressure. Instead, with their new album, Pedestrian Verse in tow, they rifled through many of the new tunes and much of their older material, each anthemic chorus leading perfectly into the next as the crowd gained momentum.
