Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy/Jeff Beck/Mia Borders: New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, New Orleans, LA 4/29/11

Leslie Michele Derrough May 12, 2011 No Comments

A beautiful sunny day that turned hot with the sounds of electric guitars, spiritual voices, and dancing with strangers, the first day of the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was a major success. Crowds were large and the artists playing on the various stages came with their rock & roll boots on.

Soulive: The Pour House, Charleston, SC 4/28/11

Eric Liebetrau May 11, 2011 No Comments

Just two months past their 12th anniversary, Soulive continues to evolve within the trio configuration it seems that each couple years brings a new feel and invigorated sound.

Chamberlin: Higher Ground, South Burlington, VT 4/22/11

Doug Collette May 6, 2011 No Comments

All props to Chamberlin as an engaging young band, but they may not have done justice to themselves or their music in the small room at Higher Ground, due in part to the sound in the house and an odd choice of material.

Alberta Cross: Hudson Hotel, NY, NY 4.27.11

Shawn Donohue May 3, 2011 No Comments

It is always exciting when a band steps out of the recording studio to showcase some new tunes live and Alberta Cross did just that on Wednesday night in the middle of Manhattan.

Yellowcard/All Time Low: First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 4/21/11

Jeff Mozey May 2, 2011 No Comments

Once the All Time Low started performing their second song of the evening, the female fans started throwing bras on stage, many of them with phone numbers. Lead singer/guitar player, Alex Gaskarth, announced that all the bras get to be placed on Jack’s mic stand.

Pete Yorn/Ben Kweller: Howlin

Leslie Michele Derrough April 28, 2011 No Comments

Despite being “sicker than a dog”, Pete Yorn pulled himself up by his bootstraps and gave 120 percent without ever blinking an eye nor giving in to whatever illness was ailing him on this steamy hot night in a packed-house old venue that is beloved by many in the Crescent City. But when all was said and done, Pete, along with his bandmates, walked off that stage dripping wet with satisfied sweat.

Hayes Carll/Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit : Lincoln Theatre, Raleigh, NC 4/19/11

Jeff Strowe April 27, 2011 No Comments

Hayes Carll and Jason Isbell are modern-day troubadours, constantly crisscrossing the country while becoming distinctly familiar with the beer-stained walls and sticky floors of rock club dressing rooms, not to mention the occasional belligerently drunken fan such as the old-enough-to-know-better jackass that doused Isbell and his bandmates almost as soon as they took the stage this night.

The Belle Brigade: SLO Brewing Company, San Luis Obispo, CA 4/14/11

Kathrine Bryan April 25, 2011 No Comments

The Belle Brigade are influenced by artists spread across different genres, and name Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles and Stevie Wonder as musical inspirations. One would call their album as folk-rock, infused with tight harmonies, catchy melodies and danceable rhythms. When Barbara and Ethan sing, they sing as one tightly knit, well-executed, story-telling voice. Being siblings as well as best friends give the other a solid shoulder to lean on. At the end of their set, Barbara could not be happier introducing her younger brother to the appreciative crowd in San Luis Obispo.

Old 97’s: Cat

Jeff Strowe April 21, 2011 No Comments

Rhett Miller wears many masks: the borderline creepy voyeur in “The Dance Class”, the ruthless libertine of “Won’t Be Home”, or the devotedly romantic lover in “Question”. The personalities that populate Miller’s landscape are complex and constantly shifting in their views, thoughts, and actions. In short, they are human: capable of being loved or loathed depending on the scene and situation

Coachella 2011 – Three Day Wrap Up

Gabriella Librizzi April 21, 2011 No Comments

Arcade Fire was greeted by a never ending crowd of people who had been looking forward to their headlining set all day. Their stage was set up like the outside of a movie theater and had clips of quirky old movies showing in the background. After a few powerful songs, Win Butler steps out and says, "If you had told me in 2002 that we would be headlining Coachella and having Animal Collective play before us, I would have thought you were full of shit.
