Bill Kreutzmann/Oteil Burbridge/Scott Murawski: Higher Ground, South Burlington, VT 6/07/08

Doug Collette June 10, 2008 No Comments

Of the four original surviving members of the Grateful Dead, drummer Bill Kreutzmann has kept the lowest profile since the untimely death of Jerry Garcia in 1995. But now this long-standing resident of Hawaii has elevated that profile considerably this year with his work in the trio format with bassist Oteil Burbridge (Aquarium Rescue Unit, ABB) and guitarist/vocalist Scott Murawski (Max Creek).

The Raconteurs: Terminal 5, NY NY 5.31.08

Shawn Donohue June 5, 2008 No Comments

It is hard to get this review started without shouting from the written rooftop that The Raconteurs just may be the most exciting live rock and roll act playing today…so I will just come out and admit it – they are.

Everyone Orchestra Pangaea Project Benefits : Crystal Ballroom, Portland, OR May 16 & 17, 2007

Jason Gershuny June 4, 2008 No Comments

Some traditions lose their magic after a few years, but thankfully the Pangaea Project benefit shows continue to bring the community together on so many levels, and continue to provide some of the most magical musical moments Portland sees each spring.

Wilco: The Pageant, St. Louis 5/16/08

Jason Gonulsen May 28, 2008 No Comments

Playing to a sold out room that remained attentive and fun from the opening “Via Chicago” to the closing “The Late Greats,” Tweedy and his band mates were firing shots and killing moving targets all night long.

The Black Keys: Terminal 5, New York, NY 5/15/08

Shawn Donohue May 20, 2008 No Comments

The Black Keys (Dan Auerbach,Patrick Carney) brought their no-frills blues rock straight from Akron, Ohio to the big city last night, packing a gorgeous venue on the west side with six string blasts and kick drum bombs.

Steve Earle/Allison Moorer: The Pageant, St. Louis 5/5/08

Jason Gonulsen May 19, 2008 No Comments

This one’s for her, whatever the hell her name was,” Steve Earle said with a laugh, before he broke into “Now She’s Gone,” off 1996’s I Feel Alright. It was that kind of night for Earle—a chance to look back, but not dwell on any kind of regret.

New Monsoon: Mercury Lounge, NY NY 5.3.08

Eric Liebetrau May 16, 2008 No Comments

On tunes like “Other Side” and “Water Vein,” featuring vocals from keyboardist Phil Ferlino, the bright, mostly major-key improvisation explored interesting territory without falling off the rails.

Tegan and Sara: Bogarts, Cincinnati, OH 5/9/08

Alex Drumm May 15, 2008 No Comments

Canadian born identical twin sisters, Tegan and Sara Quin have invaded America and gained a cult following without much help from MTV or radio. Now working to promote their latest, yet almost one year old album, The Con, these girls brought their brand of acoustic pop to Cincinnati for the first time in quite a few years. These young ladies brought together many different walks of life inside a venue that was far too small and put on a very respectable performance

Perpetual Groove: Highline Ballroom, New York, NY 4/25/08

Eric Liebetrau May 12, 2008 No Comments

Though they never caught fire, P-Groove showed that even on what seemed to be an “off” night, they still provide one of the best small-theater rock shows out there

7th Jammy Awards – Breakdowns & Insight: Wamu Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 5/7/08

Chad Berndtson May 9, 2008 No Comments

It was the tightest Jammys show in at least three or four of them-thetype of night for which you're tempted to use the word lean but pull back only because that might under-represent such a high quality of talent assembled. Tight, tight tight, with changes from the past few Jammys were subtle, but essential: slightly fewer acts with longer stretches devoted to each, giving time for collaborations (most, anyway) to marinate a bit and really suss out some value and excitement.
