David Byrne 4/26/2004: Flynn Theater – Burlington, VT

Shane Handler June 1, 2004 No Comments

Borrowing the term eclectic to describe a David Byrne performance is perhaps clich

Cyro Baptista & Beat The Donkey 4/19/2004: Club Metronome – Burlington, VT

Shane Handler May 25, 2004 No Comments

Cyro Baptista and his Beat the Donkey take an art form that can easily grow tired from weeks on the road, and continually transform the stage into a lively circus atmosphere each night.

Melissa Etheridge: Roxy Theatre, Atlanta GA

Bill Clifford May 18, 2004 No Comments

To the delight of her fans in Atlanta, Melissa let her emotions (and a little luck) get the best of her on this Thursday night performance. Her three-hour set rocked, and shook the small theater all night long, proving once again, that she is one of today

Everyone Orchestra 4/01/2004: Aladdin Theatre – Portland, OR

Jason Gershuny May 12, 2004 No Comments

The ever-rotating lineup of the Everyone Orchestra took its philosophy of improvisational-based collaborations with a diverse core of musicians, combined with a focus on social consciousness on both local and global issues for a small road trip through Oregon, and us north westerners are sure glad that they did.

Damien Rice 3/29/2004: The Pageant, St. Louis, MO

Jason Gonulsen May 6, 2004 No Comments

Bursting onto the singer/songwriter scene with his album O, Rice, a native of Ireland, has quickly built a strong following in the United States with his emotional lyrics and steady radio play. And throughout his two-hour performance, you could argue that Rice will be able to stick around and build on his already strong foundation.

Amfibian and Seth Yacovone Band 3/24/2004: Higher Ground – Winooski, Vermont

Shane Handler May 3, 2004 No Comments

Just weeks before one of New England’s premier music venues shut its doors
permanently, Winooski, Vermont’s Higher Ground pronounced their last month standing would be a memorable run. Therefore, it was only fitting that two bands that have played some of the most memorable shows in the club were invited back to draw the Higher Ground curtain one final time – Amfibian and The Seth Yacavone Band.

Nickel Creek 3/22/2004: The Pageant St. Louis, MO

Jason Gonulsen April 28, 2004 No Comments

Nickel Creek held true to their bluegrass roots throughout their two hour performance at the Pageant, covering and conquering the likes of Nirvana, Carrie Newcomer, Beck and Gillian Welch, while also cruising through traditional folk and country instrumentals within their growing catalog of original material.
