The Bad Plus Announce New Record – For All I Care

Grayson Capps: Rott-N-Roll
“I’m going back to the country/cause country’s what I am” Grayson Capps sure as shit is country, he is “eatin’ cornbread and raising hell” an singing about “Big Ole Woman”, but how many other good ole country boys pontificate on Oscar Wilde and Salsamaggiore, Italy?

Jimmy Herring – Solo Slinger (INTERVIEW)
It happens to most pantheon-worthy sidemen eventually; there are no hard and fast rules for these things. But it's still a bit of a shocker that Lifeboat, out this month and one of the best albums of 2008, is Jimmy Herring's first proper solo effort.

The tie-dye shirts over the merchandise table dated most fans rolling into the State Theater in Falls Church, Virginia on Monday night. Over the course of their 21 year history, Blues Traveler has remained uniquely relevant yet sometimes an abstemious participant in a music scene it helped cultivate.
As the driving force behind the H.O.R.D.E. Tour, Blues Traveler helped carve out a niche for all the bands that followed the fan-based model of the Grateful Dead. The tour bridged a gap for a community birthing its second generation and ultimately allowed for the early exposure and success of scene powerhouses: Phish, Widespread Panic, Gov’t Mule and others.
Through mainstream success, a tragedy and random touring hiatuses Blues Traveler has its fair share of battle scars. But like a well worn warrior or perhaps even a fine wine, the years of experience have made them a formidable force. READ ON for more from Traveler in Falls Church…
