Will Dailey is a Boston-based recording and performing artist and two time winner of the Boston Music Award for Best Male Singer-Songwriter. Dailey has released three full-length albums since 2004, and his most recent project, Torrent, involves the artist digitally releasing a burst of new music approximately every 3 months, and then compiling that material, along with bonus material, as a physical and digital audio package twice a year.
On a Friday night, just a hoot and a holler from the Big Easy, a band was playing at a small intimate club in Mandeville called The Howlin Wolf Northshore. Known for their eclectic variety of shows, the band playing on this particularly warm night was Josh Garrett and the Bottomline. Yes, this guy has been around a few years, humping the circuit with his funky brand of horns and guitar spice. He has a reputation that preceeds him and it is well deserved. For on this night, he lit up this little southern enclave like a red-hot smoking firecracker of bluesy sauce spilled on the grill. Smoke and sweat. You can picture it, I know you can.
Those who weren’t lucky enough to score Phish tickets through the presale are left with the public onsales today and tomorrow. With both legs going up for grab this weekend,

Jam In The Dam 2010 – Amsterdam – Day Three – March 23
Judging from the amount of empty store-bought mushroom containers on the floor over the past two nights, it is reasonable to assume that many people will be exercising the option of sleeping in late, in beds, on the final day of the festival. It is so nice to have this option, but it is a shame to waste a day in Amsterdam.
So what does one do on their last day in Amsterdam? For most of the Jam in the Dam attendees it probably includes some more coffee shop visits, some cheap food, a stroll through Dam Square or maybe a visit to one of the many cultural/artistic/historic hotspots where a tourist can be touristy. For those on a budget there are American fast food establishments on every block, but for those who want to take in Dutch culture there is always FEBO. FEBO provides customers with the fast food equivalent of watching yourself get into a car wreck with no ability to stop it. You can order a few things at the counter, but for the most part it is an entire restaurant of glorified microwave vending machines, yum.
Thanks to Yonder Mountain, the final night of Jam in the Dam kicks off in fine fashion. Yonder picks up right where they left off with the same high-energy, raucous, style of the night before. The night mainly features Jeff Austin and Ben Kaufmann on vocals. Banjoist Dave Johnston barely sings a note but more than makes up for it all night with stellar picking. The set closer is arguably the highlight of the festival, a Piece of Mind > Ruby > Follow Me Down to the Riverside > Ruby > Piece of Mind palindrome that is literally played for the “Kinfolk” that came out from the states, mostly Colorado. The band feeds off of their energy, and these dedicated fans get down harder than anyone else gets down to anything all week long. The room might as well be empty with the exception of the true Yonder fans.

Well, Joe Perry is still out there rocking with the best of them, proving he still has the stuff that rock n roll wet dreams are made of. With all the commotion going on within his home band, Joe decided to pull out his Joe Perry Project, get some great guys together, record a cd and hit the road. I caught up with them on the coast of Mississippi and was knocked backwards by the onslaught of a powerfully tight band having fun.
As part of the April issue of Esquire, the almost 80 year-old men’s culture magazine asked five singer-songwriters to take part in their Esquire Songwriting Challenge by inviting them to
Once in a while a band comes along that so captures the attention of their contemporaries, that the covers just start flowing in. It used to be much more common to cover your peers, these days it’s a rarity. Somewhere along the way it got less cool to cover songs that were released in the past couple of years, but MGMT is one of the bands that seems to have avoided this.
For this week’s B List we assembled our favorite MGMT covers…

snoe.down @ Killington and Rutland – March 26-28
moe. hosted their third snoe.down in Killington, Vermont over the weekend as part of the Music & Winter Sports Festival. Headlining both Friday & Saturday nights at the Spartan Arena, moe. also played a free afternoon set at the base of Killington Mountain & a special acoustic brunch set for VIPs.
Smaller bands like Lynch, The Bridge, Heavy Pets, and The McLovins performed at K1 and Bear Mountain Lodge throughout the weekend, while bigger acts like Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Assembly of Dust, and Railroad Earth opened for moe. at the arena. As noted by an emcee on Friday night, Sharon Jones was the inaugural “rock” act to break-in the arena, and moe. would play the arena’s first sold-out show.
There was a little bit of a learning curve for fans trying to find their way to Spartan Arena, which was located in a parking lot behind a mall. Fans filtered their way in for moe.’s first set, with some parents and kids under 21 disappointed with the set up (those old enough to drink had the first 2/3 of the hockey rink to themselves, with the other 1/3 stuck behind a barricade in the back with local vending).
