The late night shows go back to first-run programming this week.
We make the case for catching comedian Marc Maron at Bonnaroo this weekend.
Fronting the Roxy Gunn Project for only a little over a year now, the band is percolating just under the rock & roll radar. But things are really beginning to kick in. Late last year Roxy was picked to play the part of Michael Pare’ and Diane Lane’s musician daughter in the movie sequel to Street Of Fire, which should premier sometime later this year. The band also contributed both original songs and material written by Jim Steinman, who is most recognized for penning songs for Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler. It was an exciting time for Roxy and her band, which consists of guitar player Jon Mills, bass player Chris Reject and drummer Ryan J.
Julian and Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison, Jakob Dylan. All of them share the surnames of some of rock’s biggest icons and thus all have had to forge their own career from under a huge (and at times almost unfair) shadow that John Lennon, George Harrison and Bob Dylan have created. But if you’re father still is known in rock circles but doesn’t quite have that stratosphere level of fame, you can still carve your own road. And a perfect example of that comes in Chicago singer-songwriter Miles Nielsen.
A Van Halen tribute band? In a coveted Saturday late-night spot at Bonnaroo 2012? With Skrillex playing late night on the Which Stage, perhaps the organizers (or his management) didn’t want to put another electronic act opposite him. If so, then Bonnaroo succeeded at giving the rest of the crowd a group of shows as far removed from the style of Skrillex as possible. However, it is likely that those people will still be able to see the lights of Skrillex’s mammoth production from anywhere on the grounds – even clear across Centeroo, at That Tent, where the Van Halen tribute will, presumably, actually be happening.
The Polyphonic Spree are back out on the road, bringing their good-time cheer and revelry to adoring audiences in much the same vein as they have been doing for the past ten years. If you haven’t seen them since their early 2000’s heyday, here’s what you missed: Nothing.
Dave Dreiwitz, Joe Russo, Marco Benevento and Scott Metzger discuss Levon Helm and Monday’s benefit concert.
Warren Haynes and Gov’t Mule covered seven The Band songs with the Levon Helm Band at Mountain Jam.
A fitting final post for this work week.
