Everybody knows Bobby Charles through his songs Charles wrote such instantly recognizable hits as “See You Later Alligator,” “Walking to New Orleans” and “But I Do,” but the reclusive singer/songwriter, who passed away in 2010, is relatively unknown for his own recordings The vocalist Shannon McNally, along with New Orleans musical legend Mac “Dr John” Rebennack have made a new LP to try and shine a spotlight on Charles’ body of work Small Town Talk is an album of songs by the great but under-appreciated American songwriter Bobby Charles, which features guest performances by Derek Trucks, Will Sexton, Luther Dickinson, and Vince Gill Charles’ story is an extraordinary one Small Town Talk is a labor of love that was recorded with Charles’ approval and input before his death, offering a posthumous tribute to this wonderful artist’s career McNally and Dr John consulted with Charles before choosing a group of songs that give us a broad overview of Charles’ work McNally’s dark, probing vocals explore by turns the passion, deep soul and sparkling wit of this material, while Dr John frames the structures with sure-handed arrangements augmented by the brilliant Wardell Quezergue and played enthusiastically by Mac’s New Orleans-based band, the Lower 911  ]]>

Start Time(s): Doors at 6:00pm

When Etta Britt sings the Harlan Howard-penned classic “The Chokin’ Kind” from her new album, Out of the Shadows, it’s hard to imagine she would have ever been happy just singing behind other artists But Britt is a self-confessed harmony junkie, and over the years she has become a much sought-after backing vocalist, working with the likes of Delbert McClinton, Al Kooper, Marty Stuart, Billy Joe Shaver, REO Speedwagon and more “When I first heard The Supremes, I wanted to be a Supreme,” Britt explains “I never cared if I was Diana Ross  On the aptly titled Out of the Shadows, though, Britt flourishes in the spotlight that she’s ceded to so many others since she first showed up on the music scene in 1978 as a member of the acclaimed Country Music trio Dave & Sugar Filled with heart-piercing, soul affirming tunes — many written by Britt herself — Out of the Shadows is her debut solo offering and the flagship release for the Wrinkled Records label With what she calls a "cool groove record", Britt stakes her claim as one of the most versatile singers working today  “These songs are incredibly important and personal to me,” Britt says “They reflect where I am right now in my life, and it just seemed time for me to step out front”]]>

Adie Grey may well be one of the most versatile musicians in Nashville She has performed with Bonnie Raitt, Chaka Khan, Diane Shuur, Wynonna, Albert Lee, Pam Tillis, John Hartford and the Reverend James Cleveland Adie stepped away from her successful music business career for a few years, but happily, she’s jumping back in, and we’re proud to welcome her to Music at the Frist Adie moved to Nashville from Los Angeles in 1989 to pursue the kind of songwriting career only Nashville could support, and she came with credentials The story is best told in her own words She is, after all, a wordsmith "My Grandpa, Bill Lava, wrote music for movies and TV shows, so I sang my first demo for him at the age of 5 It was a tune he wrote for the Bugs Bunny show and I hear it every now and then on the Cartoon Network; he paid me off with a Martin ukulele that I still use sometimes in the studio Grandpa Bill was the inspiration for my song "Grandpa's Advice" that's been featured on the CarTalk radio program and on their anthology CD”]]>

Start Time(s):

It’s difficult to say where Night Beds begins, but it could be here: August 2006, a young Winston Yellen is invited to a longtime friend’s apartment They talk, they record a little aimlessly, and something exciting emerges Maybe it’s a little later, when one is studying engineering in Nashville, and the other remains behind, an unhappy captive of secondary education It could be any number of moments, really, along a series of migrations, but probably here: the summer of 2008, back in Colorado Springs, when they write the first Night Beds song, “You Were Afraid” God knows that we try to do the best we can After that there is a lot of time spent in basements, a lot of alcohol, a lot of irreverent tuning, but not all that much need for talk Most things are shared, understood: in thin mountain air, or in a waterlogged summer atmosphere, there can be a sense that breathing is effortful, that sleep is easy but not restful The songs that come out of those first few years, collected on three EPs (night beds, every fire; every joy, and hide from it), are an exercise in catharsis They’re deeply ringing things, washed in whiskey The sound is like something emergent from a tunnel It may be the red eye of a cigarette in the dark, or it may be the dawn peeking out Somewhere we might find softer light “It was never thought It just was always what felt good” So the songs come together over acoustic guitars, over the first skeletal melodies, and then they grow Yellen’s voice takes on a pure kind of thirst when wrapped in the sonic landscapes he devises It’s searching It’s taken several years to map everything out, but after a hiatus spent driving the deserts and prairies and coastal roads of the United States, sleeping in a hatchback or on friendly couches – after a long time spent alone – Night Beds has found a home in Nashville Soon it will see the release of Country Sleep, a full-length album in the spirit of the vagabond, in the winding path to a place of good rest -Nika States]]>

Start Time(s):

  Fiery redhead Anna Haas excites the senses instantly with a powerhouse voice and arrestingly honest lyrics, enhancing each line with wildly dramatic stage antics and heavy, soulful piano playing   A passionate risk-taker, Haas perpetually explores new ways to use the stage to make each show original and captivating, whether by incorporating subtle dance or fearlessly entering the audience Staggering the thick line of influence of Lady Gaga and Patty Griffin, Haas is careful to keep the focus on the music, using her on-stage antics as an illustrative complement to the songs “I love to entertain, and constantly hunger for the opportunity But, I care most about writing the truth, and creating a pure and honest reflection of what it means to be human from my personal experiences and observations,” says Haas Haas grew up in Nashville, writing music regularly and frequenting shows When she took off to Boston to study acting and dance at Emerson College, she found herself singing in blues clubs, choreographing modern dance, creating installation art, and performing lead roles in musicals such as “Chicago” and “A Chorus Line” Following college, Haas danced her way to New York City, drenching herself in the city’s culture and rediscovering her family’s roots While dedicating time to the performing arts – auditioning for Broadway shows, choreographing musicals and performing in a modern dance company, it wasn’t long before she rediscovered her voice and focused on writing music again She became a regular at open mic nights, formed a loyal following and began playing in some of the city’s most celebrated clubs “I’m in love with both New York and Nashville The culture of each is a distinct part of me I don’t want to choose I want to continue to be inspired by both Those two cities are my home,” says Haas Haas’ debut album Crazy Is is a timeless yet modern tapestry of stories and musings blending lyrical sarcasm, intelligent metaphor and absolute vulnerability The songs shift in subject matter from a secret affair and tragic loss to the use of an illegal substance and the imagined loneliness of Marilyn Monroe Crazy Is is a thrilling mix of the cities and artists that inspire Haas, and her signature, expressive voice is the crux that a legion of instrumentation swarms around: heavy, soulful piano, ripping guitar solos, ambient synthesizers, bluesy pedal steel, funky horns, and a symphony of strings Supported primarily by fans through fundraising website Kickstartercom, Crazy Is took Haas nearly two years to prepare, record and package The album was recorded in multiple studios throughout Nashville and New York to create the best sounds for each instrument, using more than 27 of some of the most renowned and Grammy award-winning musicians, who each, stylistically, bring elements of their respective genres to the record, resulting in a wildly original musical creation Expect to hear the influences of music’s most distinct artists and Haas’ favorite muses in Crazy Is, from the soulful vocal reflections of Janis Joplin and Adele and the lyrical wit and catchy piano of Regina Spektor to the angst of Fiona Apple and the passionate, climactic songwriting of Jeff Buckley and Florence Welch Haas is a true triple threat, unleashing every aspect of her fire to the public for the very first time to create an explosive experience that is wild, organic and absolutely honest  ]]>

“Apparently nobody told Daniel Ellsworth that when you drop your first full-length, it’s not supposed to be a greatest hits record You’re supposed to build up to that I say this for two reasons—just hear me out One, every song sounds like it could be a hit Two, every song sounds different, like each was plucked from a series of dusty vinyl, cracked cassettes and ripped MP3s It’s all over the place in a phenomenal way I hate comparing musicians, but this sounds like a cross between Jack White and M Ward, and those guys are about three sips of absinthe away from total wizardry Seriously, this will be my highest rated review Go Buy The Record” Lightning 100 & Brite Magazine]]>

 Formed in the spring of 2010, The Barrel Jumpers is an Americana Folk/Bluegrass band with a country music feel In a city where country and rock music dominate the landscape, the band has created a sound that draws from their modern musical surroundings while still staying true to their love of traditional roots music After performing for many years in their native Idaho, siblings Rachel and Jeremy Johnson moved to Nashville in 2006 to pursue careers in country music Within one week of moving to town, a neighbor handed them a copy of Gillian Welch's debut album "Revival", which quickly drew them into the Americana scene Over the next three years, their music was formed and shaped by the new sounds they were hearing In the summer of 2009, they met mandolin player Robert Phaneuf, a transplant from the west coast Upon discovering the many common interests that the three of them shared, the group set out to lay the foundation for what was to become The Barrel Jumpers The band has had the privilege of performing with some of Nashville's finest folks joining them on fiddle, banjo, and dobro, and Bill Baldock's bass playing is a great way to complete their sound]]>

Tommy Griffith is a modern approach to classic style country, complete with smooth, effortless vocals and well-crafted lyrics with solid instrumentation that meets at the dusty crossroads of traditional country and rock From the small mountain town of Cramer, Pennsylvania, Tommy Griffith has hard work and the highway in his DNA An auto mechanic by trade, Griffith left the garage for the guitar in 2008 and headed to Nashville to the bright light lure of the honky-tonk stages where he began writing and recording for his first album Griffith’s self-titled EP is a brew of country and Americana with a drop of rock and roll, and bears six original tracks written by Griffith that fire on all eight cylinders The unconventional project was recorded to tape in a vintage analog recording studio in Nashville to create a warm, organic sound Griffith’s evolution as a musician and songwriter is present in “Let It Burn” and “Don’t Blame Me Amy,” two songs that showcase Griffith’s signature style of a modern day approach to the classic outlaw-style country, complete with a tip of the hat to Merle Haggard and Buck Owens  ]]>

Start Time(s): &nbsp;Doors 7:00pm

DOWN IS NOW PLAYING AT EXIT/IN! ALL MARATHON MUSIC WORK TICKETS WILL BE HONORED Down don't pretend to be anything that they're not Regardless of trends, popular opinions, and changing tides, they're uncompromising, unparalleled, and undeniable That's why they resonate so profoundly in the underground and beyond After three full-length studio albums, they don't merely have a cult following—they are a cult Whether you catch fans debating the meaning of "Stone the Crow," sporting a "Power of the Riff Compels Me" t-shirt, or proudly brandishing a tattoo of their logo, the fervor for this outfit proves feverish With a collective pedigree spanning Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, and Eyehategod, there's untainted mystique and magic when Philip H Anselmo, Pepper Keenan, Kirk Windstein, Jimmy Bower, and Pat Bruders enter Nodferatu's Lair at Anselmo's New Orleans home to record On the group's forthcoming DOWN IV Part 1 – The Purple EP available via ILG, the mythos surrounding Down expands immensely Staggering riffs, thunderous drums, and Anselmo's inimitable delivery crush and captivate over the course of the collection's six songs It's dark It's dangerous It's decisive It's Down at their best In 2011 after touring the world tirelessly behind Down III: Over the Under, they regrouped in the Lair to begin working on new material There weren't any deadlines There wasn't any stress In a sense, it wasn't all that different from the band's first jam sessions in 1991 "I didn't feel any pressure," affirms Anselmo "The less I think about it, the more natural it comes Everybody in the band is well aware of what this is A lot of artists try to reinvent themselves They think they need to show different sides of who they are If there's one thing I've always cherished, it's our core audience There's no way I'd want to alienate them so we did what we do You put the five of us in a room, it's going to sound like Down" Make no mistake about it The music is unequivocally the product of this iconic entity Even though the style hasn't change, the lineup experienced one significant shift In 2011, longtime bassist Rex Brown parted ways with the group, and Bruders joined Brown's were big shoes to fill, but the bass player instantly felt at home "He played his ass off on every song," says the singer "He plays with his fingers, and there's a certain feel there It brought a whole lot to the chemistry He can adapt to anything and what he comes up with is amazing" With Bruders in the fold, they channeled a tangible and kinetic energy Songs like the first single "Witchtripper" thrive on Bower's impenetrable percussion, Keenan and Windstein's "Sabb'ed out" guitars, Bruders's propulsive bass, and anthemic hooks About that track, Anselmo smiles, "The title was an inside joke It stems from a tour we did in Spain last year We went to this beautiful town, but there was witch iconography everywhere Apparently, the entire culture believes in witchcraft I noticed most of the homes and structures had chiseled-off square stones on the roof or porch Those stones supposedly ward off evil entities We had some fun with it, naming them 'Witchtrippers' That name stuck" Across the entire opus, the vocalist conjured some truly vivid and vibrant lyrics Rather than only focusing on personal experiences, he ventured into some more foreboding territory this time around "There had to be a touch of darkness on this record," he reveals "Down gives me the platform to be poetic and paint imagery with lyrics That's the approach I took They complement the music and create an ominous feeling Ultimately, when people consume the words, it's always their interpretation that matters I could be image-conscious though when I wrote It's not so gut level or street The darker shit is some of my favorite" The EP's final track "Misfortune Teller" ebbs and flows for over nine minutes with epic intensity and towering distortion Culled from a poem of the same title that the singer penned post-Katrina, it's quintessential Down "We put too much emphasis on the hand of God, demons, bad luck, karma, Satan, or whatever you want to call it," continues Anselmo "We try to blame anything besides the fact that shit fucking happens You can't plan things, and your time here is precious It's based on that idea When you're dealt a bad hand of cards, it's about how you deal with life after you get those cards" Then, there's "This Work Is Timeless" which pays homage to the classic nature of the group's collective inspirations over as Anselmo puts it, "My Witchfinder General riff" At the same time, "Open Coffins" raises a mirror to society via a pummeling groove "It's about a lack of faith in mankind," he goes on "I'm not going to trust your ass until I'm in the coffin My coffin is still open In other words, my eyes are still wide open It goes for all of us In the right or wrong position, you don't know how you're going to react That's the imperfection of mankind God knows, I'm not fucking perfect, and I'd be the first to admit that I speak from the heart though" He and his cohorts have respectively been speaking from the heart for the entire careers and from the day Down was born Since then, their legendary 1995 debut Nola was certified platinum, while Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow 2002 and Down III 2007 remain fan and critical successes They've crossed the globe numerous times from storied performances on OZZfest and Download to jaunts with Metallica In the end, one thing remains paramount with The Purple EP and the future ahead "The only thing that makes a difference is that collective of fans," he concludes "I do believe that we have delivered a record that will be accepted and hopefully enjoyed by the Down horde—if you will If you're looking for a Down record, it's very pure and real" Get ready to join the cult — Rick Florino, July 2012]]>

Start Time(s):

There is an abiding circle: one where romance and tragedy exist together and hope coincides with desperation as a coil in nature as much as the unseen In this understanding lies the dark themes and bruising medium of O’Brother Carrying the weight of the luminance and spacey textures from their 2009 EP, The Death of Day, the Atlanta, GA five some have grown into sounds of scorching heaviness and punctuated melodic interruptions that act as puzzles in-between the groaning feedback of Garden Window, the band’s debut full length “The more we played the more we turned our amps up and the lower we tuned,” O'Brother’s lead singer/guitarist Tanner Merritt defined the soundscapes of Garden Window “The loud songs we wanted louder and heavier, but the quiet songs we wanted to get better at too” Garden Window displays more density, as the songs themselves bask in longer time frames, a dynamic intensity had to be obtained to create interest from listeners the whole way out “We wanted curve balls,” Merritt explained as the root behind the softer interludes found midway through the atmospheric explorations The voice of Garden Window grew from the nourishment of the road, a relentless schedule that brought them to share stages with the likes of Thrice, Circa Survive, Cage The Elephant, and Manchester Orchestra "Touring is your biggest influence The way you play, the way the band plays, the whole world shifts to the view from the road, even when home” Though Garden Window is not a concept album, reoccurring themes mark their presence throughout each song as a metaphysical question runs through the album’s veins, one of life and what it is perceived to be "If something is real how could you become so disconnected from it?” As writing began for Garden Window the band decided to let fans into the process of making an album, giving them live streaming video to the demo, tracking, and mixing of the album -- a process that when viewed through a lens can be strikingly tedious as bands have to stare into screens as much as the faithful New material was teased and brought out only at keen times, leaving even the most silent attendee guessing where Garden Window was headed Close friends Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra stepped in as producers, creating not only an environment of comfort for O’Brother to stumble on discovery, but the two also served to help the band develop a more conscience presentation as Garden Window stepped into slow unfurling shades Always a band that makes albums rather than songs or thunderous quick timed anthems, O'Brother's Garden Window stands as a complex, yet elegant and elegiac, dance that can be felt beneath the skin Even when O'Brother are at their most ethereal the reality of the ground stays in sight]]>

Start Time(s):

Guitar, bass, and drumsis there a more elemental form for a rock and roll band? But in today's world of manufactured pop idols and pre-packaged bands created to appeal to specific demographics, that almost makes Dispatch somewhat of an anomaly: three-piece band that has risen up under its own power, fueled not by clever marketing or expensive image campaigns, but by the sheer force of its music and its enthusiastic devotion of its legions of hard-core fans With elements of rock, funk, reggae, Dispatch music isn't easy to define, which is one reason the band hasn't actively courted mainstream radio play Instead, Dispatch has won over its fans the old-fashioned way: they earned it, gig by gig, fan by fan, driven by strong word-of-mouth and internet discussions about the band's powerful live shows, three-part vocal harmonies, and impressive instrumental prowess, eventually earning the band a massive underground following Perhaps most of all, however, audiences turned in to the band's obvious love for music and playing, and the genuine, long-standing friendship between its members: Brad (Braddigan) Corrigan on vocals, drums, guitar, and percussion; Pete Francis Heimbold on vocals, bass, guitar; and Chad Stokes Urmston on vocals, guitar, bass, and percussion As a result, attending one of Dispatch's shows became being a part of something larger than the event itself]]>

  The saying, “I’d rather be lucky than good,” chooses one of two desirable options, but what if you could have both? The duo known as the Pro Letarians were fortunate enough to be just doors apart at Indiana university, a school of over 40,000 students That’s pretty lucky With JO on production and Jupiter Jim emceeing, The Pro Letarians have created plenty of well-rounded tracks that often uniquely sample familiar songs such as The Beatles’ “Let It Be” and the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” Their tracks possess an infectious enthusiasm that makes it hard not to nod along That’s pretty good The Pro Letarians have already come out with three mixtapes despite having met each other just a year ago and being in school for a large portion of that time Their first tape, The Pregame, may have been a little rough around the edges in some spots, but the sampler showcased the duo’s potential and received positive reviews in the blogosphere They followed this up with the March 2012 release of Hello Forever, which made the duo’s sonic evolution apparent Hello, Forever was a longer, more diverse tape, which, like their debut mixtape, had no features That fact kept the spotlight, and the pressure, on them throughout December 2012’s follow up, Not All of Me Shall Die, showcased an even more refined sound, proving that The Pro Letarians are here to stay   It seems like the young duo is heading in the right direction and it will be interesting to see where The Pro Letarians end up The maturation seen in such a short time is encouraging and further proof that these kids out of Indiana are good enough to make their own luck -Excerpt taken from interview with Peter Kole of RubyHornetcom  ]]>

Beautiful sister duo POEMA released their full-length debut, Remembering You, on September 11, 2012 Creating their own songs and their own sounds, Shealeen and Elle have fully embraced their musical heritage and yet simultaneously forged new paths with the music they are making Not just another duo, these two sisters from Albuquerque, NM, grew up in a close-knit family where music was an integral part of their life “We are always growing lyrically and musically,” says Elle, “and we’re comfortable in that” This album focuses on relationships- the building, the tearing down, the earthly and the heavenly As they have lived, they have written and sang and poured many of their own stories into this new album These sisters are unique in a lot of ways- very different from each other, but the best of friends Their relationship is deep and profound, not only when they speak, but all throughout the music, their bond can be heard and felt Whether it is in the rolling harmonies or the heart-felt lyrics, the relational theme plays itself out in quietly powerful ways POEMA was named as one of AP’s “Top 100 Bands You Need to Know,” and after years of making music together, touring, and putting out successful EPs, the girls are excited about releasing their first full-length album  In the past few years, the girls say, they have fallen in love all over again with country music- the new and the old- and that grassroots sound bleeds throughout the album “It’s the story-telling,” Shealeen says, “it draws you in We write like that and connect with those types of songs” Inspired by the likes of Patsy Cline and Nickel Creek to John Mayer and Loretta Lynn, their love for country, with a touch of acoustic pop and folk, can be felt from the first spin Whether heard as singles or one full piece, this album reminds of the simpler times, family, and the varied emotions connected with being human]]>

 A 20-year career as a Hip Hop artist is rare A 20-year career as a Hip Hop artist who gets better with every album is unheard of But in the case of Antwan "Big Boi" Patton, it's no surprise As one half of Outkast with his partner in rhyme Andre 3000, Big Boi blazed trails and broke blueprints with three certified classics; 1994's Southerplayalisticadilacmuzik, 1996's ATLiens and 1998's Aquemini The duo then brought in the new millenium by selling four million copies of their genre-defying fourth studio album Stankonia only to follow it up with the diamond-selling opus Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Now, nearly a decade later Big Boi continues to break ground on his own with his second solo album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors The follow up to 2010's critically-acclaimed Luscious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty, Vicious Lies seeks to bring the truth in an era where anything but is accepted as the real "I borrowed the title from my Grandmother who passed away," explains Big "She beat cancer twice and the family said she needed to make a movie about her life She said she would write a book instead and call it Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors because she was going to tell it how it is So to me the title is a search for the undisputed truth We're living in the information age with everything at your fingertips But at same time, with social media you can take something and it will spread whether if it's true or not" Describing the album as "one-half Outkast, one whole of me," Big Boi takes sole possession of the wheel behind the Cadillac that is the Outkast legacy and cruises into unchartered territory with his thirst to expand the rules of music serving as the navigation The rap veteran known as General Patton shows off his rank on the lyrical exercise "The Thickets" and later leads the charge on "In the A" featuring fellow Atlanta troops TI and Ludacris Futuristic funk is explored on the digital jams "Objectum Sexuality" and "CPU," both featuring indie pop duo Phantogram Then Big opens up the soul basket and talks about the gain and pain of relationships on "She Hates Me" featuring Kid Cudi Even while being established with six Grammy Awards and 25 million records sold worldwide Big Boi proves that he can still spar with the new jacks when he recruits A$AP Rocky for the Organized Noize-produced "Lines" and sprint with the current stars on the adrenaline- pumping "Shoes For Running" featuring BoB Also a master of melody, Big displays his "funk throat" on the playful "Raspberries" featuring long time collaborator Scar and bounces over in- house producers The Flush's pulsating pianos on the lead single "Mama Told Me" featuring Kelly Rowland "I'm a student of music, I always looked at myself as a young Luke Skywalker," says Big, insisting that none of the special appearances or production came from phone calls but from serendipity and surprise visits "I always want to learn about the music and use all different genres I don't even look at the cameos on the album as multiple features I see them all as pieces that go together" Keeping the Outkast artistic tradition alive, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors' album art is presented as a pocket-sized art gallery with customized paintings to accompany each track The Rolling Stone-esque logo with the clinched teeth featured on the CD represents how in these times you have to be careful about what you say Big has made a name for himself being selective with his words, which is why each one he says to this day means something special "Today's trend is that you come in, get hot and disappear," says the living legend "You're not supposed to come out, get hot, do the biggest album ever and then keep cruising to where it's undeniable If you don't like this album, you don't like music"]]>

Start Time(s):

  Discovering Levi Stephens' music is like enjoying a surprisingly great meal at the local cafe you've passed a thousand times before finally deciding to stop in You thought you knew what you were getting into, but this is something more It’s refreshing --a pleasant surprise that a new artist in an industry plagued by dying creativity chooses to follow in the tradition of those classic singer-songwriters that came before His debut album, “This Way” goes far beyond the confines of R&B and seamlessly melds a variety of genres, from soul to rock to gospel to folk while always remaining honest, clever and conversational   Levi’s affinity for singing can be attributed to growing up in the Washington, DC area in a home he remembers being filled with music “My father was a big music head We grew up listening to all kinds of really good music Music was bigger than TV” Like many artists, his musical roots began in church where Levi, like his father, sang and played the piano Outside of the church, young Levi was exposed to artists like Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers and Donny Hathaway In addition to those soul legends, The Beatles, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Jimi Hendrix and Prince all made their mark on Levi's musical style and led him to the guitar which was the final piece needed to create his sound Levi’s ability to incorporate multiple influences into his music can also be attributed to his role as a producer Along with his two partners at Kollective Music, Levi has written and produced songs on 702's 2003 album “Star”, (Places and Certified), Raheem Devaughn's 2005 album, “The Love Experience” (Believe) and the Fat Albert Movie Soundtrack (Come on and Join the Gang) With each song he writes, Levi’s goal is timelessness “I feel like that kind of music will always have a place and staying power” he says His songs explore a variety of relevant subjects while including the elements that always stand the test of time; musicianship, strong lyrics, and shared experiences This line of thought is even reflected in the cover songs that Levi chooses to perform In the true spirit of an indie artist, Levi is already planning his next move: “In 5 years, I want to have 2-3 albums done and be writing and producing for other artists Then I want to work for Disney!” A place that is synonymous with excitement, lasting memories, and happiness would be a fitting home for an artist who evokes all of those emotions with his music Until then, Levi Stephens is taking listeners to his own carefully-crafted “happy place” by tackling love, life, and everything in between with his always relatable and intelligent spin  ]]>

When it comes to seminal death metal bands from North America, the East Coast alone boasts the likes of the genre's greatest staples: Death, Cynic, Morbid Angel, Immolation, and Nile Perhaps in response to Virginia's political conservativism and the state’s legacy of the Baptist religion (in addition to being known as “Mother of Presidents” because it is the birthplace of eight former US presidents), it's no surprise that band founder/songwriter/guitarist/lead vocalist James Malone adopted a mantra of courageous insurgence and very early on in his life – especially in the musical realm ARSIS, which derived its name from the musical term "arsis and thesis" meaning unstressed (up-) and stressed (down-) beats respectively, makes music that is righteously tinged with black & thrash metal influences, but is completely dedicated to expanding the reaches of melodicism and technicality in the genre of death metal]]>

Levi The Poet is a person named Levi that writes poetry As creative as the name "Levi The Poet" is for Levi, the poet, he's trying to stay as humble about is as possible Although he has written creatively for upwards of a decade (since that nostalgic "first poem" that his mom has framed and hung up on her bathroom wall - the one where he rhymed "poor, white bro" with "chips of Nabisco"), Levi didn't take to dramatic monologue until 2007, when God decided to play a practical joke on him to see if the unbearably stage-frightened adolescent would urinate all down the front of his wobbly legs mid-performance After a couple of years' worth of squeezing his uncomfortably testimonial poems into set-changes at local concerts, Levi moved out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and onto the open road where, thanks to the help of of countless folk, his undeserving, self-depreciating self has stayed Since 2009, he has resided in living rooms, schools, churches, bars, venues, and festivals along RV America (or 15-Passenger-Van 'Merica… or Broken 1986 Honda Accord 'Merica), touring and living life relentlessly, building up his concert reputation as an authentic expression of what it is to wear your heart on your sleeve Also performing: This Seasons Color, For September, Lines in the Sky, Vela Ceras, Everly, and Red Morning Voyage]]>

“Nashville’s Luella and the Sun approach the blues and gospel-soul as if these traditions were the food of the gods and they haven’t eaten for a week Luella herself has a ferocious, feminine voice, and performs with zero fear” By Ann Powers NPR Luella and the Sun, one of Nashville, TN’s must see emerging acts defies any singular description Music Connection Magazine described them in geographic terms as “feverish, bluesy jungle territory” Regardless of how they are characterized, one certain thing is that their sound ignites a soulful blend of blues-hop, gospel and rock, merging a fearless sense of abandon and equal parts restraint The band deftly works as a unit and every note has purpose, combining minimalist attitude with raw emotion – and even in their most unguarded moments, there’s a smoldering vulnerability that’s unquestionably mesmerizing Quickly capturing the attention of the music community, Luella and the Sun is a band that you do not want to miss]]>

Every Sunday night, Lightning 100 brings you our critically acclaimed live concert series featuring national, regional and local artists The show broadcasts live from 3rd & Lindsley on Sundays from 8-10pm Paul Kelly's remarkable new 11-song album "Spring and Fall" -- his 19th studio album and first collection of new material in five years -- ranks with the seminal Australian singer-songwriter's most memorable and resonant work, demonstrating why he's virtually a national hero in his home country and one of the most celebrated songwriters on the planet "Spring and Fall" arrives November 6 on the heels of an extended period of retrospective activity, during which Kelly celebrated his extensive body of work with the release of the career-spanning 40-song compilation "Songs From the South (Volumes 1 & 2)" and the eight-CD, 105-song live box set "The A-Z Recordings" In addition, there is an ongoing catalog re-issue campaign underway for his original (non-A&M) albums, most of which have long been out of print, or were never released in North America He also wrote a book, a well-received "mongrel memoir" titled "How To Make Gravy," the audio book version featured readings from Kelly as well as a bonus disc of readings from some of Australia's greatest actors, including Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Judy Davis and Hugh Jackman His entire catalog has been re-mastered and re-released through his own label, Gawd Aggie Recordings, distributed by CEN/RED Distribution in the US In a career that's spanned more than 30 years, Kelly has released a steady stream of albums showcasing his emotionally vivid, musically expansive songwriting and his uncanny ability to distill a novel's worth of narrative and character detail into an effortlessly melodic pop tune Amanda Palmer has stated that "His songwriting is up there with the greats the bittersweet and hard-core honesty of his lyrics is the sort of thing you'll only see once in a lifetime if you're lucky", while Neil Finn of Crowded House asserts, "There is something unique and powerful about the way Kelly mixes up everyday detail with the big issues of life, death, love and struggle -- not a trace of pretense or fakery in there" Australian alt-country diva Kasey Chambers says, "If I was only allowed to listen to one artist for the rest of my life, I would choose Paul Kelly" "'Spring and Fall' is a song cycle," Kelly explains "It's been five years since I made a record, and perhaps the experience of writing a book during that time made me attuned to the idea of developing a close-knit structure for the next album I did I knew I didn't just want to put out a collection of songs that were loosely related to each other Beyond the copious tributes and accolades, it's Paul Kelly's songs, and his knack for performing them with maximum conviction, that makes him a world-class creative force, and "Spring and Fall" ranks with his most powerful work After more than three decades of music-making, his work remains every bit as adventurous and inspired as ever  ]]>

"This time, I really wanted to do something different," says Darius Rucker "I went straight from my first album into my second, and it really just picked up where the other one left off So when we went into the studio on this one, we really wanted to take our time and not even start worrying about a record until we had songs that we felt were the right ones And when I heard what would become the lead single, 'True Believers,' played back, I thought, 'Wow, I've never done anything like that before!'" “True Believers,” also the name of his 2013 headlining tour, is a triumphant reflection of the rewards and challenges of sustaining a marriage - was the first song recorded for this project and became the first single and title track for Rucker's third and most ambitious country studio album While his previous two albums, Learn To Live and Charleston, SC 1966 both topped the Billboard Country Album chart and produced five Number One singles, on True Believers he opted to dig deeper, work with new collaborators, and create something more resonant both musically and emotionally "I just started with a list of guys I wanted to write with," says Rucker "The process doesn't really change - you go off in a corner and write - but I really wanted to try not to write 'Alright' again And I'm very happy with what we got I love the song choices, the sound is brighter, and even though I'm not big on listening to myself, I'm really proud of the vocals on this record" Rucker, who first attained multi-platinum status as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Hootie & the Blowfish, wrote ten of the twelve tracks on True Believers - ranging from the feel-good sing-along "Radio" to the sophisticated narrative of "Shine" He expresses special pride in the raw and realistic sentiments of songs like "Miss You" and "I Will Love You Still," a duet with young powerhouse vocalist Mallary Hope ("I don't write a lot of break-up songs," he says, "but on that one, I think there's a whole new freshness to the pain in my voice") The two songs Rucker didn't have a hand in writing are both major events of their own "Love Without You" features Sheryl Crow, with whom Rucker had wanted to record ever since they sang together at a VH1 function almost twenty years ago For his version of the popular Old Crow Medicine Show song "Wagon Wheel," initially based on a sketch by Bob Dylan, Rucker, never expecting them to say yes, invited his tour partners and Capitol Records labelmates Lady Antebellum into the studio With the latter serving as his current single, Rucker says, "they took the whole song three steps up" The singer is quick to give credit where it's due for the fact that all of these elements hang together so cohesively on True Believers For the third time, Frank Rogers served as producer for a Darius Rucker album, along with co-writing three songs "Frank's the guy," says Rucker "He just gets what I want to do He's my George Martin - not to compare myself to the Beatles, but I want him to do everything I do" Since re-introducing himself to the world as a country artist, Rucker has had a truly remarkable few years In 2008, he released Learn to Live; the album's first single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," made him the first African American with a Number One country song since Charley Pride in 1983 It was followed by two more singles that topped the chart - "It Won't Be Like This For Long" and "Alright" - and earned him the New Artist award from the Country Music Association His 2010 follow-up, Charleston, SC 1966, included two more Number Ones, "Come Back Song" and "This" Recently, Rucker was nominated for the CMA's Musical Event of the Year award for his performance of “Stuck on You” with Lionel Richie, and in October, he achieved a childhood dream when he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry Asked if he can believe the unprecedented success of his second career, Rucker just laughs "From where I was five years ago to the CMA’s and the Grand Ole Opry, why would I believe that?," he says "I didn't even know if country radio was going to play my song, but you can’t think about things like that” With the twelve songs on True Believers, Darius Rucker takes his accomplishments to impressive new heights Staying true to the real-life stories that define country music, he has crafted an album that is consistent and complex, full of joy, pain, and passion Now Rucker is looking forward to the next chapter - bringing these new songs to the stage "When I cut a record, I really think about what it will be like to play live," he says "We're already doing some of these - 'Radio,' 'Shine,' 'Wagon Wheel' - and I can't wait to start playing a song like 'Heartbreak Road' These songs were all fun to play in the studio, even just as a jam session, and that's what it's all about If I don't have fun, I know that the audience won't So when I make a record, I look for songs that I'll want to play for the rest of my life" Show starts approx 8PM Dinner available Ticket Proceeds benefit St Jude Children's Research Hospital]]>

Candid and down to earth, with a room-filling smile and a voice that echoes the heart of what she sings, Kristen laughs as she describes her music as “a little more grease than polish” And that grease is an exciting mix, distilled from her country, blues, and classic rock influences into a passionate, playful, often sexy, and always heartfelt reflection of real life as she knows it “I have a hard time singing or writing about something I can’t relate to,” she says, and that philosophy is front and center on her Arista Nashville debut album, co-produced by nine-time CMA Award-winning producer Tony Brown and two-time GRAMMY®-winning songwriter Paul Overstreet “Paul got the ball rolling,” Kristen says A chance meeting at a 2010 benefit concert impressed Overstreet enough to invite her to write with him, sparking a chain of events that ultimately led to her record deal But Kristen was far from an “overnight” discovery Born in Waco, Texas, Kristen Kelly grew up in the country, living on 10 acres in small-town Lorena, Texas “You blink, you miss it,” she smiles She credits her outdoorsy, adventurous spirit in adult life to those days of “simple country living”]]>

The success of his gospel record So the World May Hear in 2008 allowed Josh to make constant trips back to Nashville to continue writing and performing and in 2010 when Josh admits I just could not stay away anymore, he moved to town fulltime With a catalogue of nearly 300 songs Josh has written with many successful writers and publishing companies Hear him at 6:00pm Eric Von takes the stage at 10:00pm  “I have had the opportunity to meet and work with a lot of great people, but some of my best moments were when I opened for Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen, Aaron Tippin and John Anderson I also had the chance to meet David Lee Murphy and to sit down and write with Nashville’s own Kim Tribble One of the biggest moments that I have had so far came in 2008 when I was named the winner of Kenny Chesney’s “Next Big Star” contest for the Tampa area of Florida, under Country radio station WQYK and The Dallas Bull As the winner of that contest I had the honor to open for Kenny Chesney and play in front of 13,000 people at the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, Florida I have also donated my time and talent to numerous charitable causes such as, The American Red Cross and The American Cancer Society just to name a few”]]>

 In his young career, ukulele wizard Jake Shimabukuro has already redefined a heretofore under-the-radar instrument, been declared a musical “hero” by Rolling Stone, won accolades from the disparate likes of Eddie Vedder, Perez Hilton and Dr Sanjay Gupta, wowed audiences on TV (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan), earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, and even played in front of the Queen of England With his new record "Grand Ukulele," Shimabukuro’s star may burn even brighter “The best thing was that, even with all those people, we recorded everything live with no overdubs,” says Shimabukuro “It was great, tracking live with an orchestra and a rhythm section We picked up on each other’s subtle emotional cues - you could feel everyone breathing together It was like the old days of recording - when everyone tracked together - there’s a certain magic that happens”]]>

Start Time(s):

Every Sunday night, Lightning 100 brings you our critically acclaimed live concert series featuring national, regional and local artists The show broadcasts live from 3rd & Lindsley on Sundays from 8-10pm   The band’s first release from their new label home, the EP Through The Glass (produced, engineered and mixed by the band), came out in June of 2012 With Through The Glass completed, Atlas Genius then holed up in its studio and worked on writing and recording its first full-length album, while at the same time rehearsing for their first ever tour The tour started in August 2012 and led to three more tours back to back taking them thru to the end of the year Thus, their full-length debut was finished up between tour dates and got completed just before Christmas 2012 When It Was Now is set for a US release on February 19th, 2013, with an international release to follow soon after   The debut captures Atlas Genius’s singular combination of sophisticated musicality and warm, wistful spirit Infused with a classic sensibility, each of the songs would fit seamlessly if somehow slipped into a long-treasured mixtape On the shimmering “Symptoms,” for instance, taut keyboard riffs mesh with urgent acoustic strumming before the band bursts into a gently frenetic, guitar-drenched chorus Meanwhile, “Back Seat” blends its pulsing bass throb with a sweetly infectious beat and tender vocals that alternately soar and sigh And on “Trojans,” Atlas Genius begins with a restrained guitar melody and vocal (“Take it off, take it in/Take off all the thoughts of what we’ve been”) before giving way to the handclap-accented, harmony-soaked refrain and lush yet kinetic bridge  ]]>

Start Time(s):

While the city of Los Angeles has been both an inspiration and a home to the four members of Dawes, they found themselves traveling east last fall to record their third album in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with newly enlisted producer Jacquire King "Stories Don't End" is not so much a departure from the quartet's previous efforts as a distillation of them It spotlights the group's maturing skills as arrangers, performers and interpreters who shape the raw material supplied by chief songwriter and lead vocalist Taylor Goldsmith into an artfully concise and increasingly soulful sound Before he started composing for the album, says Goldsmith, "I went through a Joan Didion tear" It was right after he read the legendary author's "Democracy" that he found the title, "Stories Don't End," in her work Though Didion is currently a New Yorker, she is most associated with Southern California, its culture of the sixties and seventies, a subject she examined in gimlet-eyed prose When Goldsmith started penning new songs after several months on the road in support of Dawes' 2011 disc, "Nothing Is Wrong," his writing was even more keenly observant "From a Window Seat" was the first he completed and, he admits, "It's a very singular song A lot of the songs on the record can be a little broader, about a period in someone's life or trying to explore a certain feeling This song is about a specific experience of being on an airplane and that's not a very poetic or lyrical idea" "With Jacquire," explains Goldsmith, "we were able to hold on to an essence of what we had been, but I feel now, more than with our first two records, that this makes a case that we're a band from 2013 There a lot of bands that harken back to a period or style of a different time and that can be really limiting That was never our intention"]]>

Start Time(s): Doors at 6pm

Every Sunday night, Lightning 100 brings you our critically acclaimed live concert series featuring national, regional and local artists The show broadcasts live from 3rd & Lindsley on Sundays from 8-10pm   For three long and often lonely years of life on the road, plying a brand of honest and passionate folk/punk, Frank Turner continued to rise to prominence with an ever increasing following But it was in the sweaty climes of the Lock Up Stage at Reading and Leeds 2008 that his solo career really started to take off Inside the packed out tents, heaving with adoring fans and intrigued passers-by, Frank led the congregation in a mass sing-a-long; a stirring set that not only sparked the interest of the British mainstream but resonated unassumingly across the pond as a wealth of American punk bands watched approvingly from the sidelines Frank’s brand of folk songwriting, catchy melodies and punk passion had reached the ears of the CEO of US independent label Epitaph Records, Bad Religion’s legendary guitarist: Brett Gurewitz Excited by what he had heard and seen when Frank headlined LA’s notorious Viper Rooms in March, Gurewitz got in contact and soon enough plans were formulated and a worldwide deal was inked With loyalty and integrity firmly intact, Frank kept his relationship with his existing label Xtra Mile Recordings for all releases in the UK and Ireland and so the two labels will work closely for what will undoubtedly be an exciting new era in Frank’s ever evolving career   So with this exciting plot in place the year ahead is looking pretty good His third studio album, ‘Poetry Of The Deed’, released worldwide in September, sees Frank venture in a more rock direction recruiting his outstanding band for the recording process Performing live has always been at the very heart of the Frank Turner experience and whilst he’s still writing all the songs, they will be recorded live to help bring that experience to the album Grammy nominated producer Alex Newport – who has previously worked with Death Cab For Cutie, At The Drive-In, Two Gallants – is on production duties after contacting Frank directly asking if they could work together Coinciding nicely with the release are tours in America and Europe as well as the massive UK headline tour in October, where having previously supported The Gaslight Anthem at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, he will return triumphantly to headline for the last night of the tour Before that though, another summer of further touring and festivals lies ahead He will jet off to the East Coast of America to support The Offspring for 12 dates of their tour in July, performing solo to potentially 30,000 people He’ll play at Camp Bestival and Jersey Live fest and return full circle to this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival This time, however, he will play the larger Radio 1/NME tent midway through the afternoon and judging by what happened last year it’ll be another defining moment in this story of one beardy man and his acoustic guitar The best is yet to come  ]]>

Start Time(s):

Pure, unadulterated and empowering That has been Mary J Blige’s calling card ever since her 1992 multi-platinum debut album, What’s the 411? And in the ensuing years, the singer/songwriter’s musical strong suit has attracted an intensely loyal fan base—responsible for propelling worldwide sales of more than 50 million albums With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 29 nominations) and four American Music Awards, Blige is only getting started The singer returns just as fierce and compelling on her 10th studio album, the aptly titled “My Life II … The Journey Continues (Act 1)” Released via Blige’s Geffen/Interscope-distributed Matriarch label, the new project doubles as the sequel to Blige’s 1994 classic My Life “The original My Life started a movement,” reflects Blige “And every album since then, from Share My World and No More Drama to The Breakthrough and Stronger With Each Tear, has marked a point of growth and evolution for me and my fans What’s consistent is the fact that we all remain challenged in life to get to that next level That’s one of the reasons for this sequel And given the climate right now—the recession, war and other issues—I remembered there was so much healing with the first My Life So that was another perspective behind my recording the album” Blige once again fashions a moving testimony about love, devotion and inner strength Providing the album’s cornerstone is the track “Living Proof” Also the closing song for the hit movie “The Help,” the spare yet powerful “Living Proof” speaks volumes about life’s hard-won rewards It also resonates with Blige’s own growth as a woman and a singer/songwriter whose innate connection with her fans is unshakable Bearing witness is the song’s second verse: “So glad the worst is over Cuz it almost took me out I can start living now I feel like I can do anything Finally I’m not afraid to breathe” “My fans and I are living examples that you can turn a negative situation into something positive,” declares Blige “Conceptually, people have heard me like this But artistically, with just a guitar, I don’t think they’ve ever heard me like that before” And Blige’s artistic growth doesn’t stop there She goes toe to toe with Drake on her current uptempo chart-climber “Mr Wrong,” then displays equal doses of fervor and naked honesty, respectively, on “25/8” (sampling the late Heavy D gem “Now That We Found Love”) and “No Condition” She taps her rap alter ego Brook Lynn for the romance-sparked “Midnight Drive” And as she did in 1993 with the 1975 Rufus featuring Chaka Khan hit “Sweet Thing,” Blige stamps new meaning onto a dance-floor revamp of the group’s 1983 classic “Ain’t Nobody” Rounding out Blige’s life sequel are guest turns from Nas, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross and a first-time pairing with Beyoncé on the diva-licious “Love a Woman” “A lot of women are misunderstood and a lot of men think they know what to do But they don’t,” says Blige with a laugh “This overall topic is very important right now” To help map our her Life journey, Blige collaborated with such intuitive producers as Jim Jonsin, Rico Love, Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis, Danja, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Sean Garrett, Tricky Stewart and the Underdogs “Whoever has the right track that grabs my spirit, moves me and goes with the topics I’m coming up with … those are the producers I go for,” says Blige about her creative process Born in the Bronx, New York, Blige began moving people with her soulful voice when at 18 she signed with Andre Harrell’s Uptown Records in 1989, becoming the MCA-distributed label’s youngest and first female artist Influenced at an early age by the music of Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight, Blige brought her own gritty, urban-rooted style—fusing hip-hop, soul and honest, frank lyrics—to the forefront on her 1992 debut album What’s the 411? The multi-platinum set, executive produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs, quickly spun off several hits, including two No R&B No 1s: “You Remind Me” and “Real Love” Earning the nickname the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” Blige began forging a unique niche for herself on the more personal second album, 1994’s My Life Co-writing a major portion of the album this time around, Blige reaped such hits and signature songs as “Be Happy” and a cover of Rose Royce’s 1976 hit “I’m Goin’ Down” At the time she was dealing with several serious issues in her life, including drug addiction, alcoholism and an abusive relationship Notes Blige, “When I went first went into the studio to work on My Life II, it occurred to me how strong I’ve become since then And that what has made me strong is not just the joy and great things happening in my life but the trials and difficulties that cause you to want to move out of that uncomfortable place to get to the next stage With the first My Life album, I didn’t have that understanding I just did not know why I was suffering so bad, why I was hurting” And thus began the Blige movement: connecting legions of fans who identify with and have accompanied her throughout her personal travails and growth—all fearlessly related through her music Each subsequent album reads like a chapter from an autobiography: Share My World (1997), Mary (1999), No More Drama (2001), Love & Life (2003), the multiple Grammy-winning and hit-spewing The Breakthrough (2005), Growing Pains (2007) and Stronger with Each Tear (2009) Along the way, she’s lined up a string of hit singles, including “Not Gon’ Cry,” “Love Is All We Need,” Seven Days,” “All That I Can Say,” “Family Affair” and “Just Fine” Music isn’t the only thing keeping Blige busy She is the co-founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN), whose mission is to empower women from all walks of life to reach their full individual potential Flexing her talents as an entrepreneur, Blige launched her Melody line of sunglasses in 2009 In 2010, her “My Life” perfume became the first to sell more than 60,000 bottles in one day on the Home Shopping Network—with $1 from each purchase donated to FFAWN A second perfume, “My Life Blossom,” was introduced in summer 2011 Blige, who co-penned “I Can See in Color” for 2009’s “Precious” soundtrack, is also ramping up her acting career She’ll appear next June in the Adam Shankman-directed “Rock of Ages,” the theatrical version of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical with stars Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin and Catherine Zeta Jones As she continues her multi-faceted journey, however, one constant remains for Blige: her fans “Being connected with their lives is what keeps me going,” she says “They’re the reason why I am where I am: confident in knowing who I am and what I can do With each album, it’s just me continuing to grow And that’s the takeaway I want for my fans with My Life II … to please look at what we’ve survived and how strong we are now”  ]]>

Kelly's brother, Chris, can be heard banging out his funky beats on the drums in "Bad Habit," "Restless," "Crazy Beautiful," and "In Love with Love" Kelly is also what the industry might call a “Triple Threat” as her talents are not limited to singing Kelly is not only a classically trained singer, but also has collegiate training in dance and theatre Kelly's passion for dance definitely comes through in her songwriting, as strong rhythmic patterns and driving beats tend to be the foundation of a lot of her songs Kelly's mindset is, “I don't just want people to want to dance when they hear my music, but have to dance when they hear my music!” This “Quadruple Threat” singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress is in a category all her own]]>

Start Time(s):

Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting and one of the top songwriters to emerge out of the fertile Boston folk scene He helped create a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk rock style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 90's His charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters - his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks - he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers Yet to hear him at this crossroads moment in his career, you would think he was just getting started For years, he has been among the folk circuit's most popular and dependable headliners, with a mailing list of over 20,000 fiercely loyal fans He has released 14 CDs, and recently explored new media avenues with a documentary/concert DVD called "3,000 Miles," and "Notes from the Road," a critically acclaimed book of poems and stories In recent years, he has also departed from his solo career to tour and record with longtime compadre Vance Gilbert, and to indulge his deep respect for American folk icon Woody Guthrie He appeared with the all-star Guthrie tribute tour, "Ribbon of Highway, Endless Skyway" For his Philo CD, "The Speed of Trees," he wrote a modern musical setting of Guthrie's unpublished lyric "God's Promise"]]>

Start Time(s):

Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys and Alejandro Escovedo will be at War Memorial Auditorium on June 22, 2013 at 7:00pm “I can take a punch, I can take a swing,” sings ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO on “Man of the World,” the opening salvo of Big Station, his new album on Fantasy Records The two phrases well describe his 35 years as a musician and two decades as a solo artist, the sum of which attests to the redemptive power of rock’n’roll and the driving role that it has played in his life and art More than three decades have passed since LOS LOBOS released their debut album, Just Another Band from East LA Since then they’ve repeatedly disproven that title—Los Lobos isn’t “just another” anything, but rather a band that has consistently evolved artistically while never losing sight of their humble roots For Tin Can Trust—Los Lobos’ first release for Shout! Factory (due August 3) and first collection of new original material in four years—the venerable quintet reconnected directly with those roots by returning to East LA and recording at Manny’s Estudio, “in a rundown neighborhood,” says Los Lobos songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Louie Pérez “That took us out of our comfort zone and allowed us to do what we hadn’t done in quite some time: to play together in the same room, as one This was not about putting your feet up; this was about working” Can anything even more magical happen in the already charmed career of LOS LONELY BOYS? You bet It’s called Rockpango, their first self produced long player on their own LonelyTone/Playing In Traffic Records And yeah, it’s magical indeed At least as magical — and maybe more so — as debuting in 2003 with a multi-chart gold single, selling millions of albums, winning a Grammy, racking up reams of critical acclaim, opening for The Rolling Stones, and many more accomplishments for the Texican rock’n’roll trio of brothers Plus playing and recording with such legends as Willie Nelson and Carlos Santana, associations that give a strong hint at what’s at work here on Rockpango After proving themselves one of the most stunning and wonderful musical success stories of the last decade, Los Lonely Boys are now carving out their legend with their fourth studio album Even though the band has already shown they can “up the ante with greater musicianship and confidence” (People) every time out, on Rockpango they heighten the trajectory, open up their sound, and show what flourishing maturity feels like from these veteran yet still young and burgeoning musical talents]]>
