Last week Bruce Springsteen announced that he would going out on tour with the E Street band in support of them re-issuing the The River as part of an expanded collection named the The Ties That Bind: The River Collection. It’s been 35 years since the original double album was release so I guess they…
Thursday the 10th: Chamomile and Whiskey / Old Arrows / Hunter’s Cannon @ The Fire Chamomile and Whiskey are from Charlottesville and they’ve got a down home fold feel to them that I dig. Thursday the 10th: Weekender / Vug Arakas / Sam Kogon @ Kung Fu Necktie Weekender is a Indie / Psych…
Have you ever dated someone that was part of your group of friends for years then one day for whatever reason you two ended up together? If anyone asked you about them in the past you would say “yeah, they’re cool” and maybe even acknowledge that they’re attractive but you just thought of them as friends….
That was one hell of a food coma! Actually I’m just lazy. I didn’t even eat much, just some chicken and salad. But at least I did some drinking. And some listening to music. Nothing new though and honestly, mostly The National. As I stated before, the beginning of “McCormack’s Wall” from the new Glen…

It’s been over ten years since Sam Beam’s collaboration with the band Calexico was released. The In the Reins Ep was always an interesting listen and it still is. It starts off with “He Lays in the Reins” featuring Spanish Operatic vocals and contains great songs like the bluesy “Red Dust” and the western-ish “A…
Not long ago I was watching live Springsteen videos again and I ended up watching a concert from his 2014 Australian Tour that lasted nearly 4 hours. Clearly not having a job has allowed me to keep busy. Regardless, I surprised see that playing guitar with the band was not only The Boss and Stevie…
Wed. the 4th: Craig Finn / Esme Patterson @ Underground Arts Craig Finn is on tour in support of his new album ‘Faith in the Future’. I haven’t listened to it yet but he always puts on a good show and for $13 you may as well check it out. Thur. the 5th: Man About a Horse…
