It’s true. This Wednesday. You might catch folkers next year like this guy: Four guesses: C,S,N or Y? …who happened to be incredible at this past summer’s Newport Folk Fest. So you know we’re partial to this particular Fest. We might have something of a history with this one. And you can, too, but only if you’re able to grab a ticket. (And be warned, they’ve been selling out within a day… except for Friday. So…) Again, reminder: This Wed, Nov. 30th. 10 am Eastern Time. Click this kind of link to get to the Folk Fest site. And again, last July weekend in 2017:Read More →

Matthew Logan Vasquez – Solicitor ReturnsNo label-out now4 / 5 Let’s cut to the chase for y’all: it’s a good album. Now Austin-based rocker/writer Matthew Logan Vasquez, from Delta Spirit / Middle Brother fame has his solo album. And it’s good.

Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter. Photo (c) by Timothy Saccenti. Boston House of Blues, Boston, MA. Fri. 10-21-16, Doors. 7pm, Show 8pm. $25-$45. Electro-pop duo Phantogram has strikingly few dates in the New England area. In fact, they have just one, which is a shame, considering a good portion of their dates are selling out. We’re going to make the trek to Boston for this one, because, well, they’re releasing their aptly named album Three and we feel like electro-dancing our ass off. Possibly to a single like this one. This would be our first time catching Barthel and Carter, and we’re certainly excited to feelRead More →
