I’ve spent my entire life staring in awe at guitarists. I’ve seen Clapton, Trucks, Haynes and Betts, Garcia, Springsteen, Malkmus, King and Guy. I’ve stood and danced and studied as my favorites picked and bent and pulled their way to new dimensions of song and sound, all on the surface of these six-strings. Well, watching [...]

Update: Ok, so Battery Park was incorrect. The Dead are playing three shows on Monday. The first is an acoustic set at 5pm at Angel Orensanz. Next comes an 8pm electric full band set at the Gramercy Theatre. Finally, they’ll play an 11pm show over at the Roseland. If you haven’t put in a request [...]

Update: So the Beacon Run is over. I’m sad. I’ll miss the excitement of the shows, night after night. I only went to two of them, but just following along on the the Allmans’ forum message board was thrilling in its own right. The Brothers definitely brought it over this three week stretch. They made [...]

Well, it’s not every weekend that you get to two bands as dissimilar as the Allman Brothers and the Ting Tings, nearly back to back. But that was the case as I took in the Allmans’ Beacon blowout on Saturday, followed by the Ting Tings’ Terminal 5 triumph on Monday. Both shows were excellent, even [...]

Hell of a night at Carnegie Hall as 20 acts came out to honor R.E.M. with renditions of the Athens, GA trio/quartet’s finest songs. The eclectic group of contemporaries and disciples did justice to the songs and honor the band, but that’s not to say the show was without its head scratching moments. Before I [...]

March is shaping up to be a tremendous month for me. First, on Tuesday, this delightfully understated Irish quartet will release their new album. Now, honestly, I’m a bit iffy about it. I haven’t loved the little I’ve heard from it, thus far. Still, I respect their catalog enough that I’ll pick it up and [...]
M. Ward – Hold Time

So I happened upon M. Ward’s yet-to-be-released album Hold Time and couldn’t pass up giving it a listen. It comes out on the 17th and I’ll be sure to purchase it then. Fortunately, it’s well worth its price tag. I remember as a kid being confused about the blues. I understood that it grew out [...]
Shut Out

So my dreams of seeing Leonard Cohen suffered a setback this morning. While I focused on my job, my trusted surrogate attempted to secure three tickets to his now-sold-out show at the Beacon Theatre on February 19. Sadly, no go. Whatever tickets had survived the fan club presale were long gone within 10 minutes. Bummer. [...]
