Conscious lyrics and infectious grooves characterize the incredible work of Citizen Cope. This is Cope’s gift: He takes snapshots of the world around him, and turns them into universal truths. He sets them to the simplest of melodies, and weds those in turn to the most soul-stirring grooves. Cope makes it clear that the things [...]

Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Bird picked up his first violin at the age of 4. Actually, it was a Cracker Jack box with a ruler taped to it, and the first of his many Suzuki music lessons involved simply bowing to the teacher and going home. He spent his formative years soaking up classical [...]

Billy Bragg was described by The Times newspaper in England as a ‘national treasure’. In the two and a half decades of his career Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the [...]

GRAMMY-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers David Crosby and Graham Nash will embark on a tour as “two together,” in a rare opportunity to savor an intimate, harmony-heavy experience with two of rock’s most legendary singer-songwriters. David Crosby and Graham Nash will perform a diverse range of memorable songs from throughout their careers, and [...]

The voice is more visual than audible; shaded, iridescent, tangible, substantial. It seems to flow effortlessly.
The new first lady of modern jazz appears in a special engagement here at the State. Her work spans the gamut of musical heritage and her incredible touring band always includes the most sought after players. This is the can’t [...]

Satisfaction comes in many ways.  And often one must wait years for it to solidify into something that makes you whole.  Not only that, its a good story and a great excuse to tout another of those life-changing albums. Well, my life anyway.
The year was 1992 and young Dan Smalls was about to graduate from [...]

Sometimes it takes just a song to take you back… and sometimes the memories are bittersweet yet thoroughly invigorating if that makes any sense.
Today at lunch I was reminded of all the women who have broken my heart. Not a terribly tremendous list but a few that hit home. And a few that [...]

That’s the new single from Kings of Leon, who I must admit disappointed a bit on their last studio effort.  This song, however, is KoL at their best – raw, electric, and the angst-filled vocals that force your toes to tap and make you start singing the chorus before you even realize you know the [...]

Wait for it…

OK so now I made you wait.  This post may be monitored for quality assurance.  Big brother is watching and listening to all you say so don’t try anything.

Nice to see slumping sales across the board for the “Blockbuster Summer Tours.”  Hopefully we’ve had enough of the same old stuff touring again this year and milking our entertainment dollar.  How about we pay attention to new and creative acts that deserve the recognition?  We’ve tried to keep a lot of emerging artist tickets [...]

Love is noise is the incredible new single from Richard Ashcroft and his reunited gang. Stunning. A return to form and for me, a wonderful bit of news in a depressing time for reunions. Enough of the Journey comebacks people. This band is incredibly relevant and always have been. Shame [...]

The godfather of Americana arrives in Ithaca to bring down the house.
