Remember back about a year ago when I said Mumford and Sons were your new favorite family? Well, if you don’t here’s a potent reminder. Fresh off a whirlwind week at CMJ, the boys have returned to London for some much needed rest. Announcing their new US home of Glassnote records last week and an [...]

I can’t write a better review than this… thanks Jeff… read below for my personal reflections…
THIS RAN HERE
Emmylou Harris was a silver-haired spirit of the Earth, like watching a mysterious, snow-covered mountaintop in the distance. Buddy Miller was a fedora of rumpled soul, whose guitar and astonishing voice — a blend of country-blues twang and [...]

For the second time since my son was born. MORE TOMORROW…
You’d think that with the huge amount of shows this fall Ithaca has to take a break eventually, right? Well, apparently not, as once again Castaways was filled to the seams Thursday night with concertgoers. The attraction this time around? St. Vincent. Taking a day off from their tour with Andrew Bird, the band made [...]

You have got to see this movie. Hands down. Califone have made a habit out of choosing diverse and whimsical themes for their albums and this album/film combo is no different.

DSP is proud to announce the return of acclaimed folk singer/songwriter Greg Brown to Ithaca on Thursday, February 11th at the beautiful third floor ballroom of the [...]
The problem with America is that people eat because they’re terribly depressed. In Japan, on the other hand, all-girl pop punk bands eat because they LOVE FOOD. Enter Shonen Knife, the amazingly happy, supremely catchy and ultimately badass rockers from Osaka. They were Japan’s Ramones in the 80s and now they’re touring North America in [...]
Ithaca is the new place to debut songs. Barely a week after new Sufjan vids hit the net from the DSP show at Castaways, They Might Be Giants come to town on the first day of their tour and do the same thing. Playing in a new configuration (John Flansburgh announced that for the first [...]
