Joe Henry rounded out our epic week of shows last Tuesday night at Headliners. Honestly, we probably would have sat this one out if we didn’t have the frequent flyer pass, but having it means there is no excuse not to go. Accompanied with a clarinet/saxophone player, who just so happens to be his son … More Story time with Joe Henry and his guitar
We had been planning to go all along, but then we found out Twin Limb was going to be there, so we were 100% in. And then we only caught the last two songs since Zbar has been on its game lately as far as starting things on time. We’ll get you next time, ladies. … More Landlady brings just the right amount of crazy
Night 5 of the 6 shows in 7 days stretch had us viewing Bully and Strand of Oaks at Zanzabar. Unlike Headliners, the doorman isn’t overtly recognizing us, so that has now become my personal mission.

The … More There’s nothing wrong with a little grit and grime from Lucero
It is unbelievable that we have already made it to the second to last WFPK Winter Wednesday of the season- thankfully, it appears these cold, dreary months are flying by because of how busy we have been. The line-up for this month included local artist Joan Shelley and Matthew Ryan. We have talked a lot about … More More local talent on display at January’s Winter Wednesday
Since we saw him at the beginning of 2014 for a sold out Headliners show, we haven’t been able to get Jason Isbell out of our heads. He’s got a bit more of a country sound than we’re normally attracted to, but his songs are real and his voice is so soothing that we have … More Jason Isbell and Shovels & Rope ring in 2015 at the Palace
Congratulations are due to Louisville band Twin Limb on several accounts. First, it was just announced that the duo, turned trio, will be heading out on the road with Houndmouth next month. Second, Twin Limb is a first for this blog- this is the first multiple post band for us (Brittany saw them at Decca … More Twin Limb’s additions add up
