Normally we’re able to sneak around through the cracks in the crowd to get a front or second row spot at Zanzabar. The Field Report and Bahamas show last weekend proved otherwise though, as everyone in the sold out crowd wanted to be as close to stage as possible. Few opening bands that we’ve seen … More Sweetly serenaded by Bahamas and Field Report
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
Everyone knows the midwinter blues – spending the time wishing for hot weather, clear blue skies, and music-filled festival days. I think specifically of ROMP, especially back to the summer of 2012 when we had that major heat wave that started the weekend of the festival. I may not be able to make time fly by … More MMSB gives us a little bluegrass fever
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
Prior to starting this, we listed out all of the Louisville shows (not including other cities, or, for the most part, festivals) so we could come up with some categories. We found it crazy that we’d been to more than 60 shows this year. With our teaching schedule, it’s pretty awesome that we’ve been so … More ‘Best of 2014’ Shows in Louisville
Overheard on Twitter: “Can’t explain last night to you if you weren’t there. You’ll hear about it. Amazing. Louisville hip-hop is alive.” We couldn’t agree more. Louisville rappers Jalin Roze, 1200, Skyscraper Stereo, Dr. Dundiff and Bird Zoo all collaborated for an event at Headliners unlike any other show we’ve been to around town. How … More Just the beginning: Louisville hip hop stuns crowd
We’ve mentioned Waterfront and Winter Wednesday before, but I really can’t say enough times how awesome it is to have such a great public radio station that puts on concerts like these. And since a lot of funding comes from supporting members, it really is comforting to know that so many people in our little … More We saw them first – December’s Winter Wednesday
I caught a glimpse of Steelism at the July Waterfront Wednesday this year as they opened up for Ben Sollee, but as you all know by now, timing can be a bit of an issue, so I wasn’t able to see them play a full set. We made up for that this past Friday, thanks … More Steelism delivers instrumental set at Zbar
I decided to do a bit of solo adventuring again since Aubrey wasn’t back in town yet from Thanksgiving. With Do502’s advice in mind, I ventured to Decca to see Twin Limb perform. I was glad I decided on going because I had missed them at the Do502 launch party a few weeks ago. It’s … More Twin Limb packs Decca’s cellar
We’ve been huge 23 String Band fans for the last few years, and were surprised and saddened to hear that they were disbanding, but hopeful that this would lead to exciting new projects for the band members. Fiddler Scott Moore has been on his game, forming the new roots rock band, Niles Foley. The band played … More Scott Moore’s got a new gig
