It’s been a quiet week, almost a full seven days since a show. That hasn’t happened since…August? Weird. But while we were laying low on the concert-going front, we did score some tickets to upcoming shows that we’re really excited about! December: Aubrey was the lucky caller this week when Duke gave away Glass Animals … More Things to be excited about: Upcoming shows
You should consider yourself lucky if you were able to attend this weekend’s launch party for the up and coming Do502. Party-goers were only let in on their list status and the location a mere 24 hours in advance of the show. The launch took place at Play Louisville, just next door to Butchertown Market where … More Do502 launches in the right direction
In 2012, ROMP was one of the first real bonding experiences that Aubrey and I had together. We barely knew each other and spent 3 days camping in 106 degree weather, drinking far too much bourbon, parking cars while hungover, and most importantly listening to amazing music. We were so taken that we even joined … More OCMS sells out Louisville Palace
We still don’t know the location, and only a select few actually know if they’re getting in. Do502 certainly has kept its lips sealed about its official launch party this Saturday night. Folks have been able to RSVP now for a while for the chance to be included on this selective list, but that still … More Do502’s Super Secret Launch Party: A Preview
So I randomly saw on Twitter last weekend that the lovely and talented [doesn’t like to be called “child prodigy”] Teddy Abrams was having an open house at his new Market Street home with live performances by members of the Louisville Orchestra all day. It was part of NuLu’s Holiday Open House, which apparently I … More Teddy is indeed taking over
Headliners certainly takes on a new feel when it’s a seated show. Only a handful of folks were in the audience for this one, but everyone was enjoying the almost private performance by two great singer/songwriters. We got there toward the end of Louisville native Justin Paul Lewis‘ set. While we normally struggle to make … More A quiet evening with Justin Paul Lewis & Matt the Electrician
Act I: We show up late per usual, (sorry, openers) but the first band is still playing. Arkells, harking from Ontario, is rocking the stage, with a surprising number of dedicated fans. You can immediately tell that they’re Canadian, but lead vocalist Max Kerman babbles about his love for Southern accents in a story that … More Getting intimate with Tokyo Police Club & Arkells
One of the first shows I won tickets to in Louisville was to see Yonder Mountain String Band at Headliners in 2012. The played a great set following Brown Bird (what are they up to nowadays, anyway?). Last week, following the establishment of Do502, I scored us two tickets to see Yonder Mountain again, this time … More Winning comes full circle with Yonder Mountain
It was my first time to a show at Haymarket, having only been there just a couple of other times. Walking back to the stage area makes you feel like you’re entering a cellar, with damp exposed brick and tired lighting. The Chicago-based Sidewalk Chalk had been there earlier this year, and they returned last … More Sidewalk Chalk: A Haymarket favorite
Yet another band that we were first introduced to at ROMP! (Although I think I may have heard of them from attending Merlefest earlier that year.. not sure though). They’ve switched out members almost every time we’ve seen them, but I have never been disappointed by a performance from the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and I … More Those Drops from Carolina
