Katie Toupin made the comment this was her favorite show they’ve ever done- last Thursday we were in the same boat. The crowd’s adoration and support for the local band Houndmouth (now becoming nationally acclaimed) was felt by all, as the room was at max capacity with family, friends and faithful fans. [Aubrey] I can’t even … More Houndmouth’s visit home
The basics of The Lone Bellow, at first, are nothing that stand out as particularly extraordinary. Two guys and a girl, some guitars, mandolin, drums, keys… pretty basic. Their songwriting is honest and catchy and they are good looking people. But seeing this group perform live takes The Lone Bellow to a whole other level. … More 3rd time’s a charm – The Lone Bellow returns to a sold out crowd
The Punch Brothers have been a favorite of mine for a few years, so when I discovered they’d be playing just a couple hundred miles away in Music City, I immediately jumped at buying tickets. For living so close (it’s only about 3 hours with minimal traffic), we have spent little to no time in … More Punch Brothers deliver bluegrass brilliance at the Mother Church
We saw them from afar at Shaky Knees last year. Food and a seat drew us away from the main scene for a little while in the middle of that Saturday afternoon. Still, as Cold War Kids took one of the smaller stages, the crowd was large, rowdy, and very into them. Mercury Ballroom offered a more … More Another return to the Ville for Cold War Kids
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
First let me say that I started writing this before I knew Brittany was writing her post about upcoming shows. I guess this shows how creepily in sync we are. I realize that it is not even technically winter yet, and not to wish away the next several months or anything (Happy Thanksgiving by the way!), … More Is it festival season yet??
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
The last event of the birthday concert celebration week was St. Lucia at Headliners. I saw St. Lucia briefly under the bridge on the Red Bull stage at Forecastle, and although I didn’t catch their entire set (had to head over to Gary Clark Jr) it was one of the most memorable acts of the … More Birthday Part III- St. Lucia
