Lake Street Dive, made up of 4 extremely talented musicians, returned to Louisville Friday, their second time in town in less than a year. Last September, the band put on a phenomenal show for WFPK’s 2014 Waterfront Wednesday finale, drawing one of the biggest crowds the series has seen. Friday, I was selected as a … More A smooth, sensuous evening with Lake Street Dive
Even though we had a music junkie’s dream weekend, and were pretty worn out, our streak was set to continue. We literally jumped off the plane, showered and got ready for this highly anticipated show: Milky Chance was in town for a sold out event at Headliners. Milky Chance has certainly gained notoriety for their … More An organic & electronic drum combo helps Milky Chance stand out
Murder By Death is a recently relocated band with origins in Bloomington, Indiana. A little while back, we spoke with front-man Adam Turla; he let us know that although he is a Hoosier (like me), he and the band have planted some roots in our Old Kentucky Home. Fittingly, the most recent Murder By Death … More A good ol’ Derby Eve affair
We’ve been to our fair share of early week events at Headliners and each time it blows my mind when the venue is filled. This tells me patrons are not afraid of a little work week concert-going, especially if the band is of a high caliber. The Mountain Goats were in town for a Tuesday night … More A lesson in quality song writing
A dear friend and fellow teacher joined us for the Found Footage Festival at Headliners. Erin has an arts background and agreed to write about our non-musical adventure in this guest post: Friday night welcomed a change of pace for Headliners Music Hall with the fascinating and oh-so-funky Found Footage Festival. Curated and narrated by … More Plum Simply Amazing: Found Footage at Headliners
Delta Spirit had the crowd at Headliners on its feet and singing loudly last Tuesday, even though it was their first time venturing to Louisville. Self-admitted, Delta Spirit produces songs that are catchy and easy to join in on, all the while being very visceral and meaningful to the band. They have strong roots in … More It’s the catchy edginess that sets Delta Spirit apart
Punk band The Gaslight Anthem knows how to put on a show and doesn’t think twice about what day of the week it is. Was it really a Monday? The atmosphere at Headliners last week would have fooled anyone. Devout followers crammed toward the front of the stage and along the upper balcony to be … More Tenacity + heart: Ingredients for an energetic, fun-loving band
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
Wednesday night’s events were lined up to be a big one from the beginning. And a little snow (by that I mean 10 inches) wasn’t going to stop us from getting to it all. Bermuda Highway, Katie Toupin’s (Houndmouth) side gig here in town, has been bringing in some friends to play small, free shows inside … More Even the weather couldn’t stop this night
Bluegrass fans might be some of the most devout fans of any genre. The crowd at Headliners last week, amid the intense snow and chilling winds, was out of control for a Thursday night with Greensky Bluegrass. It wasn’t the largest crowd in any way, but it may have been one of the most active … More Their own sort of Michigan bluegrass: Greensky Bluegrass
