Dang Louisville weather has been pretty crummy. Luckily, the rain held off long enough so that we could enjoy a summer sunset concert out on Foxhollow Farm. One of the lovely things about this series is the fact that it is out 30 minutes from the city on a legit farm. The change of pace … More A trip to the farm and true America
Saturday of ROMP was the band’s first and only day at the festival, but they seemed to be having a good time already when I had the chance to chat with them in the afternoon. Hailing from San Francisco, The Brothers Comatose started out with brothers Ben and Alex Morrison having some fun in their … More An afternoon chat with The Brothers Comatose at ROMP
This year was definitely the rainiest of any ROMP I’ve been too – I’m not envious of the upkeep it’s going to take to get the park back to its normal condition. We spent most of the day huddled under our almost-blowing-away canopies, but it made for an afternoon full of card games, bourbon and … More Big names for Friday at ROMP
We’ve been out and about since school ended, road-tripping across the country out west and then back again. What better way to be welcomed back home than to attend one of this city’s favorite extracurriculars? Not only that, but the lineup was a perfect warm up for the upcoming ROMP weekend. Banjo masters Béla Fleck & … More The best of the best for June’s Waterfront Wednesday
The music industry is such that everyone is trying to stand out and produce something different – most successful bands are able to make this happen. And then there is St. Vincent: a true talent who, so naturally, presents herself and her music in a way that is impossible to ignore. There are very few comparisons … More The freakishly riveting St Vincent
New Albany is known for being a quaint town across the river, whose heyday reached a peak back in the 19th century – hence the moniker, “Boomtown.” My dad would tell me the most famous person to come from New Albany is Fuzzy Zoeller (a golfer), but in more recent times, the big name is Houndmouth. … More It was a beautiful afternoon in Boomtown
It has been researched and proven that the energy of one person can drive the energy of an entire group – this is my sports psychologist coming out. The experience of a J Roddy show backs that up pretty clearly. With his over-the-top antics on the keys, enviable locks and the combined effect they have, any crowd will … More Proof that energy is contagious
Seeing a band twice in one week is a pretty unlikely thing. Seeing them in a festival environment and then in a general admission ballroom makes for a compelling comparison. Catching several artists in this way, all in a week radius… well I’m pretty luck to say I’ve done it. TV on the Radio was one band in … More We know TVOTR and they know Louisville
We double dipped this past Wednesday night, refusing to miss either show even though it meant a bit of traveling. To start, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue were in town at the Mercury Ballroom, playing for a “Mardi Gras in May” themed crowd. The $20 VIP Mardi Gras gig sounds like it would have been a … More “Mardi Gras in May” and a Communion Showcase
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
