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
If you didn’t know, Fleetwood Mac was in town this past week on their most recent reunion tour, “On with the Show”. And even though it has been (almost) more years than I’ve been alive since they’ve been releasing any new music with regularity or even been on good terms as a whole, the KFC … More Crossing another one off of “The Wall”
Normally we write about music happenings around Louisville, but I think it’s also important to be supporting all kinds of arts around town. Last weekend we attended the second to last performance of At the Vanishing Point, a play put on by Actors Theatre. We were especially interested because we knew that cellist Ben Sollee … More At the Vanishing Point brings audience to the banks of Beargrass Creek
A WFPK dandy and packed Zanzabar equals a solid Saturday night with The Apache Relay, even if it is the most hated day of the year for single gals like us. Zbar hosted another sold out doozie with this Nashville based band who apparently has some serious ties to our city. We struggle working with … More Friends and/or fans in high places for The Apache Relay
Fowlerfest 2015. Steve Fowler, you must be one pretty cool dude to not only have a night dedicated to you at Zanzabar, but to have Frederick the Younger, Spirit Animal, and Kaleidico all play for you. We haven’t actually met you yet in person, but when we do, we’re hoping we can absorb some of that … More Life goals: Our faces on balloons and shows just for us. Fowlerfest 2015.
Shovels & Rope might as well relocate from their beloved Charleston to Louisville. The duo has been here three times in the past five months, twice since the new year, and they’ll be back for Forecastle in July. Our city has definitely opened its arms to this lovely couple as Headliners welcomed them back on Wednesday for … More Back again, Shovels & Rope sells out Headliners
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
Our excitement started last May when we bought the tickets on a whim after seeing a friend post about the event on Facebook. I hadn’t heard any other news about it earlier (odd, right?), but sure enough, it was confirmed that Ben Folds was coming to Louisville and would be performing with the Louisville Orchestra. … More Ben Folds and the Louisville Orchestra make magic together
Do502 teamed up with WFPK and Leo Weekly as well as Louisville’s top notch local music venues (Mercury Ballroom, Headliners Music Hall, Zanzabar and The New Vintage) to put on an inaugural Free Week. Starting January 27th with a kick off party at Haymarket Whiskey Bar, local music fans were able to check out established … More #FreeWeekLou takes over the city’s music scene
Joe Henry rounded out our epic week of shows last Tuesday night at Headliners. Honestly, we probably would have sat this one out if we didn’t have the frequent flyer pass, but having it means there is no excuse not to go. Accompanied with a clarinet/saxophone player, who just so happens to be his son … More Story time with Joe Henry and his guitar
