I was blown away when I saw her in 2012 at my first ROMP. She has such a presence on stage that it’s impossible to focus on anything else. Every hair on your body is pretty much upright during the entire performance. Rhiannon Giddens is an incredibly talented musician who has pushed herself musically over … More My arm hairs are still standing a month later, thanks to Rhiannon Giddens

Summer is winding down for us teachers, so we are making sure to take full advantage of our free time and are hitting as many shows as possible before things pick back up for us. Friday night we had the opportunity to catch two acts making their first ever stops in Louisville. We started with … More A few new ones to Lou
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
Last year’s Shaky Knees experience was so spectacular that we jumped on the super early bird tickets for this years fest. The 2014 lineup included some of our favorites (Houndmouth, Jason Isbell, The Lone Bellow) as well as a few that ended up becoming some of best finds of the year (San Fermin, Apache Relay, … More Live Music Lou does Shaky Knees: 2015 edition
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.

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
Monday night’s show was a long time coming… we had a needed break from the daily grind of school plus Fitz And The Tantrums were in town. (NB: This time, we assisted a friend in calling in to WFPK for tickets and with our magic influence, she got a pair to join us- apparently we’re … More Fitz And The Tantrums dance party
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
