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
We will never shy away from an Instagram contest for tickets, so thanks to Living Room Series for hooking us up with seats to the sold out Neutral Milk Hotel show. For the Iroquois Amphitheater’s first show of the season, a rainy and cold one at that, the turn out and support for Neutral Milk Hotel … More Never question free tickets or a second stop
We reviewed Winter Wednesdays this season, and while those have certainly been on the rise, it’s amazing to me how big Waterfront Wednesdays have been getting over the last few years. We haven’t lived in Louisville since the inception of this free concert series (would have loved to have seen Dawes in 2010!), but even … More Starting Waterfront Wednesday season off on the right note
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
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
For the final Winter Wednesday of the 2014-15 season, WFPK called in two sets that brought a capacity crowd to the Clifton Center. Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, opening band the Soil & the Sun offered a change of pace from the other Winter Wednesday openers this year. The seven-piece band is able to produce … More WFPK strays from the usual for final Winter Wednesday
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
It is unbelievable that we have already made it to the second to last WFPK Winter Wednesday of the season- thankfully, it appears these cold, dreary months are flying by because of how busy we have been. The line-up for this month included local artist Joan Shelley and Matthew Ryan. We have talked a lot about … More More local talent on display at January’s Winter Wednesday
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
I caught a glimpse of Steelism at the July Waterfront Wednesday this year as they opened up for Ben Sollee, but as you all know by now, timing can be a bit of an issue, so I wasn’t able to see them play a full set. We made up for that this past Friday, thanks … More Steelism delivers instrumental set at Zbar
