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
Rye describes their Back Porch Sessions as “a free summer concert series intending to expose local artists and create a place for the community to gather around food and music.” With Hi-Five Doughnuts on hand, egg tacos on the menu, and stellar bartenders keeping the crowd hydrated, the description was on point Thursday night. Last … More Back porch jams and shaky floors
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
The Derby festival shows, featured alongside the feasts at the Chow Wagon, are not something that we’ve partaken in before this year. However, the tracks WFPK had debuted, along with Kyle Meredith‘s interview, spoke to us about Genevieve’s talent and we felt compelled to attend her Waterfront show. The performance started later than advertised (perfect for … More Genevieve shows her colors for KDF Waterfront Jam
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
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
A weekend night with multiple stops is becoming a common occurrence for this duo. Throw in a quarter century celebration and we most definitely will be gallivanting around the city. First stop: Bermuda Highway continues to impress crowds with the caliber of Louisville-established acts they are bringing through their doors. The show was well advertised but a large … More A stacked night for 25
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
