Mother Hips | Moe's Alley | Review/Photos

With a long, arduous 2015 behind him, The Mother Hips‘ cofounding guitarist Tim Bluhm slowly adjusts his seat center stage at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, CA last Friday, February 26.

An adoring crowd greeted Neko Case and the Felice Brothers at House of Blues Boston on Wednesday night.

When Elephant Revival took to the studio in Maine to record their 4th LP – Petals(Thirty Tigers), with Josh Ritter’s long time collaborator and producer Sam Kassirer, it would be the first time doing so without founding member and singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sage Cook.  It would also be the band’s studio introduction of Charlie Rose who stepped… Continue reading Elephant Revival | Petals | Review

Melvin Seals | The Warfield | SF | Review

While the San Francisco Bay Area might have some mighty fine music venues in the present, there are fewer that remain from the city’s bright musical past.  One of the few that’s stood the test of time is The Warfield. Right off of Market Street, adjacent to downtown’s Tenderloin neighborhood, it’s hard to tell the… Continue reading Melvin Seals | The Warfield | SF | Review

Mike Gordon | The Gothic Theatre | Review

Denver was the site of the tour closer for Phish‘s quirky bass player’s solo project.
