It seems like I have been on a huge My Morning Jacket kick since I first saw them at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2003. Then, their epic performance in the pouring rain the following year made me a real die hard fan. They seemed to etch their names into fame through the Bonnaroo vehicle… Continue reading My Morning Jacket "Evil Urges" Tour
Michael Falzarano is like a hidden hand, we’ve all heard his music, but many would be surprised by his musical resume. So it might be helpful to start with Michael’s past in order to explain how his new album came to be. For over 35 years Falzarano has been a member of some of the… Continue reading New Album Review: Michael Falzarano | 'We Are All One'
Another Friday night in Downtown Boulder, CO. It was one of the biggest crowds I’d seen lately at the Boulder Theater, the kind where once you’re in, you’re only getting out again at the expense of your standing room – it would be filled by someone else when you get back. I felt extremely lucky… Continue reading Cold War Kids Heat Up The Boulder Theater
I hope that you and I have something in common. I hope, like me, you have a few events in your life, maybe a handful even, that are unique. Not unique because they only happened to you, like that time your Aunt Rosemary pinched your ass as you walked by her at Easter Brunch. You… Continue reading Richie Havens | The Higher Ground | 9/28/08
At last….the rumors can be put to rest, as Phish announce their triumphant reunion and return to the road. The group officially stated on their website yesterday they will be performing a three-night run at one of their favorite venues, the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia. The shows will take place March 6th-8th of 2009, with more dates… Continue reading The Return of Phish
It’s a fucked up world out there, and lately it seems to be getting worse by the day. The economy is crashing, the war seems never-ending, and Washington D.C. seems as silly and out of touch as ever. Maybe I’m more obsessive than most, more indignant too perhaps, but if you’re like me, I recommend… Continue reading Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers get up-close & personal in Boulder
When Phish broke up the first and second time, there was a large void left in my life. Yours too, otherwise you probably wouldn’t be reading this article. As I’ve eluded to in past reviews, the nomadic nature instilled in me by that foursome from the north lead me on many a fruitless, and sometimes… Continue reading Porter, Batiste & Stoltz with Page McConnell | The Higher Ground | 9/27/08
“The show is tonight, not tomorrow.” A statement like this one can upend your day and, for me, it did. Mere inches away from walking onto the ferry that would take me back to New York; I fielded a call from my incredibly observant wife. “Sonya Kitchell and The Slip are playing tonight at The Higher Ground, not tomorrow.”… Continue reading Sonya Kitchell with The Slip | The Higher Ground | 9.25.08
Fans of Phish have been excited to receive a handful of official show releases over the past year, not to mention a bunch of great downloads and even a DVD concert. Each one has given the listener a look back at the band at certain periods in their history, and reminds them just how incredible… Continue reading Phish | Lucerna Theater | Prague, Czech Republic | 7/6/98
September 4th, 2008, Boulder Theater Family. Joyfulness. Community. Gettin’ Down! These five words completely detail, although briefly, the majority of my experiences from the past Sound Tribe Sector 9 weekend. Thursday started with a burst, instead of a bang. Arigato to open grabbed many’s attention and people quickly filed into spots they would more than… Continue reading Sound Tribe Sector 9 Three Night Electro Extravaganza
