Last Friday, I saw the duo of Brandon Ross and Stomu Takeishi at Firehouse 12 in New Haven. I frequently make the trek down there these days to see interesting looking jazz acts. This is the third time I've seen Ross, including with his great...
music notes
I was very happy to see Big Thief at the MGM at Fenway in Boston this week. I had seen Adrienne Lenker twice before solo, once totally by herself at.
I was super pumped to see Tropical Fuck Storm play in Somerville, Massachusetts recently. They are an Australian band that I guess splits the difference between punk and hard rock.
I've seen two shows recently. I'm going to talk about one this week and one next week. I saw The Tubs play at Deep Cuts in Medford, Massachusetts on September 28. This was a lot of fun. The Tubs, as I have stated when describing...
OK, sure, this was the 8th time I've seen Mary Halvorson play and this was the 3rd of those times that it was her Amaryllis band. Does that mean I.

I was supposed to see John Moreland last week. But he cancelled for some reason at the last second. I was very sad. I hope he's alright. However, I did see Emmylou Harris last Thursday in Lowell, Massachusetts (of all places). It was my 2nd...
A couple of weeks ago, I saw my 33rd Drive By Truckers show in New Haven, with Deer Tick and Thelma and the Sleaze opening. A bit about all three.

Not going to be around to discuss much this week til later, as I am presently at Newport Folk Festival. This week was devoted to music films. I saw three. The first is the big one--I finally saw A Complete Unknown, James Mangold's Dylan biopic...
I was so lucky to get to see Swamp Dogg in Portland last weekend. Actually, no. That doesn't sell it. I got to see Swamp Dogg in Portland on his.
Time to talk some tunes. I've seen two shows in the last two weeks. One was Natalia Lafourcade, the Mexican cancion singer, at the Shubert Theater in Boston. I really.
