Subway Sessions: Donavon Frankenreiter
6 DecIt’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Donavon Frankenreiter and his music so I just had to share this. Donavon recently performed in the NYC subway station on Lexington/63rd as part of Subway Sessions. I had not heard of Subway Sessions before this and quite frankly think it’s wicked cool; plus great artists like Matt Costa and Damian Kulash of OK Go have also performed as part of the initiative. More than anything, mad props to Thomas McAulay, Sam Spar, and Matt Pelosi for creating Subway Sessions and finding yet a way to share music with the people. To me music is the one thing that can always put me in a good mood no matter what and this is just another way to share the good vibes all around.
Viva Las Vegas – A Plethora Of Live Music This Week
6 DecIt’s only Monday and I’m really excited about the music week ahead in Las Vegas. One of my favorite bands of all time, The Black Crowes, is returning to Las Vegas on Friday evening to play The Joint. I’ve seen the fellas more than a handful of times live and this one is going to be bittersweet as it’s also part of their farewell tour. More than anything I’m thrilled about going to a real rock and roll concert filled with two sets of damn good music. This is also a show that I know I’ll be getting there for the opening act as Truth & Salvage Co. will be gracing the stage and they are definitely a band you want to be listening to.
While The Black Crowes are my top music priority for the week in Las Vegas, Passion Pit plays the House of Blues, Temper Trap invades the Hard Rock Café on The Strip and Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds return to Planet Hollywood for two nights of acoustic euphoria. The only damper on the insane week of live music is scheduling and knowing shows overlap and I won’t get to all of them.
Here’s one of my favorite Crowes songs. Going to miss seeing these guys live.
Fitz & The Tantrums on Striped Down Live
3 DecThe last month my music world has been turned upside down with my discovery of Fitz & The Tantrums. I wish I would have known about them sooner because I’m addicted to their album and earlier this week they joined Curt Smith (Tears For Fears) on his program Stripped Down Live. If you’re digging the music or have yet to discover Fitz & The Tantrums, be sure to watch this video and hear how good they are and also get some history of the band.

New Music: The Killers – “Boots”
1 DecWow, I can’t believe its December already but with that comes some great new music. For now the fifth year in a row, The Killers have released a Christmas track with all proceeds going to benefit RED (Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa). This year’s tune is “Boots” and it’s a really great song with some simple yet very meaningful lyrics. Take a listen below and if you like, go purchase it on iTunes or Amazon.
Also if you follow this link to Starbucks’ website and watch the official “Boots” video which was directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), the coffee company will donate five cents for each view. I promise it will be worth it and every click counts so please share with your friends and family as well.
