New Music: GIVERS – In Light

I’ve been very much awaiting today’s new music Tuesday for In Light, the debut release from GIVERS. I first discovered the Louisiana group when I heard “Up Up Up,” and instantly became a fan. The five piece indie rock group spread the good vibes with happy music and In Light is on tap to be the perfect soundtrack for the summer.

So get out and support GIVERS, you won’t be disappointed. And if you’re attending Bonnaroo, don’t miss their set!

Also, a tip of the hat to Glassnote Records; another great band added to the growing list of insane talent on one label. All I want to know now is, when is there going to be a Glassnote Festival?!

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 2 Days – Artist of the Day: Widespread Panic

7 Jun

“An honest tune with a lingering lead has taken me this far;” those are the first lyrics I knew of Widespread Panic thanks to my brother and I haven’t looked back. 11 studio recordings, 8 live records and 25 years later, the rock band from Athens, Georgia are regarded as one of the most iconic jam bands of all time. And as the final artist slated to rock Bonnaroo, it seems fitting the band that headlined the inaugural festival 10 years ago gets to close out this year with what is sure to be an epic performance. If this is in fact the final tour as people are speculating, what a ride it has been.

New Music: O.A.R. – “Heaven”

7 Jun

I love new music Tuesday and today is a great one as O.A.R. release “Heaven,” the first single off their upcoming album King. Thrilled the fellas are back with not only a great new song but their seventh studio album which drops August 2. Check out THIS link for the making of King.

And if you find yourself in Vegas this weekend, check them out at Red Rock Casino, performing quasi-poolside.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 3 Days – Artist of the Day: Warren Haynes

6 Jun

Arguably one of the most talented musicians around, Warren Haynes is simply an ace in the hole; whether it be fronting Gov’t Mule, jamming with the Allman Brothers Band, pulling double duty with The Dead or riding solo (among too many more collaborations to list) you are in for a thrilling ride seeing him live. Relentless touring and righteous jamming has made Haynes not only a commodity in the music industry but a legend among fans. That sweet southern rock sound will be one of the Bonnaroo 10^th Anniversary highlights.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 6 Days – Artist of the Day: Arcade Fire

3 Jun

Since winning a Grammy for Album of the Year with Suburbs, Arcade Fire has been spreading like a wildfire as headliners for just about every festival in 2011, an honor that is well deserved. The first time I ever heard Arcade Fire was at VEGOOSE in 2005 after they had release Funeral (which was nominated for a Grammy) and I remember being impressed but not knowing too much. This year at Bonnaroo I am well aware and can’t wait to see the performance which should be an epic one for sure.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 7 Days – Artist of the Day: The Black Keys

2 Jun

Here we go, one week from today the 10^th Anniversary of Bonnaroo commences. The best thing to come out of Akron isn’t Lebron James but The Black Keys. It took a while but Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney finally hit it big with last year’s Brothers and have been riding a high since. I’ve seen the duo twice already this year and the gritty rock riffs from Auerbach and Carney’s wailing on the drums left me craving more both times.

Revisited: Little Hurricane – 5 28 11 – Las Vegas

31 May

Last weekend I had the opportunity to check out San Diego based Little Hurricane at Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan. In the fairly short amount of time I had listened to their music prior I was impressed but after seeing CC and Tone live, I’m now a huge fan. Their sound of dirty blues/rock just works and I can’t picture the music with more than just the duo on stage. Between Tone’s raw voice and skills on the slide guitar and CC providing solid beats (and also easy on the eyes), Little Hurricane are a force to be reckoned with. Big things are in their future, get onboard now; pick up their album Homewrecker while you’re at it and see them live.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 9 Days – Artist of the Day: Robert Plant & Band of Joy

31 May

Oh what a day it is, we are single digit days away from Bonnaroo!

Robert Plant, the name says it all. As vocalist for one of the greatest rock outfits every formed, Plant is not only an icon in the world of music but still going strong and pumping out new tunes. Touring with his current Band of Joy consisting of Patti Griffin, Buddy Miller, Darrell Scott, Byron House and Marco Giovino, the festival stage should be rocking with this talented group of musicians. Also with Alison Krauss performing at Bonnaroo as well, I’d say chances are likely the duo who won Album of the Year at the 2009 Grammy Awards have a little something planned.

Now if you are around my age, you never had the chance to see Led Zeppelin live (one of those bands on a short list of if I could see any band/artist today) but the opportunity to see and hear the voice and lyricist who helped pave a soundtrack to my music influences, I’ll take that any day.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 12 Days – Artist of the Day: Ray LaMontagne

28 May

To this day, Ray LaMontagne’s debut disc, Trouble, is by far one of my favorites of all time. Now four discs, a Grammy and a little over decade after his journey into the world of music, the gifted singer-songwriter brings his sweet sound to Bonnaroo. If you haven’t yet had the chance to hear LaMontagne’s raspy voice live, it is a must for every music aficionado.
