Countdown to Bonnaroo: 7 Days – Artist of the Day: ALO

30 May

I love ALO, plain and simple.  Their live shows are some of the most entertaining rock concerts around and with Zach Gill at the helm; you never know what may happen.  What’s even more exciting for anyone attending Bonnaroo, you will have not one, but THREE chances to see this incredibly talented band!

If you’re a Jack Johnson fan you should already be familiar with ALO and most likely are a big fan like I am.  If you’ve ever heard the song “Girl, I Wanna Lay You Down,” you should do a little more listening to find there are a ton of great songs just like that one from the quartet.  Personally if you are just getting into ALO I suggest listening to Roses & Clover.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 9 Days – Artist of the Day: Gary Clark Jr.

28 May

And here we are, the home stretch to Bonnaroo!  I hope and pray you all know who Gary Clark Jr. is by now.  I remember when he was a Café Artist last year and a relative unknown even though Eric Clapton had already invited him to perform at his Crossroads Music Festival in 2010.  Earlier this year he joined B.B. King and Co. who performed at the White House for President Barack Obama.  Add in the comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and I don’t think I need to say any more.  The kid is a wonder and has been rapidly rising to the top as a force in the music industry.  I encourage everyone to check out a slice of music rich Austin, Texas.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 12 Days – Artist of the Day: Trampled by Turtles

25 May

Talk about a buzz that won’t stop, Trampled by Turtles have been on fire this year! In addition to taking the festival world by storm, the bluegrass band made their late night TV debut earlier this spring on David Letterman. Fresh on the heels of releasing their sixth album, Stars and Satellites, which is their most grown-up work to date, Rooers will get two opportunities to see the Minnesotans show their stuff.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 14 Days – Artist of the Day: Hey Rosetta!

23 May

Say hello to another Canadian act you should be excited to check out, Hey Rosetta!. While the band has been together for more than half a dozen years and have three albums out, the Newfoundland sextuplet are a relatively new act to the States and should be primed and ready for a major breakout this summer.  With lead singer Tim Baker at the helm, Hey Rosetta! are a polished group with beautiful harmony, and boast a killer strings section (violin and cello).  So get ready for two killer live music jam sessions taking place at Bonnaroo, and come discover some new music to kick your summer into gear.
