(I have written quite a few reviews of Lucero shows, this is not one of them) The fact that I am in any shape to be writing this ‘play-by-play’ is a testament to good planning. Sure, meticulously mapping out a day of drinking might sound like a total buzzkill, if not a complete waste...

His Drive-By Truckers will be at the Ogden Theatre Friday, March 18th and Saturday, March 19th. You can purchase...

Is Lissie hip in the way Jenny Lewis or Zooey Deschanel are? Or is she more like KT Tunstall and Sheryl Crow, an adult alternative type of cool? Or would she fit in better with the Righteous Babe crew? I asked myself that question as I scanned the crowd at the Bluebird last night...

Last year I got a group of people to go down to the Golden Triangle for the Westword Music Showcase because I wanted to see Built To Spill. When we got down there the rain was so bad we went into the first bar we saw and never left. We didn’t see any live...

The tallest man in the world is over 8ft. call, Kristian Matsson of Dalarna, Sweden is not this man. Even though he performs under The Tallest Man On Earth moniker, this folk-singer stands around 5 1/2 ft. tall. That being said, it doesn’t really matter what he calls himself, because his voice and songwriting...

Teen Dream is the first Beach House album I have been able to get into. And I really, really like it. It’s a dream pop album that plays over and over again in my head when I’m trying to fall asleep at night. But seeing them live is something I wasn’t sure I needed...
