And as long as the weather cooperates, which for the most part it did this year, it is in a beautiful setting at the base of [...]

The musical highlights for me can be summed up like this…Sharon Jones and Michael Franti. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have such [...]

This is the first in a new series here at the Live Music Blog. I’ve tried to write conventional reviews of a show and it just doesn’t work for me. When I’m covering a show, my focus is on capturing the visuals. I’m not usually making notes on setlists and the like. My passion is [...]

This past weekend, Widespread Panic rolled into northern Manhattan — Washington Heights to be exact — for two shows at the United Palace.

Drive-By Truckers @ Terminal 5, New York 3/26/08

Photo Galleries

The last Drive-by Truckers show I saw was their stellar Dirt Underneath performance at Bowery Ballroom (photos here). I was stationed front and center for one of the best concerts I saw all year. They were more powerful, unplugged, than most any other band turned up to eleven. That was in October. Last Wednesday night [...]
