Rebirth Brass Band
With the post-New Years Eve brain fog lifting and the overdue winter chill blanketing the city, it’s time to start turning our attention to all that 2012 has in store. Before Carnival season really heats up in February, right off the bat in the new year, visits to the city by old favorites (B.B. King and Willie Nelson), up-and-comers (Alabama Shakes, Cass McCombs and STRFKR) and the familiar local faces (Soul Rebels Brass Band record release party and an end-of-the-month appearance of psychedelic jazz outfit NESLORT) highlight a month of music in the Crescent City. Hope you had a Happy New Year, we look forward to bringing you all the live music news, reviews, photos and chatter that’s fit to print.
The stars have aligned, the music gods smile upon us and a wealth of great Americana, folk, and classic-inspired groove rock is headed our way this Thursday when one of the greatest bands on Earth (Dr. Dog) and a fiery band of folksters (Felice Brothers) team up for a twin killing at Tipitina’s alongside Quiet Life. As has been the case with so many great indie-leaning shows this fall, Tulane’s WTUL station is behind the curtain on this one and are teaming up with the venue to co-promote this monster show that so many have been looking forward to all fall.
Galactic was the band everyone came to see and the room was expectedly packed with people. I was lucky enough to have my buddy Brent in attendance, and he brought his audio recording equipment. We used my new clamp to mount his video camera to his mic stand, allowing us to have two HD video cameras running for the entire performance. On top of that, I shot a few videos near the front with my iphone4. Three cameras + Galactic’s light show = !!!
Rebirth Brass Band recently rolled through Chicago and played some new club out in Evanston, IL. I had never heard of Space but the room looks tight and well worth seeing a show at. Chris Monaghan shot the band while they were rockin’ the suburbs and he sent this gallery our way. READ MORE

Festival announcement season is in full swing around the Internets, and you can add another Florida festival to the list. Even though the event isn’t happening until November, the Bear Creek Music and Art Festival has announced its 2010 lineup. The festival takes place November 12-14 at Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, the same spot as the Wanee Music Festival.
In fact, if you think of the Wanee Music festival as Florida’s big “Southern Rock” music fest (w/ the Allman Brothers Band, WSP, etc…), then you might consider Bear Creek to be Wanee’s funky counterpart, with the likes of Ivan Neville, Lettuce, Soulive, and George Porter in the top slots. Either way, it’s good to see a few solid Florida fests sticking it out through a tough economy (RIP Langerado).
