Well, Brandi Carlile always rocks – and today she got to rock it with the Boston Pops and some spectacular arrangements at the Life Is Good Festival in Canton, MA. Missed #LIGfest last year, went one day this year. Next year will not miss a minute. And photos don’t do justice to the woman who ... Share on Facebook
Who: Nicole Reynolds When the Magic Happened: Monday, April 25th, 2011 Speakeasy under Local 121, Providence, RI She was the opening act for Chris Pureka, and I didn’t know anything about her at all. Nicole Reynolds. She was milling about the dark but glamorous basement venue, pint sized, modest and humbly dressed. Her voice on ... Share on Facebook
Monday, April 25th, 2011 – 8PM Speakeasy under Local 121, Providence, RI The kick-off of the spring/summer tour schedule of folk troubador Chris Pureka. An enthusiastic, packed-house gathered to give the gift of their attention – and they were rewarded with a soulful set of music that kept their eyes on the front of the ... Share on Facebook
I don’t know what rock I was hiding under, but the addicting sights and sounds of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals didn’t make it onto my radar until last month, just a week before their headline show in Providence, RI, at Lupo’s. I don’t usually like to compare one musician to another, but in this ... Share on Facebook
NYC. Fri. Oct 1. 2010. Gotcha Music Series. If you missed the show, you can hear select tracks from Gotcha Music Series artists on our podcast. Note to photographers: When the lighting makes everyone look green, set your camera to black and white! Much better. Less fussing later. Enjoy! Share on Facebook Share on Facebook
Screaming Females at Maxwell’s NJ on August 13. 2010. What you can’t see in this photo is what I had to do to get it… pushing back a frenzied group of crowd surfers, defending my post against a photographer with far better gear than mine, remembering why you should never wear open toed shoes to ...

For me, George Wein’s Newport Folk Festival was all about catching Brandi Carlile live. Her self-titled debut album is still one of my favorites, and one of those albums where I like every song, I never have the urge to turn it off or skip a track. And by the looks of her 2010 tour ...

… Kaleidoscope Heart is a song she performed for us at tonight’s Lilith Fair in Hartford, CT. It’s from a CD by the same name that is releasing on September 7th. She treated us to her better known song “Love Song”, but her new music is fresh and original. I particularly liked a comedy song ... Share on Facebook
Lilith Fair, Hartford, CT. August 1, 2010. I admit, I know a few tunes by Cat Power that I like, but other than that have never dug deeper to learn any more about her. As the third act on the main stage for Lilith Fair, I was surprised that she had a very lethargic demeanor ... Share on Facebook
Lilith Fair, Hartford, CT. August 1, 2010 Usually, I don’t care for covers from my favorite original music acts. But in this case… the implied comedy and the choreographed band moves, including the lift at the end, were a perfectly comedic and engaging end to the first act of the main stage for the evening. ...

I love how well she can cast a bull-figher-themed video; I love how if you close your eyes you’d...
Etta James, RIP. She was badass from beginning to end. We should all be so lucky to be so...
