I’m not sure if I’m totally onboard with the execution of this promo video for the upcoming release of Tom Waits’ next album, Bad As Me, due out October 25th. His musical legacy and lifestyle is so masterfully unscripted, that the force fit of a set depresses me – I far prefer the end scenes. ... Share on Facebook
He has the groove. New single out two days ago. Remember – if you like Chicks with Guitars, like our page on facebook or follow us on twitter @chickswguitars. Share on Facebook Share on Facebook
Scene of the crime: Firehouse no. 13, Providence RI – Sat. June 18,2011 Sometimes I like to play musical roulette. Pick a venue, do some quick video research and show up. Sometimes this works out really well and sometimes it doesn’t. This weekend I found myself having this very kind of live music adventure ... Share on Facebook
Speechless. Everything I want from a show was here. Good: music, vocals, song choices, set pacing, lyrics, playing to the audience, costume changes, skinny men, buxom women, costumed characters, performance art sub-narratives, strong graphic visuals, crowd surfing and a whole lot of things I probably missed since I was standing in the balcony and some ...

I can’t believe it was just last week that the movers-n-shakers of the Boston music scene gathered to talk shop – from blogging to direct-to-fan marketing to data management and the reinvention of sheet music. *whew*. Sounds like a lot. It was. Thankfully, a fabulous write up was done by a few of the attendees, ... Share on Facebook
I even to listen this when I’m not with a kid. Secret Agent 23 Skidoo just that awesome. It’s energetic, catchy, positive and well-crafted.

Here’s a random fact for you: Jon Bon Jovi shares a birhday with Coldplay’s Chris Martin. And Dr. Seuss. On the eve of his 49th birthday, I was lucky enough to be among the masses in TD Garden in Boston singing Happy Birthday to a guy from NJ that’s been rocking stages for 28 years ... Share on Facebook
For real. The late great Johnny Cash put out a Children’s album in 1975, which was re-released in 2006. Whether you have a kid and are looking for music you can tolerate, or just need to improve your cocktail-party facts about Johnny, you should definitely know about this. My 4 year old loves the song ... Share on Facebook
Providence, RI. A Friday night last December. A line-up of bands playing at The 201- a venue that during the day looks a bit like your grandfather’s basement bar, open to viewing from the inter-connected Mamma Teresa’s take-out Italian food. The band I went to see was on last (at midnight), but I decided to ... Share on Facebook
The bottom of Dan’s emails always say “Let’s build a community”. And it’s not just talk. He hosts a weekly open mic at the converted-firehouse art center Amazing Things in Framingham, MA – which is where I first met him. He’s got great charisma and welcoming charm. If you’ve ever been to a cold and ... Share on Facebook
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...
