photo by Caitlin Mirete We've got a sweet list of shows this week, just in time for Valentine's Day. First, Gary Clark Jr. brings his smooth Austin sounds to a sold-out Crocodile tonight. On Tuesday, you can take your valentine to a great show at Neptune Theatre with Dr. Dog . On Thursday, the highly anticipated (and sold out!) Little Big Show is at the Neptune with local favorites Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty , and the Constant Lovers are at Comet Tavern with guests Blood Orange Paradise, Baltic Cousins, [...]
Laura J Martin - The Hangman Tree By Steve McGillivray The first thing I noticed when I picked up Laura J Martin 's debut album was the collaborative tracks featured on the album. I'd say that they can be a fair reflection of what's about to come, without playing the record or having heard any of it previously - when Euros Childs and Buck 65 are two collaborators you know it's going to be something interesting. This is piqued even further when you see Martin's varied influences including Wu [...]
Problem with Jan/ Feb releases is that they usually are forgotten by the end of the year. Not this one. We already fell in love with Québecoise singer Marie-Pierre Arthur after discovering her on Buck 65 's brilliant 20 Odd Years and her first, self-titled solo effort featuring the lovely folk-pop gem Pourquoi in 2011. Her brand new album, Aux Alentours, features finest eclectic fille pop all the way, combining shades of 70s glam rock, intricate touches of 80s dream pop and glimpses of retro attitude: Her voice encompasses the raw and the smooth perfectly, [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Joel Sage, AFP/Getty Images If a cover is the highest compliment one songwriter can bestow upon another, then few songwriters command as much respect as Leonard Cohen . It seems like thousands of artists have interpreted his work, especially his signature late-career song 'Hallelujah' which Cohen once told the CBC could use "a break." With the release of ' Old Ideas [...]

BUCK 65 "Superstars Don't Love" from Travis Hopkins on Vimeo .
Buck 65 - Live late-night, curb-side acapella in Boston // This past Sunday, the self-titled "what's-his-face of rap" opened up his first set with Gee Whiz , accompanied by the sultry nonchalance that exudes from Marnie Herald 's vocals. Buck 65 is a Nova Scotian poet. He was born Richard Terfry; he was born a performer. Imagine if Tom Waits and Johnny Cash had a love child under the Zulu Nation. Throw in a combination of Chaplin-esque and Talking Heads choreography, and you begin to scratch [...]

Filed under: Music Appreciation Steve Thorne, Redferns | Emily Terfry Part of the fun of music festivals if you're a band on the bill is catching the other performers. It's usually only at these gigs that touring musicians can find time to watch another act shine. And at last week's Festival d'été in Quebec City, Metallica 's James Hetfield did just that, taking in a show by Canadian rapper Buck 65 . According to Toronto [...]
Buck 65 (ft Jenn Grant) - Paper Airplane
Filed under: News , Exclusive Emily Terfry Buck 65 has been playing music for over 20 years. That's a heavy milestone not only for a hip-hop musician, but especially a white Canadian rapper who doesn't fit tightly into the scene or genre. Music, however, was actually the rapper's second-choice career. Originally, the Halifax-born rapper and CBC Radio 2 DJ (born Rich Terfry) had his sights set on major league baseball. And it wasn't [...]

After a Monday off, Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest was up and ready on July 12th. It was a good day for music. Mostly in the rock category and one rap/hip-hop act. The acts that I saw were: Doll Laurent Bourque Protest The Hero Dana Fuchs Three Days Grace Ian Kelly Buck 65 [...]
Toronto - Today, at approximately 2 PM, The Polaris Prize shortlist for 2011 will be announced. Some fans will rejoice while others will be left in bitter agony. It's an exciting time for Canadian music right now, and this years nominees represent the ever growing presence of Canadian music throughout the world. With that in mind, here are the ten bands that I believe will be on the short list. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs Duh. Arcade Fire took on the world last year and won. Plus, all the voters probably [...]
Canada Day is much more than our country's birthday. For as long as I can remember, it has been a great excuse to get out and enjoy some of the outstanding music emanating from the "Great White North." It seems like every city and town across Canada has a festival going on that you'd kill to be at; there are way too many to list, but it would appear that even newlyweds Will and Kate would agree with this. After all, they took in the annual extravaganza on Parliament Hill in Ottawa as [...]
