Around the blogosphere today, I am tripped out on the following rock-a-toids: - Singer-guitarist Dylan Connor , whose music sounds fresh, orchestral in parts and rockin' pop all around - Take a listen at his MySpace page or check out his snappin' video for Breakaway and Burn , featuring cool Burning Man footage. He also has a pretty cool wedding video , too! His press folks also wrote... "Touring the Northeast throughout February and March, Connor is supporting both Breakaway Republic, and his ultimate tribute to Weezer, the Almost [...]
I've posted various covers on the blog before but recently I seem to be coming across so many new ones that really deserve cover age! Recently a couple very good covers compilation albums have dropped; 'Dark Was the Night' being one of them organized by The National for the good cause of aids. The other one is 'Starbucks: Sweetheart' which was unsurprisingly compiled by Starbucks and instead of the money [...]
I've been looking for an excuse to post a bunch of Motown covers, but I've struggled with finding a story. Then I saw that Popmatters posted it's 25 favorites . I agree with some of their choices, but "Bernadette" as #1? I agree with some of their choices, but "Bernadette"? That wouldn't even make my top 20. Plus, the list seems flawed because it includes songs from the label's Los Angeles period (1972 and on), when everyone knows the true meaning of Motown is "Motor City." Once the label left Detroit, it's sound [...]
After closing out 2008 with his hit single "Rock & Roll" in the #1 spot at AAA radio, Eric Hutchinson just kicked off 2009 with a performance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and now he's set to go on two tours. His outing with O.A.R. launches this Thursday in Spokane, WA and he just finalized plans to tour with G. Love & Special Sauce thereafter. (See below for itinerary.) Watch "Rock & Roll" video : [...]
Eric Hutchinson released his latest album, Sounds Like This , this past May. The album can easily be classified as a pop-rock-folk style that has been proven time and time again to please the public. In September of this year, Hutchinson was awarded the "VH1 You Oughta Know" award of 2008. Obviously, this is a clear sign of his growing fame. On Sounds Like This , all of his major influences can be heard. The most profound influence that the listener can hear in every one of his songs is [...]
Live in Cambridge: Red Hot and Sold Out If you don't already have tickets to see Eric Hutchinson this evening at the Middle East , put your car keys back in your pocket and warm up your CD player. This one is completely sold out - and that's probably the only way you are going to hear him today. Maybe the RSL Music Blog can help - [...]
That's right; tonight you're getting three for one! Contrary to what you might think, I'm not all about big names and high-profile artists who sell millions of records and are all over the Internet. I also love indie artists. In fact the music is all that matters. Sometimes I (virtually) bump into songs, albums or videos from either unsigned or not-yet famous bands or solo acts. I like that so much. This morning for example, I woke up and found a friend request on my Facebook page from [...]
Eric Hutchinson Makes Rock And Roll Sushi While in Los Angeles on tour with Jack's Mannequin , Eric Hutchinson took some time out to visit a sushi restaurant to find out exactly how to make Rock & Roll sushi. Hutchinson's album Sounds Like This is out now which features the infections single " Rock & Roll ." Check out the video blog below:
I'm an old fart now. But in 1980, I turned ten. So the years 1980-1989 where the ones where most of my musical preferences were formed. It was when I started forming opinions of my own. And as you can imagine, I had a lot of them. And I was always right. Prior to buying my first record—Pink Floyd's The Wall—I had been listening to my parents' rock records: The Mamas and the Papas, The Beatles, and a little Tom Hall. Now, lots of folks slam the '80s for making sterile, redundant, meaningless [...]

(design by Joe) So the big news around these parts: Coconut Joe is taking early retirement from his 9-5, packing up his Weber mando and moving from Princeton to Minnesota. In honor of that, I have compiled a punch of songs with "over" in the title – as his job, as this chapter in his life is over. As for Coconut & The Duke , we will continue to work on our debut album " In The Bamboo Forests Of Pennsylvania " in a Postal Service type way. Instead of mailing tapes back [...]

Editor's Note: I sat down with Eric Hutchinson during his last tour through Boston this Summer. He was appearing at the Roxy with Missy Higgins. We spent about a half-hour together and the experience proved to be a good one. Eric was an easy-going interview. Since we spoke Eric had a song appear in a motion picture, he has played before thousands of more fans on the road and he even appeared on Light Night with David Letterman. Hutchinson's songs are funky, witty soul-filled affairs. He is [...]

About two years ago, I was sitting on a plane to Florida about to tear my hair out when my sister tosses me her headphones and tells me I have to listen to "this guy Eric Hutchinson". Since I didn't have anything better to do I took her word for it and listened. I was immediately transformed into a Hutchhead and to this day I cannot stop listening to Eric Hutchinson who was just recently plucked from obscurity and signed to Warner Brothers Records. When infamous celebrity blogger Perez Hilton "discovered" Hutchinson and wrote about the singer [...]

Eric Hutchinson has had the most response from my friends this year of any band I've introduced. Every time I casually slip his disc into my car or home stereo, I automatically get the "who the hell is this and why don't I have this on any of my mixes you made me" response. Don't get me wrong, I love this guy. But, I guess I overlook him often when making mixes or, as we can see here, blogging. Eric [...]
I'm back from vacation, and fully rested.... Or I was until I started back to work. I had hoped for a slow and gentle easing back into the flow this week. What I got was a full on deluge of work. Holiday?.....what holiday? Still, this weekend is a Bank Holiday here in the UK so I get an extra day to rest up this weekend then it's the big push towards Christmas. September to December are traditionally my busiest periods. Long [...]
