House of Blues just unveiled their annual late night Jazz Fest schedule and once again it is slam-packed with familiar festival favorites, a few newcomers, and a couple of spectacular second weekend Superjams up in the friendlier, darker and tinier confines of the Parish Room.

The overriding WOW(!) factor that jumped out most when the 2012 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival lineup was released was the caliber of both the newer and established female artists in the lineup. This year the Jazz Fest organizers hit the nail on the head with their attention to the amazing array of new [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-29T18:23:28+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3955871/grace-potters-itunes-session/

As if fighting in the "War On Christmas" isn't stressful enough this time of year, The New Orleans Jazz And Heritage Foundation just released the lineup for the 2012 Jazz Fest, setting off an almost inevitable debate about The Current And Future State Of Music: Local Edition that has become as much of a yearly tradition as the purchase of ridiculous BayouWear leisure shirts adorned with piano keys shaped like fleurs-de-lis (or vice versa). Regardless of whether last night's announcement was a beacon of hope or a harbinger of disaster, we've got ourselves another solid festival on our hands.

Winter, eat your heart out. Austin's annual South by Southwest music festival has been slowly releasing its list of bands traveling to the Lone Star state this Spring and, yes, Chicago is represented. On tap to play the 2012 edition are sunny pop rockers Gold Motel , dancehall DJ Chrissy Murderbot , acoustic folker Musikanto , lo-fi ambient poppers U.S. Girls , and Chicago - by way of Philadelphia - [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-01T22:32:51+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3901587/grace-potter-leaves-guitar-center-with-a-goodbye-kiss/
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Video , Exclusive Douglas Mason/Getty Images The past year has been pretty good for blonde bombshell rocker Grace Potter . After recently winning a CMA Award, the singer was nominated for two Grammys for her duet 'You, Me and Tequila' with cowboy country act Kenny Chesney . And things just keep looking up from there. Known for her leggy performances, shred-worthy [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-01T21:47:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3901518/area-codes-802-burlington-vt/
Given that everyone in Vermont has the same area code - the state's population is only 600,000, after all - I could have easily copped out of spotlighting a single city in Vermont; the small state's fraught with interesting, tight-knit scenes like Brattleboro's punk nucleus and Bennington's folksier inclinations (shouts Mountain Man ). But, Burlington, for its size (40,000, good enough to be the biggest city in the state), is Vermont's unnaturally dense music hub; best known for launching Phish into the world, Burlington's maintained a robust music atmosphere since well before they got big, thanks to the constantly-refreshing [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-14T20:49:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3861586/catherine-popper-to-leave-grace-potter-and-the-nocturnals/
From Cat's Facebook Page "Hey everybody - For the past two and a half years, GPN has been my family away from my family. We've all grown so much together. So it's with sadness that I want y'all to know the Goodnight Irene benefit in VT in September was my last gig with GPN in the foreseeable future. It was a bittersweet night, to be sure, and we had a kind farewell as they left to go make a new record. I'm a lucky so-and-so to have been a part of that crew for as long as I [...]]]> text/html 2011-10-13T01:21:21+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3786200/grace-potter-the-nocturnals-cover-zz-top/
Recently some great musicians got together to make a tribute album for the great american rock group, ZZ Top entitled, ZZ Top A Tribute From Friends .

Photo by Jim Rinaldi Grace Potter has inarguably transformed her appearance and musical style over the past few years. In the spring of 2005, Potter (along with her backing band, The Nocturnals) independently released her debut album, Nothing But The Water . Not long after, GP&N signed to Hollywood Records, which released the band's sophomore effort, This Is Somewhere . At that time, Potter was still a bohemian brunette from Vermont. Then she met T-Bone Burnett. The music-industry mogul produced GP&Ns most recent album (self-titled as a declaration of the bands fresh new image) [...]]]> text/html 2011-09-23T16:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3741863/this-weekends-concert-picks-popped-music-festival-philly-fm-festival/

"Potter is that ball of fire that we see when she performs. She's that flurry of hair and glitter. She lives for the rush, but she's even more the woman who can't believe any of it is really happening to her. You get the feeling that she's still that girl trying to make it and, no matter how big any of it ever gets, she'll not take any of it for granted."

Lolla's 20th anniversary was my sixth straight, having attended every year since it expanded to three days in Chicago's gorgeous Grant Park. In those six years I've had some amazing times, and experienced a mass of great music. It all began in 2006, arriving to The Raconteurs covering Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," and from then on, I *had* to be there. The next year in 2007, Daft Punk flew in on their pyramid of light, the year after that, Wilco donned their Sgt. Pepper-inspired threads in 2008, heck, I even got to see Lou Reed play "Sweet Jane" in [...]]]> text/html 2011-08-18T12:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3658726/the-swag-report-70/
