British punk rock band Palma Violets stage a return to Philadelphia tonight with a show at Johnny Brenda's . The South London-bred four-piece is touring in support of their debut album 180 , named for a venue in Lambeth, London where the band got its start. To get a sense of their raucously wild live show, check out a recap of Palma Violet's SXSW house party here . Tickets and information for tonight's 21+ show with The Orwells can be found here . Watch their Beatles-esque video for "Last of [...]
Country music staple Hayes Carll will be passing through Sellerville Theater tonight, along with opening act Warren Hood & the Goods. Carll hasn’t released a new record since 2011’s KMAG YOYO, but that hasn’t stopped him from touring as much as he can. The Texan singer/song-writer will take his rootsy country tunes down the east coast before playing a handful of shows in his home state. You never know when an act like this will be coming back around, so don’t miss your chance to see this award-winning country crooner in the lovely Sellersville Theater. [...]
Friday Cheers kicked off the summer concert season on Friday and it couldn't have been a better day for a show. Perfect weather. Amazing crowd. And two phenomenal artists played sets that got the crowd going. Three years ago, I wrote a post called "Why Friday Cheers Sucks" and after this show, I took everything I said back. This series has really stepped it up and it's going to be a great set of shows coming this summer. For the Artist Confidential video series, which I'm helping to produce, we got to interview Hayes Carll , who [...]
The summer concert season kicks off this week with the first Friday Cheers show featuring indie folk duo Shovels and Rope and singer/songwriter Hayes Carll . Shovels and Rope, composed of husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, has been entertaining crowds since its 2012 album “O' Be Joyful,” was released and quickly became a favorite among the indie music scene. Inspired by the likes of Woody Guthrie, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan and the songs of Johnny Cash and June Carter, Shovels and [...]

Shows in record stores can be kind of a weird thing at times. They can most often be very cool things as well, but yeah, also definitely weird at times. I've written before about how it can be a bit of an odd experience from the viewpoint of an attendee, but as Texan singer-songwriter Hayes Carll can attest, it's probably even stranger from the perspective of the performer. Carll was made acutely aware of the strangeness of his situation when one store patron began browsing the DVD shelves during his set. Now this is [...]
At last, the promise we've always seen in John Fullbright is signed, sealed, delivered, and certified in his first full-length studio album, From the Ground Up. Having seen Fullbright solo and d... Continue reading "John Fullbright Growls Like Hayes Carll, Or Vice Versa" >

True Romance By Taylor K. Long This Valentine's Day, enjoy this collection of a handful of my favorite "love songs" and songs about love. Whether you are part of a duo or flying solo-remember this piece of advice: I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say,"That's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too. You can download the entire mix, here, or [...]
I do love me some Squidbillies . In fact, I love everything about the show except that it's on in the middle of the night when my old ass is hard at slumber. Anyway, if you're a fan of the show, you know damn well that the music is dazzling. And not only do you get twisted original songs performed by the show's voice talent (Unknown Hinson anyone?), but the creators have somehow managed to wrangle more than their fair share of bona fide musical celebs over the years, including such [...]
