Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Getty Images With all the talk about concert ticket prices and attendance during this brutal year for the live music industry, one festival that remains impervious to all of it is Hardly Strictly Bluegrass -- the festival welcomed more than 100,000 attendees last year and a large part of its success, no doubt, is the fact that admission is completely free. No hooks (other than the ones coming from the stages). The [...]
Every year in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, there is a music festival that brings together hundreds of thousands of people and is a proven success - and it's not Outside Lands. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the name, and the free three-day fest is in its 10th year. And judging by the lineup that dropped last night, this may be one of its best years. The names that stand out are frankly shocking gets for a free and ticketless festival: Joan Baez, Elvis Costello and the Sugarcanes, and the Godmother of Punk herself, Patti Smith. Other [...]

Each year as schooldays fade into memory and the summer festival season grows close, my thoughts turn to Dave Carter . An up-and-coming singer-songwriter, already well respected by critics and peers, Carter was on the road with his partner Tracy Grammer in the summer of 2002 when he was stricken down with a heart attack during an early morning run in the New England heat. Their scheduled set at that day's Green River Festival was taken over by Signature Sounds labelmate Mark Erelli with little fanfare. [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive When you can make your guitar "talk" like Peter Frampton did during the sweet jam of 'Do You Feel Like We Do?' on his blockbuster 1976 album 'Frampton Comes Alive,' you've pretty much carved out a place in rock history. Still, this move might have been pretty risky back in the day because, let's face it, telling someone you think guitars "talking" is a logical career move might get you some strange looks. But for Frampton, [...]
I'm a bit under the weather, and so is the sky, dropping branches and rain on the newly-cleared lawn and wreaking havoc on our 'net connection. I've got some great new music to share, and it's burning me up not to be able to bring it out this evening...but under the circumstances, I'm thinking something a little less strenuous might be more apropos. Hope no one minds a repost, from the aftermath of a similar storm two summers ago, with a promise of something more substantive to follow later in the week... [...]

I have been unable to post, while our ten year old computer slowly gave up the ghost. I had to save all of my ideas for our O Canada theme, and put them here . But now we have a new computer, so I’m back. And not a moment too soon.

It is easy to rave about Casey Dienel's voice, which recalls Joni Mitchell's eclectic stylistic arsenal as much as Victoria Legrand's ghostly croon. Even those that do not like her project, White Hinterland, are still enthralled by her voice for a reason. She recalls the classic feel of Mitchell or Joan Baez and gives it [...]
On Tuesday, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Smokey Robinson, John Mellencamp, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and others gathered at the White House for " In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement." And while Mr. Dylan and Ms. Baez didn't actually reunite (ugh), both did perform; the former offered a rendition of "The Times They Are A-Changin’", while the latter reportedly led a sing-a-long of "We Shall Overcome". The whole thing will re-broadcast tonight on PBS at 8PM EST, but, for the sake of your sanity, let us offer an [...]

Sorry, kids, but as you could probably tell, we devoted most of our attention yesterday to Bonnaroo's lineup announcement . [Results still pending.] And while it seemed like most of you joined us for the ride, other people did other stuff, causing other news, all of which are figured we'd recap right now. A poster for Ultra Music Festival 's phase 2 leaked onto the web, and boy, does it look good! Now set to appear at the Miami, FL festival from March 26-27 are the likes of Orbital, Damian Marley & Nas, David [...]
With President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill all sitting front-row center at the White House’s relatively intimate East Room, Bob Dylan took the stage at the first “In Performance at the White House” concert of 2010, which was themed “A Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement.” Whereas gospel singer Yolanda Adams changed the tense in a few lyrics to Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” by singing “a change has come” as a shout-out to President Obama’s ‘08 campaign slogan, Dylan’s lyrics to “The Times They Are [...]
It’s a good week to be a florist. Valentine’s Day is around the corner and roses are selling like a product that actually has some practical value. No, I never quite saw the romance in a present that will make you bleed if you hold it the wrong way. I think this is why no one ever gives me roses. That and the fact that I’m a guy.Sexton Blake - Rose Parade (Elliott Smith)You don't forget the

Former lovers/musical collaborators Bob Dylan and Joan Baez will reunite next Wednesday, February 10th for a performance at the White House. As TwentyFourBit reports, some 47 years after she joined Dylan in Washington, DC for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom ( the same even where "I Have a Dream" went down ), Baez is now set to join him, along with Smokey Robinson, John Mellencamp, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and others at another Civil Rights Event in the Nation's Capital, this being the White House-hosted Celebration of Music from [...]
“Perhaps the pictures in the Times could no longer be put in rhymes,” Joan Baez sang in 1972’s “To Bobby,” a song which not only begs her former musical/romantic partner Bob Dylan to return to writing the kind of civil rights music (or “protest songs”) that once made him the so-called “voice of a generation,” but also guilts him with a form of social responsibility (“Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby? / They’re crying for you”). Now forty-seven years after Dylan and Baez sang at the same March on Washington where [...]
