As we previously reported , in a recent issue of Rolling Stone, Roger Waters revealed that he would be bringing his highly successful tour back to the United States this summer to play a number of markets that he missed the first time around, as well as the bigger news that he would also bringing the huge multi-media production outdoors for the first time, and that those show would be taking place baseball stadiums in select big cities. Well, Waters has come through on his promise, as today Live Nation has announced the latest leg [...]
Australian singer-songwriter John Butler has built a reputation as being one of the more socially conscious artists around, so it should come as no surprise that Butler is lending his hand to another worthy cause. Butler, along with his wife Mama Kin , have recorded the charity single Losing You, to help the Aussie organization Save The Kimberly , whose goal is to protect Australia's Kimberley, one of the last great wildernesses, from industrialization and pollution. Let's check out this live version of the song, which is currently available on iTunes , that the [...]
20082s Pemberton Festival set the tone for BC festivals. Although many smaller fests have happened over the years (the Virgin Music festival made an impact but seemingly ended here in 2009, the occasional UBC Thunderbird Stadium event) there is nothing like what the rest of the world, and the rest of Canada is used to. Last year's Live At Squamish was it's premiere, and so with the relatively young event in it's second year, MVRemix had to see how the experience fared. With the first year having Dirty Vegas, Z Trip, The Decemberists and Devo on [...]

Some moments in music stay with you, forever reminding you of a time, place or feeling. Watching John Butler Trio's rendition of Ocean for the first time was one of those moments. I immediately knew I had to see this man perform his craft live. This weekend, John Butler Trio, Metric, Girl Talk, Kim Churchill, and many other artistic talents will come together for two days of beautiful sights and sounds just off the Sea to Sky highway in Squamish, BC. Live at Squamish is in its' second consecutive year and will feature 36 performances on [...]

Music festivals have come and gone in Canada, but one which seems to have taken hold and established an identity is Montreal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival . Conveniently scheduled right at the end of July, and picturesquely located on its own island by the Saint Lawrence River, it brought fans from across the country and elsewhere up close and personal with nearly 100 bands and DJs. It's not quite as big as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, or Coachella yet, but Osheaga is well on its way to becoming a preferred summer destination. I lost track of the number of times artists [...]
This week's NYC -area concert calendar is bumpin'! The Allmans Brothers are back at the Beacon, Elvis Costello 's at the Count Basie Theatre, They Might Be Giants play the Williamsburg Waterfront, we've got two shows by reunited 90s alt-rock titans (Bush and STP), and this oddball lineup of Weezer , The Flaming Lips and Yeasayer are all at Jones Beach. But, as usual, it's the smaller club shows - and, in this case, the boat cruises - that interest me most. For something a bit more rock-based [...]
John Butler Trio - Better Than (Live at Red Rocks) Around this time last year, John Butler Trio (JBT) played their first headlining show at one of the most famous and intimate venues any band dreams to be able to play at. Like any other performance at Red Rocks, it was full of energy and the threesome decided to release it as a CD/DVD in stores and online. They have released two studio albums since the previous live album so they go deep in their catalog and played a good chunk from each one. [...]

The setting sun behind the rolling hills of West Virginia provided a fittingly bucolic backdrop for the opening performances of the 15h Annual All Good Music and Festival . The mountaintop festival site was already well filled in when we rolled in just before noon, and by the time dusk approached, the party was in full swing. Opening the weekend's long roster of festival favorites was the West Coast's Hot Buttered Rum . At most festivals I've been to, the audience attendance at opening act is somewhat lacking. [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: John Butler Trio Video: 'Close to You' Highlight: "'Close to You' is about a young man hitting the wall, realizing that the life he's living is not the one he wants," John Butler tells Spinner. "As much as he wants to break out, get away from everything, he goes back to the one he loves."

The organizers had too much music on their plates this year that it could not be contained in merely 2 days, a third day had to be summoned. The 6th edition of this now 3 day festival goes down @ Parc Jean-Drapeau July 29th, 30th and 31st. Last year's lineup was pretty much unbeatable. Expectations were high for this [...]
I think someone on my Facebook news feed summed it up best: here's the most surprising festival lineup of 2011. The jam-centric Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival will return for its 16th incarnation July 21-24 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT, and it will bring with it jamheads Furthur, the legendary Elvis Costello (who will be backed by the Imposters), and... Jane's Addiction. Really, really. The rest of the lineup is a bit more by the book: moe., Levon Helm Band, John Butler Trio, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dark Star Orchestra, and Dr. John and the [...]
