John Popper & The Duskray Troubadours: John Popper & the Duskray Troubadours

Jun 9, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours are 'Sweet'
Enigmatic Blues Traveler front-man plays a pop song! John Popper, the iconoclastic harmonica-playing singer and front-man of Blues Traveler, has always been a melodic pop tunesmith, despite the band's hard rock edge and improvisational bent. Whether exemplified in such popular Traveler songs as "Sweet Pain", "Hook", or "Runaround", or in listening to his more straight-forward rock solo album Zygote, released in 1999, he's had a flare for melodic, radio-friendly and hook-laden hits, while much of what he records with Blues Traveler tends to...

Preview // New Orleans Oyster Festival: 06.04.2011 – 06.05.2011

Preview // New Orleans Oyster Festival: 06.04.2011 – 06.05.2011 John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours will be performing at the New Orleans Oyster Festival on June 4, 2011 The Deepwater Horizon Offshore Drilling platform exploded and sank into the Gulf of Mexico just a month and a half before the gates opened for last year's inaugural New Orleans Oyster Festival. Although the proceeds from the event benefited those coastal communities affected, the Oyster Festival was not, as many believe, launched in direct response to the unfettered flow of oil that was erupting from the ocean floor. In fact, the BP Oil Disaster was the second [...]

Listen to John Popper And The Duskray Troubadours' Non-Comm performance at World Cafe Live At The Queen

May 20, 2011, 2:02pm The Key
Listen to John Popper And The Duskray Troubadours' Non-Comm performance at World Cafe Live At The Queen Via NPR Music : Best known for his role as the harmonica-toting frontman of Blues Traveler, John Popper also sports serious skills as a guitarist and singer, as well as an impressive career dating back to the 1980s. His new project's eponymous release, John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours , features 12 original tracks. It's described by Popper himself as the "liberating, scrappy, roots-rock alter ego of Blues Traveler," and he's pretty much on the money. Popper and his band recently took the stage at The Queen in Wilmington, Del., for [...]

SXSW 2011 Recap: Photos, Videos, and More

Mar 25, 2011, 1:02pm Live Music Blog
SXSW 2011 Recap: Photos, Videos, and More I got back from SXSW this past weekend, but I'm still in a bit of shock and awe (and recovery) from my five days down there. I've been meaning to post this since Sunday, but I've also been battling some kind of post- SXSW plague while trying to catch up at work. SXSW is this weird, all-encompassing music industry free-for-all that showcases the best and not-so-best of this industry I have somehow found myself engulfed in. While I came away totally exhausted and fairly overwhelmed, I also managed to run a [...]

#SXSW Music: Day 1

Mar 17, 2011, 1:01am the music slut
My first band of the day, and of SXSW, was Ponderosa at the Paste Party but I missed my photo opp. Ponderosa were good old fashioned, southern rock, a good start to the day and a nice introduction to Texas. Next, I headed to the DC Does Texas party where after years of hearing her [...]

Cover Wars: Willin' Edition

Nov 10, 2010, 12:49pm Hidden Track
Uncle Tupelo - Willin - St Louis, MO 4/30/1994
We're still abuzz from Phish's fantastic interpretation of Little Feat's seminal 1978 live album Waiting For Columbus that we wanted to continue to pay tribute to the highly influential, yet somehow criminally underrated band. This week we're placing that act's classic trucker anthem, Willin', into the squared circle - a song that has been rumored as the reason that Lowell George was asked to leave Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention, and thus the impetus for the formation of Little Feat. The track originally appeared [...]

In Which I Download A Little Harmonica And Put It In My Mouth [IPhone Music Makers]

Oct 16, 2008, 1:00pm Idolator
In Which I Download A Little Harmonica And Put It In My Mouth [IPhone Music Makers] Last week, I talked about the gorgeous iPhone music app Bloom , created by real geniuses Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. One week later, I might love it more than ever; in fact, I fell asleep listening to it last night. One of the things I like about Bloom is that it's a music creator and not an instrument simulator or a rhythm game, unlike a majority of the iPhone music applications. One of the hot new music applications is a 99-cent number called Harmonica , developed by Benjamin McDowell. Bloom it is not, but it's [...]
