Frank Yang A little into her show at The Drake Underground on Saturday evening, Nicole Atkins mentioned that this was her first-ever solo show in Canada, and that performances of this format were usually reserved for more casual one-off performances back home in New Jersey during the holidays. Indeed, though Ms Atkins has been no stranger to Toronto stages since releasing her debut Neptune City back in 2007, she's always been accompanied by some iteration of her band The (Black) [...]
Nicole Atkins doesn’t come off as your typical Jersey girl. With artfully two-toned hair and genre-bending anti-folk songs, the singer-songwriter offers the eclectic sensibility of a cultured metropolis dweller, an alternative to the celebrated (yet singular) stylings of other Garden State musicians. Atkins first gained recognition with her 2007 debut, Neptune City , and its major single, “Maybe Tonight.” Though the album was named after her hometown, the music, delightfully, did not sound like the soundtrack for a strip mall or tanning salon. Instead, Atkins did her state quite proud, offering a series of narratives that reflected the lives [...]

In an age of the disposable pop star, and blog buzz bands that seem to fizzle out as quickly as they rise to prominence, The Chieftains are the rare model of both consistency and longevity. The traditional Irish folk act, who have been putting out albums since the early 1906s, will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012 with a new studio album and a lengthy world tour. On February 21, the band will release Voice Of Ages , which will see the legendary act collaborating with an impressive roster of musicians from the worlds of [...]
I'm trying to be objective here and it ain't easy. We've been a fan of Nicole Atkins for years now. She was the very first to curate TVD for a week over two years ago. She headlined our SXSW showcase last March. We've gone record shopping together. She took the time to play an in-store at DC's Som Records this summer. We've given away stacks of her LPs and singles. Hell, I even have a spiffy Nicole Atkins key chain she [...]

Season 3 of Sun Studio Sessions will debut this coming January on select PBS affiliates in January 2012 and then roll out across the country over the rest of the year. Earvolution had the pleasure of first seeing Nicole perform in 2008 and couldn't think of a better artist to kick-off the new season of Sun Studio Sessions.Nicole has appeared on Conan O'Brien and David Letterman and her debut
“Back in my day, we used to call these CD singles,” grumbles the curmudgeonly old critic. A mish-mash collection of remixes, out-takes, and jams from The Antlers , (together) contains only two songs that weren't on this year's exceptional Burst Apart in some form or another. The EP's central hook is the collaborations it contains, but disappointingly, they're collaborations only in a technical sense. (together) features appearances by Bear in Heaven, Neon Indian, and Nicole Atkins, but rather than come up with something [...]
The Antlers, quienes apenas el mes pasado nos visitaron en el Festival Corona Capital, regresan con un nuevo EP titulado " (together) "; mismo que incluirá versiones alternativas y canciones que formarán parte del disco ' Burst Apart', a estrenarse el próximo año . Este nuevo trabajo incluye colaboraciones con Neon Indian, Bear in Heaven y Nicole Atkins , así como un cover al [...]
Tweet Listen to The Antlers 's cover of The xx 's song "VCR" below. During the week it was announced that The Antlers will be releasing "(together)" , a new EP on November 22nd that will host collaborations with Neon Indian , Nicole Atkins , and Bear In Heaven , along with outtakes [...]
La última vez que supimos de The Antlers fue a principios de este año cuando la banda presentó al mundo su cuarta producción discográfica,
Tina Tyrell It's saying something when Annie Clark's looks rank a ways down the list of things she has going for her as St. Vincent . If we're keeping score, then you'd have to put her angelic, crystalline coo of a voice and virtuosic, elliptical guitar skills right at the top (though which of the two should come first is grist for hours of debate). And of course neither would be anything without her songwriting acumen, which nimbly treads the terrain between odd and accessible, between abstract and evocative. But underpinning all of [...]
No último dia 06 em Nova York, rolou uma noite de shows em homenagem ao cantor Tom Petty . Entre atores, comediantes e mais um monte de gente famosa que estava no evento, a ala musical foi bem representada por Norah Jones , Nicole Atkins , Nathan Followill , Fabrizio Moretti e Regina Spektor , que é fã do Tom Petty, mas só quis assistir as apresentações e não cantou. Na quinta edição do Petty Fest , Norah Jones fez backings com Nicole e Jessie Bailyn [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive Courtesy of Cabo Wabo It didn't take Mick Fleetwood and Nicole Atkins very long to figure out they had a connection. While sharing a bottle of tequila and bonding over a love of the blues, Atkins managed to impress the Fleetwood Mac drummer with some obscure facts about his legendary band's early, debauched years. "She definitely was aware of some things [...]
Frank Yang I'm sure they didn't intend to be away for so long - it wasn't their fault that the 2009 edition of the Toronto Islands show for which they were the undercard was cancelled - but as of Friday night's long-awaited show at the Sound Academy., it had been over four years since Explosions In The Sky last played Toronto and you could round up closer to five if you're talking headlining shows. A long time for any active, touring band but an eternity for an act whose fanbase grew [...]
So what if it's an extended tequila commercial? The pairing is unexpected and cool. You've heard pretty much everything you need to know about Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, but what you probably didn't know before this clip is how close to deportation an earlier version of the band came after a gig with the Grateful Dead. You probably haven't heard Edith Piaf mentioned this much outside of a theatre luncheon and you probably never thought you'd see Nicole Atkins and Mick Fleetwood jam. But there they are... and it's pretty...

Justin Evans After a prolific career of twenty years, an artist can be forgiven for choosing to settle into some manner of creative comfort zone or perhaps repeating themselves. And while Eric Bachmann isn't necessarily continuing to break new artistic ground, he's covered enough terrain over the years that even revisiting past efforts remains a wonderfully unpredictable exercise. Reach back to Archers Of Loaf for some ragged and jagged proto-indie rock, early Crooked Fingers or his solo work for stark yet rich folk-rooted singer-songwriter fare, later Crooked Fingers for gorgeous Spanish-inflected [...]
[photo courtesy of JC McIlwaine and Bowery Houselist ] After several near misses, we were fortunate to finally catch Nicole Atkins live for the first time since March at Maxwell's . As she is currently on tour in support of The Felice Brothers (recording coming soon), Nicole's set was an abbreviated version of her recent performances. While we pined for her mid-set solo segment, her Webster Hall show on Friday was full of peak moments - her band The Black Sea continues to impress, particularly guitarist Irina Yalkowsky [...]
