E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren breaks out the top hat, cane and tap shoes (I'm not bullshittin' back here) for his new video "Dream Big" from his excellent new release, Old School . Lofgren has always been incredibly creative and he doesn't disappoint here. Check out Nils, Bruce and rest of the E Street Band tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They are the only guests. Should be a good one. Next week we look ahead to a big Springsteen week at SXSW in Austin where we will have complete coverage. [...]
As we eagerly await the "Wrecking Ball Tour," here are Nils and The Boss from 1992. Happy Valentine's Day! Nils Lofgren Official Website
This ain't your daddy's rock album ... it's your granddad's. If there's a canon of legendary rock guitarists, Nils Lofgren likely occupies a spot on it. He may not have immediate name recognition, but his almost 30-year tenure as part of the E Street Band has revealed him to be a very talented guitar player. Unfortunately, his new solo outing is not as indicative of his talent as is his tenure with the folks of E Street. Old School is likely to appeal to die-hard...

Since 2007, Nils Lofgren has spent two years on the road with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, played the Super Bowl, had hip replacement surgery and lost close friends, E Street Band members, Danny Federici and the "Big Man" Clarence Clemons. Lofgren throws the emotions from these events and more life experiences into one pot and stirs up an excellent 12-track collection called Old School . On the rockin' title track, Lofgren gets a little help from former Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm and takes a shot at all those whiners who would rather complain than get out and actually do [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , Q + A Joseph Quever Nils Lofgren has worn many hats during his 40-plus years in the music business. When he was only in his late teens and virtually unknown, he played on Neil Young 's classic album 'After the Gold Rush.' He led his own band, Grin, which made four albums during the first half of the '70s. He joined the [...]

Nils Lofgren : The Sun Hasn't Set On This Boy Yet [ purchase ] Could one of rock's great declarations of independence have really come from one its most famous sidemen? Absolutely! Before he joined Springsteen's E-Street Band or toured with Neil Young, Nils Lofgren was a 17 year old B-average senior who dropped out of his suburban Maryland high school to become a rock star. As he recently told The Wall Street Journal, "Nobody dropped out of school where I was, except the [...]

Contributed by Christopher Gedos Everest, Richard Swift and Red Cortez played at The Satellite (formerly Club Spaceland) on Monday, February 28th. It was the final Monday for Red Cortez's residency. They played 4 free shows and gave away 4 free EPs (different each week) throughout the month. It was either the final Spaceland residency or the first Satellite residency, and I'm sure the crowd would've been at max capacity were it not for the unnecessary, corporate-driven name change. Five piece Everest was Neil Young's backing band on the legend's most recent tour. I could [...]

It's been a while since I've done a links page like this. I started posting these because there's SO much out there on the web to check out, it's near impossible to see it all. A buddy of mine, John Beard, always jokes how one day he'll reach the "end of the Internet" and all he'll see is a black page that says, "Congratulations, you did it!" Man, John Beard is funny. And he cooks the best pork ribs I've EVER tasted. He should seriously open his own BBQ joint [...]

I just want to get this Neil Young cover into the world. It's an amazing performance by Nils Lofgren and it's beauty bypasses all that is around you, once you dig into it. So do dig.. It's just a friendly tip. TMI Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

Wild Weekend , edition 21. The iPod shuffle picked a varied bunch of high society tunes once again, and all you gotta do is check ´em out. Surprises await... And easy does it. We´ll start off with the sound of angry LA. "So you marry your daddy, with a different name..." That´s John Doe and Exene singing, from a still amazing debut record called Los Angeles . Came out thirty years ago already... Time sure flies, kids. Some thundering roots reggae follows, featuring the one and only Johnny Clarke. [...]
Well, my first Martin Sexton show was everything and more than I anticipated it to be. Not only were Martin and his backing Ryan Montbleau Band stellar, but none other than Nils Lofgren joined the band for entire second half of the show! Nils lives in Scottsdale, and I've always wondered if we'd ever cross paths. Last night, it happened at the Compound Grill! A full review with photos to come later. Check back! Set List Martin Sexton The Compound [...]

The last ever photo of the Beatles together, as far as I know. Ringo and Paul wave goodbye, George looks exceedingly pleased, and John looks for Yoko (or perhaps Allen Klein). Tomorrow, 10 April, marks the 40th anniversary of Paul McCartney announcing the offcial disbandment of The Beatles. Of course, the Beatles were finished long before that. The final session for the Abbey Road album was, as the song had it, The End. And the guys knew it. Still, nothing was announced until 10 April 1970, when Paul unilaterally declared the Beatles kaputt. There [...]
