Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Elvis Perkins In Dearland just got way more than they asked for when they called up the folks at Newport Folk Festival recently, looking for tickets to this year's event. Organizers one-upped their request by inviting the band to bring their instruments and perform. One of the festival's producers, Jay Sweet, tells Spinner that "It took all of 60 seconds for them to think about it." The addition was the result of impeccable [...]

My Gold Mask-1000 Voices This duo hailing from Chicago is proof that you don't need a big band to create a full rich sound. If you don't believe us believe the EP and if you don't believe that see them live.

Photography by me ! I'd like to tell you a little story... A semi-tragic love story, if you will, between myself & a little mobile phone service provider named Sprint . It's a long story, so how about we start up the tunes now, let you settle in, and snuggle up for a, hopefully, good read. Push play and let's begin our story as... TSURURADIO Presents...

Isn't there some kind of boycott going on in this state? Because you certainly could have fooled me. I'm not saying that to downplay the seriousness of the situation brewing both in the state and nationally right now. I only mean that this Summer and Fall are shaping up to be the most incredible seasons for live music in Phoenix that I've ever witnessed. Lets all focus on how lucky we are to get all these amazing bands that ARE coming through town and thank the promoters that are working tirelessly to keep these acts coming here during this trying [...]
The reigning queen of retro-soul, Sharon Jones, and her ace backing-band, the Dap Kings have been slated for a free show at the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame on Friday, August 13th at 8 PM. While this is easily the biggest and best act The Hall has pulled in for one of their free outdoor shows, admittance to this one does come with a catch, or two, or three. In this case, free admission isn't the same as easy admission, for this is an all ticket event with various options through which you can try [...]

It's probably safe to say that there isn't anyone out there working quite as hard to put on an engaging and energetic live show as Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings . The band, which played the Crystal Ballroom with The Heavy , not only sold out the show, but brought down the house as well. The Heavy opened up the night, though it feels wrong to call it night at that point. Sun peaked in through the curtains at the venue when the band took the stage at 8 p.m. The crowd [...]
