The Avett Brothers ' distinct type of folk bluegrass country rock is almost perfectly designed for summer, so it's only appropriate that the brothers from North Carolina would spend the warmer months with sweat-drenched fans. Yes, the folk quartet have mapped out another round of tour dates, with stops focused across the western half of the nation. The whole ride kicks off following the band's spring tour and a whole slew of festival appearances, and includes shows in Washington, Las Vegas, Utah, and Hawaii, along with a two-night stop in California at Oakland's Fox Theatre. Outside [...]

I'd like to write about a musician that you all may or may not be familiar with. His name is Garrett Dutton, but he goes by the name G. Love. He's been releasing music since 1993, mostly with his backing band Special Sauce, and a few weeks ago he came out with a [...]

Here are the things that I love oh so much about High Fidelity, and miss in my current musical universe: -constant list-making -knowing endless trivia and stories about every band and song -sarcasm. So for the Paper Crane Collective, I figured I'd combine all these things into a twice-monthly Top 5 list. Every other Tuesday, Those Who Dig will present a list on various topics, genres, themes, news stories, or whatever we feel like writing about [...]

Sometimes even the musically rich really get richer, too. The lineup for the second edition of the Hangout Music Festival was already stellar to begin with, but festival organizers have just dropped another bomb that makes the decision whether or not to attend what is essentially the coolest beach block party on Earth a no-brainer. Twelve acts have been added to the already stacked bill , which includes: The Avett Brothers, STS9, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Brandi Carlile, and down South favorites, JJ Grey and Mofro. Also joining a lineup that already sports [...]

Listen to Atkins' version of 'Pretend Time' and support peace in Uganda.
Earlier this week Garrett Dutton , better known by his stage name G. Love, released his fourth solo album, Fixin' To Die . The record takes G. Love's penchant for the Delta blues and drags it through a healthy dose of dusty front porch Americana courtesy of top notch production work from Seth and Scott Avett and includes covers of Paul Simon's 50 Ways To Lose Your Lover and the Velvet Underground's Pale Blue Eyes. On Wednesday night, G. Love stopped by Conan to perform the album's title track... [...]

It's hard to believe that it's a true coincidence each and every one of us here at The Wounded Jukebox used to DJ for the same radio station. For all six of us, the memories of WUSO 89.1 The Berg are one of the biggest parts of our college lives. It provided a slip n' [...]

G. Love - Fixin' To Die G. Love - Walk On G. Love - You've Got To Die G. Love - Home This release marks Duttons 14th studio album and is different than his most recent ones. The Avett Brothers quickly became one of my favorites after seeing them perform at Bonnaroo last summer, and when I heard that they produced this entire album I knew that nothing but good things could come out [...]
G. Love - Fixin' To Die Let's go ahead and put it out there, the Avett Brothers can do no wrong. The Avett Brothers have taken to producing and G. Love's latest release, Fixin' To Die , is the first album they have put their name behind. Not only did they put the final touches on the album, they played instruments on the album alongside Garret Dutton [G. Love's real name] as a part of the band on each song. I don't know too much G. Love but I do know him as the pot-smoking, [...]

Every now and then a weekend comes along that just makes you shake your head at the awesome. If it weren't for this being Sober February I'd be shaking my head wondering how I was gonna get through it both physically and financially. Anyhow, for the out of town readers, find an awesome show to go to this weekend and support live music. For my in town readers, I found your shows for you: THURSDAY NIGHT @ THE ORPHEUM: GREENLAND IS MELTING & TIM BARRY ($10) [...]
6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. I've been sans small child this weekend and during these times, I always get all retrospective [...]

I've been thinking of doing this post for a while now. As much as I love my records and my local record stores, sometimes it's hard to resist the digital deals out there. I don't want to be a shill for the big online retailer (though I'm sure some will accuse me of that anyway) but I think it's worth letting people know what we might think are five worthwhile albums on sale for $5 this month. I'll leave the comments open if you want to blast away or share five of your own selections that are [...]
In case you missed it Sunday night at the Grammy Awards... It seems the video was doctored a bit in a few places... but you get the idea.
