Over the last few months Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers have become a bit of viral video sensation thanks in part to their Van Sessions series that features the roots-infused, blue-eyed soul act covering everyone from the Grateful Dead to Madonna to Bobby Darin. Bluhm & Co. released their highly recommended sophomore album Driftwood last year, which was produced by Nicki's husband Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips fame. The band will have many chances to continue their cover songs project, as they will be spending plenty of time back [...]

One of the first initial artist announcements for the 2012 Summer Music Festival Season is due today from the Summer Camp Music Festival organizers. Over the past few days they've given their Facebook and Twitter followers a sneak peek at what to expect when the lineup drops at 5PM today courtesy of a series of "leaks." The Summer Camp Music Festival is set to return to Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois on May 25 - 27. While we await today's final day of "leaks," we wanted to fill you [...]
WHY : The Original lineup of the Flecktones reformed recently for the first time in nearly two decades, putting out the band's first album of new material in six years with Rocket Science. Piano/harmonica virtuoso Howard Levy (aka "The Man With Two Brains") steps back into the band, filling the void left by sax man Jeff Coffin, who has had his hands-full on the road as a full-time touring member of the Dave Matthews Band.
Two of our favorite bassists joined forces last night at the Belly Up in Aspen, where Vic Wooten of The Flecktones sat in with the Mike Gordon Band for the Phish original Meat, a cover of Sailin' Shoes by Little Feat and the Tom Cleary-written Crumblin' Bones. Wooten has a long history with Gordon, having first guested with Phish for most of the second set in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 21, 1993 and then again on July 9, 1997 in Lyon, France. Mike has also sat in with the Flecktones and appeared [...]
While we've been busy keeping you abreast of all the East Coast music fests, we haven't forgot about our Left Coast readers as news came down earlier this week that Outside Lands would be returning once again to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Now in its fourth year, the festie is eschewing the two-day format it adopted last year to return to a full three days of music, food, wine and art, running from August 12-14. A limited number of 3-Day [...]
Victor Wooten played the Shanmukhananda Hall in Mumbai recently. Ace lensman Vikas Munipalle sneaked backstage to capture these intimate moments with one of the best bass players of our time. Victor Wooten at soundcheck before the show Wooten's setup includes a Boss GT-6B and a RC-50 Loop Station [...]
Per gli amanti delle rock band ho scovato un post interessante su Sneakemove . Nella maggior parte dei gruppi, sono i cantanti e i chitarristi ad essere sotto i riflettori e al centro del palco. Il bassista è solitamente più nascosto e si vede appena dietro la batteria. Ma i bassisti sono spesso molto abili e di grande personalità, e le figure che hanno fatto la storia del rock sono parecchie: il blog ha selezionato 10 bassisti con relativi video delle loro performance. Alcuni di questi sono potenti, altri veloci. Tutti loro hanno, comunque, una caratteristica [...]
MP3: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones - Sunset Road , Live at Vicar Street (Dublin) on Nov 4 2009 ( Live Music Archive ) Let me be plain: you have never seen anything like Béla Fleck and the Flecktones . This latest string of US dates is sometimes billed as a reunion of the founding lineup (the first in 18 years), but that's only technically true. The Flecktones have toured extensively over the past two decades, but only now are rejoined by "the Tall, Thin Flecktone," piano and [...]
Seeing as that it's a holiday week, it only makes sense that this week's Friday Mixtape is pretty damn impressive, or at least the perfect soundtrack for painting Easter eggs or chowing down on Matzah balls, So, enjoy this week's mix of the best new singles, covers, and remixes, along with a few mp3s from some up-and-comers you might want to check out, and have a very happy holiday! NEW Singles: "Birthday" by Awesome New Republic "Tiny Little Robots" by Cage The [...]
image: GSKX Techjio wants u 2 relax in springtime. We follow up & retreat into silence with the rmx 4 bassist Victor Wooten . It's sth completely different. Mp3: Victor Wooten - More Love (Techjio Cover)
This a real smooth song. Had to Google who Victor is, but according to Wikipedia he is a awesome bassplayer. Very cool song, relaxing bass. Techjio made it cool. Victor Wooten - More Love (Techjio Cover) And we have a real cool re-edit mash-up remix thing by Doorly from the Uk, it's really good. Mr. Oizo - Lambs Garbage (Doorlys Cut N' Paste Remix)
J'aimerai etre sur cette plage et ecouter ca. Victor Wooden - More Love (Techjio Cover) (YSI) BY:TECHJIO
With what can we compare the Stanley Clarke-Marcus Miller-Victor Wooten tour, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a kitchenhand whose sole order is to add oregano to the soup, which, when served to the customer, is the smallest of all the ingredients in the soup; yet when Zhang Ziyi orders it, her face erupts with caramel sweetness up and she becomes the greatest of all goddesses, and orders the chef and cafe CEO to bring forth the person who puts in the oregano, so that the cafes of the world can make nests in its [...]
