Country Fried + Jenn Howard & Crazy McGee + Frogs Gone Fishing + Lubriphonic + The Iko Allstars + Honey Island Swamp Trio + Papa Mali and Friends + special guests performing at The Rusty Nail on May 3, 2011 and May 4, 2011
Members of Tea Leaf Green will be performing at The Rusty Nail on May 3-4, 2011 If you, like me, happened to walk into the Rusty Nail on the Tuesday or Wednesday between last year's Jazz Fest weekends, you were treated to significantly more than just the comfortable atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks that are the bar's specialty. You would have walked into a day-long, indoor/outdoor music extravaganza featuring local and regional favorites plus surprise appearances by the likes of Bill Kreutzman and Blues Traveler's John Popper. The "Daze Between" Festival is coming back [...]
Last month NPR Music's blog The Record kicked off a series called That's What Fans Are F0r in an effort to look "at the ways the support of fans makes its way to musician" - tackling topics like Crowdfunding, the power of social media and buying a band's album at the merch table versus digital outlets or brick and mortar stores. While we've been loving all these posts the one that went up yesterday was the icing on the cake - So You Think You're A Superfan? Readers were asked to submit their [...]
Live @ Double Door Chicago 9/25/10 - photo: Grateful Web Chicago soul funk band Lubriphonic have put together another set of tasty grooves and ballads.

More power is brought in by trombone players Johnny Cotton and Norman Palm . Lubriphonic are an old school band, laying down a solid [...]
While we're doling out praise to other sites, we wanted to wish a happy third birthday to our friends at Consequence of Sound . CoS has become a major player in the blogosphere on par with Stereogum, Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan thanks to the hard work of Alex Young and his extensive team of contributors. We love the thought and effort they put into each post - they don't just post straight press releases and don't just simply link to other websites with nary an original thought of their own when a story breaks. [...]

Now that the presales and public onsales have past, Phish fans are figuring out what extras they are left with and what tickets they still need. Last year, the CashForYourExtra ticket trading board helped hundreds of fans find the tickets they needed or sell their extras within the community. This year, CashForYourExtra has evolved into CashOrTrade.org moving to an .org domain to better represent the site's nonprofit characteristics. The site's founders, Dusty and Brando Rich are longtime Phish fans who are truly doing this to help their fellow [...]

Mixin' in the Kitchen - Wrote this in 20 minutes. I know it was that long, because at the time I was teaching guitar at a music store, and one of my students was a no show, so I wrote it in between lessons. [...]

If you are anything like me, then you know that there is nothing like the feeling - a small buzz even - that you get when you pop in a new CD and realize immediately that you have stumbled onto to something that you just have to share with everyone. That is what happened to me today. Early this morning, like any other morning lately, I reluctantly drug my ass out of a warm bed, shuffled my son through our pre-dawn sleepwalk and then headed out the door to what was looking like a long day at work.
