yee-haw! its the country music pic of the month ya'll! woo-hoo! another new thang ! this "live in concert exclusive" picture was taken one week ago tonite. i'm not exactly a huge fan of country music but my wife is. and i have to keep her happy. that's why we go to so many Toby Keith concerts. and that's why i ended up at a country bar in downtown Roanoke on St. Patrick's Day weekend . the place is called Sidewinders. the singer was Ricky [...]

ok its below 30 degrees in Virginia right now. i don't remember exactly what the temperature was then but i know it was A LOT warmer when this pic was taken last July. i'm not sure about "HOT" but the pic came out a little HAZY... this was Johnny Winter and his band LIVE in Roanoke last summer. i know you can't tell who is who because it is out of focus. but in [...]

of course i really like Esperanza Spalding . see past posts . so last nite i saw her in concert again! 3rd time! i also got her autograph again! 2nd time! she is really so cool in person and on stage. also, s he is amazing in the way that no category really fits her perfectly. she is jazz and soul and big band and funk and classical and just a damn great musician! she is also a great singer and composer. but don't [...]

here is another "behind the back" pic. this one was actually taken from behind the stage at Kirk Avenue Music Hall in Roanoke last New Year's Eve. the band is the one and only Southern Culture on the Skids ... ... these two two pics were taken only seconds apart. the big difference between them is that the second one had a flash...

like i said yesterday, i haven't been posting much in the past year. it's not that i don't have anything good to post. i went to some pretty good concerts last year. and so far 2012 is starting off as a another good year for quality shows. on New Year's Eve i went to see S.C.O.T.S. in downtown Roanoke at a place called Kirk Avenue Music Hall. S.C.O.T.S. stands for Southern Culture on the Skids ( site [...]

This wooden comb bike rack made by the  Knowhow Shop LA co-op as a public art installation for the city of Roanoke, VA is rad and clever. That's all. More cities should have shit like this. [via colossal ] Tweet

A new video from our friends Vandaveer hit the web this week, and we can't just keep it to ourselves. It's yet another great visual interpretation of a Vandaveer song, this one from "Dig Down Deep" and it features not only Mark and Rose, but also friends from These United States and other musical friends of Vandaveer. Check it out below and be sure to catch Vandaveer here in Cincinnati at the Southgate House for a show May 13th. May 05 Triumph Brewing Co. New Hope, PA [...]

Here's a little video we cut from our recent All Hallow's Eve Tour with Holy Ghost Trent Revival ~ enjoy!:

Last night while en route to the Holy Ghost compound we ran over a deer. Mind you the deer had already been struck down by some long gone assaliant, we still ran over its carcass at about 70 mph. There is now deer hair on our wheels and a new whine from the engine, particularly when going up hill. Now, after waking to a wonderful feast of biscuits and gravy with loaded scrambeled eggs prepared by Jaime Coggins and Kim (again thank you!) we have set off safely for New Bern for our next stop on this jaunt [...]

its hard to believe that it has been 20 years since Stevie Ray Vaughan ( site / wiki ) died. i remember exactly where i was when i first heard the news. it was my first day as a student at a major university. there was a radio report that initially said that "Eric Clapton's helicopter had crashed." wow, i thought, "Clapton is dead!?!" but soon after the facts became more clear: it was a helicopter leaving Eric Clapton's concert that had [...]

Red Clay River proudly comes out of Roanoke, Virgina and could very well be one of the most popular bands ever prior to releasing a full length album. My Red Clay River experience came at Deep Blues Festival '09. My buddy from here in Florida had already tipped me off about them and made me promise to catch them live while I was there, and being a man of my word, I did. Afterward we went back, met the guys (and gal) and picked up their music. Nothing, neither of the two EP's I picked up nor the live show [...]
