Morphing from straight up Southern rock a’la 38 Special and Molly Hatchett to old-timey bluegrass to rock’n’roll jam band White Denim get down! They hail from Austin, home of SXSW and definitely give off the Southwestern laid back and solid kind of vibe. I was fortunate to catch a bit of their 2012 performance. Hopefully […]
Tennessee Welcomes Valerie June back home at Bonnaroo
Valerie June is coming to Bonnaroo this June and here’s another one that makes me wonder how I’ve missed her… She even makes light of a situation like that talking about the way her music made it’s way onto the scene.

With a classic 80’s brit pop sound Caveman from New York will be rockin’ out at Bonnaroo 2014! All it takes is a few plays on their video page to fall for their eclectic songs that aren’t all bubbly happy things like the first few notes of their latest release might suggest. They’ve got an […]

It’s been a long wait, but the funk is back at Bonnaroo 2014 with Big Sam’s Funky Nation! It was 2010 last time I saw Big Sam’s Funky Nation. They kicked off a gorgeous Saturday just as I was coming in the gate. I nudged Meg with a smile as we rounded the corner and got […]

Allah-Las bring the West Coast to Bonaroo
Been groovin with some Southwest dessert sorta surf rock tunes from the Allah-Las as I work my way through the 2014 Lineup. These cats are pretty smooth, I’ll be hoping they grace one of my midnight walks through Centeroo for one of those great “close your eyes and ride the waves” ‘Roo kinda nights… Pitchfork […]
Vance Joy – “God Loves You When You’re Dancing” at Bonnaroo 2014
I was in the mood for some folky, acoustic stuff with good, thought-provoking lyrics when I got to Vance Joy on the Bonnaroo lineup. Perfect Timing. That’s all. Just a moment of fate… Finding the best times at the Mid-South’s premier music festival is a lot like that… you meander through the smoke and little […]
J Roddy Walston & The Business to Drop on Bonnaroo!
Checking out bands playing Bonnaroo 2014, I found J Roddy Walston & The Business are coming back again! Oh cool, they’re from Cleveland, we’re practically neighbors by country standards! Grabbing the cans, and cranking them way up, I had one thought, “So this is how all my pro headphones get blown the f**k up!” and […]
