I just caught the lineup for the 2012 3 Rivers Arts Fest in Pittsburgh, and it's a very good one. Kathleen Edwards, the Wailers, and Bruce Hornsby are solid scores. There's not as much indie rock as I'd prefer, but Dawes on June 5 is a nice addition. And there's a bluegrass day! Bluegrass is perhaps the most underrated genre of music. Of course, all the shows are free, so you can't go wrong

We’ve been counting down the days until this year’s Newport Folk Festival , since the lineup was announced back in the beginning of March. With the fest essentially extending to three days this year, thanks in part to Wilco’s Friday night show, and music ending on the early side for music festival standards, it’s no surprise that there have been a handful of “late-night” options announced for those headed Newport. Much like they did last year, local heroes  Deer Tick  will again take up residency at the  Newport Blues Cafe , where they will curate three Newport Folk ...

A prequel, if you will, to 2011’s critically acclaimed *Nothing is Wrong*, *North Hills* is *Dawes’* first effort, a glimpse at the roots of a now fully grown band. Comprised of 11 soul-bearing tracks, *North Hills* is drenched with the essence of the band’s native California, evoking the mythology...

Wakefield indie kingpins The Cribs are the latest addition to the line up of T In The Park. The Cribs are back. New album 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' was released last week, and promptly stomped all over the charts gaining a Top Ten placing in the process. Heading out on tour, the band are approaching the summer season with caution. Not wanting to over exert themselves, The Cribs have only agreed to a handful of festival performances - a list which has just increased by one. The band are the latest addition to the line up of T ...

Stream: Dawes – “Something Fine” Dawes has an obvious affection for Jackson Browne. Singer Taylor Goldsmith’s voice sounds so similar to Browne’s, it took me a long time to realize that Browne contributed vocals to “Fire Away” on last year’s Nothing Is Wrong. They even played a couple of songs together for Occupy Wall Street [...]
