Concert review/photo gallery! “Anytime I play live, I just want to make people forget about everything else in the world and feel the same joy that I feel on stage.”

The bottom line: go see The Eric Gales Band. You will walk away impressed and inspired. 

For fans of both pure, greasy rock & roll and poignant messages, ‘Water Valley High’ is a hidden treasure to add to your collection!

It’s sagas like these that add to the allure of the blues, and the city should be commended.

The new ‘Elvis’ film had some heavy shoes to fill, and it succeeded on all fronts.

Liz is with another original and eclectic song, “Bounty,” which crosses a range of roots-based genres, and a dream of “hosting free music forever more.”

Wilco live is not about flash and stage antics. It is purely about the music. Jeff Tweedy writes with intent, meaning and message leading listeners to contemplation.

It always seems like Warren picks the perfect tunes for the atmosphere.

It’s as if their voices are two tendrils of smoke that softly weave around each other before harmoniously blending at the emotional apex of the song.

Blues in its broadest sense encompasses so many emotions from the darkest moods to the lightest of hues. ‘The World Of Ben Vaughn’ is at the latter end of the spectrum. A nostalgic slice of vinyl worthy of a place in your pile.

ABS caught The James Hunter Six, a charismatic re-introduction to the past similar to what The Stray Cats did for rockabilly revival.

LaMontagne’s ability to place his audience within the emotion of his songs was recently on full display before an enthusiastic crowd at the esteemed Chicago Theatre.
