Seth Walker’s Wonderfully Gritty Blues
Last night, I headed to Atwood’s Tavern to hear Seth Walker, a blues guitarist and songwriter currently based in New Orleans who previously lived in Austin and Nashville (three of the greatest music scenes in the US). I saw Seth open for The Mavericks about eighteen months ago, just him and his guitar, and was excited to see this show on his schedule.

Seth is an engaging performer who deserves to have larger audiences than he had last night at his first headlining show in the Boston area. The small crowd was treated to a show in which Seth gave us everything he has, pouring out his heart as if this was a sold-out show.

An Evening at a Rare Jazz Performance
When I decided to spend an evening at Regattabar listening to the Swallow Talmor Nussbaum Trio, I had no idea that I was in for a rare treat.
Ohad Talmor, Steve Swallow, Adam Nussbaum
Composed of Steve Swallow on bass, Ohad Talmor on saxophone and Adam Nussbaum on drums, this trio does not perform often so I knew I had to see this show.

Stellar Three-Part Harmonies from Red Molly
Last week, I attended another wonderful taping of an Extended Play Session at Alternate Root TV. This night, Red Molly gave us an intimate look into their music and process.

I knew of Red Molly but had never heard them, and was excited to hear their brand of American roots music.
The Time Jumpers Amaze!
My first night in Nashville landed me at 3rd and Lindsley to see The Time Jumpers, a band I was thrilled to finally be seeing.
Vince Gill
Fronted by Vince Gill, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, The Time Jumpers play mostly Western swing. Even though they have been together since 1998, their first album was only released in 2007. Read the rest of this entry
A Very Special Extended Play Session
How often does a songwriter actually write a song, or at least the underlayment of a song, in front of an audience? That happened at Chris Smither‘s appearance at an Extended Play Session at Alternate Root TV a few weeks ago!
Chris Smither
I will not divulge too much – after all, I want you to watch the show when it airs and be surprised – but when asked about his songwriting process, Chris not only described but also demonstrated his process. We were an incredibly lucky audience! Read the rest of this entry
Another Lovely Evening Under the Stars at the Lowell Summer Music Series
This summer’s weather has been amazing so far – no shows have been forced to move indoors at the Lowell Summer Music Series. Saturday’s Howie Day and Carbon Leaf show provided another wonderful evening under the stars at Boarding House Park.

Carbon Leaf
This was a co-bill with each act performing full sets separate from each other; they are not touring together. It was a smart move on the part of the Series, since the overlap between each act’s fan base is small.
