Honky Tonk Rocked The Middle East
I had not heard of Whitey Morgan and the 78’s until I met Tony Martinez, one of Whitey’s guitarists as well as the opening act, in Nashville last month. When Tony told me about this show at the Middle East Upstairs, I promised I would be there.

I think Tony was surprised that I was, but I keep my word (and I knew that I didn’t have a show previously scheduled that night)!

A Melange Of World Music
All I knew about Grand Fatilla before I saw them perform at Regattabar was that the same bass player who is in one of my favorite bands (Club d’Elf) was in the band, and that was enough for me to want to see Grand Fatilla perform.

I was not at all surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed this show; excellent musicians and interesting music are a great combination!

Be Part Of This Americana Show
On Saturday, October 17 at 8pm, singer-songwriter Alastair Moock teams up with members of The Swinging Steaks for a night of shared tunes between two of the Boston’s most stalwart practitioners of Americana.

Spine-Tingling Harmonies And Instrumentation Filled The Armory To The Rafters
I was nearly giddy with anticipation as I headed to Arts at the Armory to see two of my favorite bands. The headliner was Darlingside performing the first release show for their latest album, Birds Say. Opening for them was Laney Jones and the Spirits.
Darlingside
I was first in line to get through the doors, but fast at my heels were fans of one of the bands. They both became fans of the other band by the end of the show!

Warren Haynes Continues To Amaze His Fans
I have been a fan of Warren Haynes for a number of years, since I first saw him with The Allman Brothers Band in the early 1990s. He is a terrific guitarist who plays a wide range of styles, from Southern rock to blues and now to Americana. The current tour entitled Ashes & Dust stopped at the Orpheum Theatre this week where he played to a smaller-than-he-deserved crowd.

I believe his versatility plays a huge role in his popularity; if one does not like one of Warren’s projects, one is sure to like another one. This tour might have the broadest appeal of his projects to date, with the possible exception of The Allman Brothers Band. I adored this show, and only wish it had started earlier in the evening!
Spend A Bluesy Friday Night At The Fallout Shelter

Bobby Long Is A Masterful Storyteller
At the end of a 24-city US tour and mere days before embarking on a European tour, Bobby Long graced the stage at The Extended Play Sessions for an evening of songs that tell stories.
Bobby Long
Touring on the heels of the release of his latest album, Ode to Thinking, Bobby has a voice that deserves to be heard.
