Nobody Ignored This Elephant (Revival) In The Room

Finally, I was able to see Colorado-based Elephant Revival perform a full set at a sold-out show at The Sinclair last weekend; sadly, I missed their sets at the festivals I attended last summer where they played, although I caught a few songs they performed at one of the Newport Folk Festival’s after-shows.

The show was absolutely worth seeing, and the rest of the audience agreed. They did not take the stage until 10:30 pm, but hardly anybody left early due to the late hour.

Newport Folk Festival Line-Up Adds A Number Of Unknown Acts (To Me, At Least)

The Newport Folk Festival continues its lineup announcements and added some acts whose names are not familiar to me, but that does not matter! I look forward to being introduced to them.

Barnstar! Has Earned That Exclamation Point!

Barnstar! is one the most enjoyable acts to see live, and their recent CD release show at OBERON drove that point home to the sold-out audience.

Barnstar!

Barnstar!

Barnstar! (yes, the exclamation point is part of the name) is a bluegrass band based in the Boston area. They do not tour often, but when they do it would behoove you to see them.

Three Incredible Singer-Songwriters Warmed A Cold Winter’s Night

I attended my first house concert – the Fox Run Concert Series – because of the strength of the performers; I also heard they can be very cool. Mark Erelli, Charlie Rose, and Susan Cattaneo are musicians I saw perform at least once each last year and was impressed each time. This opportunity to see them in an intimate setting – my guess is that there were 40-50 people in attendance – was one I could not forgo.

Local Folk Singer-Songwriter Performed A Lovely Set

Kris Delmhorst is fairly well-known in the local (Massachusetts) music scene, but I had not seen her perform until last week at the Extended Play Sessions at Alternate Root TV.

Kris’ style is described as folk and American roots, which I believe is accurate.  Read the rest of this entry

Barnstar! Rocks Club Passim

Yes, the exclamation point is part of the band’s name – I like the POW! statement it makes (at least to me) about this terrific band.
