The “Sticky Fingers” tour began as a few spot dates last summer in Western U.S. markets, but the response to the shows was so strong, Denson said, he and his band decided to keep the idea afloat for a while. A new stretch of East Coast dates kicks off Tuesday, starting with Boston, Mass.
Have you ever heard a song for the first time and gotten goosebumps? That happened to me the moment I heard “Two Kings.”
Bluegrass band Flatland Drive makes the trip from Harrington and Denton, Md., to Dover for the In Harmony concert Friday evening. Bandmembers talked to us about their diverse backgrounds and unique sound in anticipation of their upcoming gig.
Ricky Gervais hosted the 69th annual Golden Globes. Monologues and jokes were typical Gervais: slam the person of the moment. No one was safe. But it was to be expected, so pretty much everybody seemed prepared, including Madonna.
Listening to “Chimes of Freedom,” the new 76-song Bob Dylan tribute to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International, is almost a stream-of-consciousness experience. You sometimes feel like you’ve accidentally stumbled into the most way-out coffeehouse in some alternate-universe Greenwich Village.
Punk rock and Broadway musicals: When those two worlds join together, it’s a sign of the pop culture apocalypse. At least, that’s what we used to think. Then, along came the Broadway show “American Idiot,” based on the landmark, Grammy-winning 2004 Green Day album.
Tonight singer-songwriter Christian Floyd will perform songs from his new album, as well as covers from Jason Mraz and Coldplay, at the Young Bean Coffee Shop. The free concert begins at 6 p.m.
J.J. Grey wanted to do something decidedly different when he finally acceded to multiple requests for a live album.
Born in New York City and raised in Russia, the classically trained Elizaveta bills her sound as “opera pop,” which is enough to make anybody nervous. But don’t worry.
The Massachusetts-based Kingsley Flood, founded by frontman Naseem Khuri, first made a splash in 2010 with its debut album “Dust Windows,” a rollicking, literate collection of Americana-style tracks that got the group more than its share of local notice.
Tennesse’s Kevin Gordon has been referred to as a “Southern Springsteen,” but you’re also likely to hear shades of Mark Knopfler’s laconic storytelling style and Steve Earle’s wry alt-country delivery in Gordon’s work. He'll be at Toad in Cambridge on Jan. 20.
“These two guys were sitting over in the corner pointing at me and whispering. Later that night, they came over and introduced themselves, and it was Joe and Dan from Three Tall Pines. They just said they were looking for a new fiddle player, someone with a little more energy and pizzazz ..."
Acoustic folk-rock trio Breaking Laces will bring their potent sound and heartfelt tunes to Mojo Main, along with performers Ben Lewis and The War Against Silence, on Thursday.
For music history buffs like me, 2011 was one for the record books. It seemed like almost every week something historic was happening on a Billboard chart.
Traditionally, we end each year with a list of the year’s best albums, a top 10 of the year’s music. 2011 seemed like a good year for songwriting with a plethora of compelling works from individual styles.
This was a year when most everybody needed to cut loose, kick off their Sunday shoes and dance. If you had moves like Jagger, I hope you didn’t apologize for the party rockin’. High energy, dance-infused club music dominated the charts and airwaves, while a countrified version of the ’80s hit flick “Footloose” kicked up some dust.
The holiday season is a great time to take a look at music books, and the obvious choice for a rock fans’ last-minute Christmas gift might be the new “Aerosmith: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Boston Bad Boys” by Richard Bienstock.
Put up your feet, grab a cup of hot cocoa and take a reindeer quiz.
If you aren’t sick of Christmas music yet, chances are you will be by the time Christmas actually rolls around. We decided to list our favorite holiday song (yes, it can be a holiday other than Christmas), our favorite non-traditional holiday song, and the holiday song that never should have been made. Paul McCartney, you’ve been warned.
About all these songs have in common is that, with a few exceptions, you probably didn’t hear many of them on the radio this year. But they’ll sound great coming from your iPod.
