– It was a pretty rock ‘n’ roll weekend, with The EARL’s 11th anniversary and Ringo Starr on music fans’ to-rock lists, but Saturday night found us at the CW Midtown Music Complex, where Rooney played upstairs and a pretty darn loud Sleigh Bells played to a sold-out crowd down in Vinyl.

Will Kimbrough Wings Daphne By Al Kaufman Like his musical friends Tommy Womack, Rodney Crowell, and, to a lesser degree, Todd Snider, Will Kimbrough has comfortably settled into middle age. On his fifth solo CD (he has released at least five others as part of various bands and produced a few others) Nashville/Americana stalwart Kimbrough […]
Modern Skirts Happy 81 EP Self-Released By Sam Parvin With technology innovation growing exponentially by the day, a return to the good ole days is sometimes in order. When one is able to combine more primitive techniques and deliver a product worthy of competing with the rest of ‘em, well you’ve got gold.
