Oooh, so when your first song of the day is U2’s “Desire” you are bound to wake up feeling like a bad ass…I hope after you play this video, you have a slight bit more swagger in your walk today. In fact, put on your biggest sunglasses and wear them all day. You are that […]
“Did you ever, as a kid, want to crawl into the speakers?” asks Nada Surf singer-guitarist Matthew Caws. “I did — here was OK, but there was much better.” And that’s pretty much what Nada Surf is all about — Caws, bassist Daniel Lorca, and drummer Ira Elliot are in love with the way […]
By Justin Lyons Hometown performances typically carry added pressure to deliver for friends, family and fans that have championed an artist’s cause from the start. When Donald Glover’s rap project Childish Gambino announced a March show at the Tabernacle, it wasn’t a surprise that the show quickly sold out. Unfortunately, a fractured foot would postpone […]
By Justin Lyons After one listen to Bon Iver’s most recent self-titled album last Summer, it was quickly apparent that Justin Vernon had aspirations for being known for more than the lonely solitude of For Emma, Forever Ago. In the early days when Vernon began performing mostly solo, he passed lyric sheets to fans to […]

Xiu Xiu is an American avant-garde group originally from San Jose, California. The band is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart, who has been its only constant member since its inception in 2002. In days like these, I am not so sure what the difference is between being “avant-garde” and just trying to quirky. Read […]

The summer weather and the high energy filled The Amphitheater with a vibe that all concert-goers appreciate!

By Jhoni Jackson It’s always a struggle for a fledgling band to find sure footing, much less overcome multiple member changes and a year-long hiatus.
