If I could scream any louder about Mr. Anders Osborne I would, but at this point I don't think it's possible.  Quite simply, he is one of my favorite presently working musicians. Gigging in so many different bands that are constantly in motion across the U.S., he is busting his ass to entertain...

We never did give Lou Reed a proper eulogy here on the site, but I guess it's only fitting since his is the sort of presence that hovers around a lot of the music featured here, but is never quite front in and center. Best way I can give him the spotlight here is by...

The Cadillac Palace seems to be the happening place in town for intimate acoustic performances from unexpected artists. Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell treated fans to a career spanning set, which included a few choice covers. Wyatt was on hand to capture a nice video playlist which was embedded below.

Update: He's done it again! Check out the poster / setlists from the NYC run.Phil Lesh indicated that he'd try something interesting for his fall tour with Phil & Friends. He promised to weave certain themes, including a focus on great albums, into both his sets as well as those of the opener American Jubilee....

When the Black Crowes do a tour, they DO A TOUR. The weekend after Halloween marked the fourth and fifth time they've played in Chicago in 2013, offering a slightly different look at each stop. It was more intimate at the pair of shows in April at the Vic, and a straight up party during the...
