As most of you know, I am open-minded and have and will cover just about any type of show, but I’ve never covered country music. The reason for that is having a father who loved, loved, loved Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs, so I had my fill of country music before I was even a […]

I’m not talking about being direction challenged, nor films, or even Jimmy McHugh & Chet Baker, I’m talking about the charming, indie band Let’s Get Lost with frontmen and songwriting duo Nick Shadel (piano/vocals) and Peter Kowalczyk (guitar/vocals) (fka The Bedouin Jacks), now +/- a few, who had their swanky masquerade CD release party at […]

Benjamin Doerr said, “It wasn’t until partway through my sixth grade year that I happened upon my grandmother’s old guitar. I remember picking it up and wishing more than anything that I could make it sound good.” Lucky for us he did.

Well, folks - I just got back from Austin, Texas. When I landed at the airport, I thought for sure I’d see Cowboy Central but I only saw three cowboys in total (one of which was my boyfriend - ha!). What I did see were sleeve tattoos, dreads, counterculture clothing and hair. I was impressed […]
