Can’t wait to see Furthur at the Wang Theater April 5th!! http://ow.ly/9XNUs
Bob Weir and Phil Lesh.. WOW. The Wang Theater is an amazing venue to see live music in. I have also seen Alison Krauss and the Union Station band there. Definitely check out shows at this theater. No matter where you sit you can see everything.
Set list…
Cool new band from Berklee College of music.
Forward Motion is a mixture of Dave Mathews and Love in Stockholm. Fun, funky and a little jazzy, these guys are pleasure to listen to. Catchy melodies and they can definitely jam.
Check out some music here and download free live songs.

The Whitehaus is a non-traditional performance venue and artists collective located in an eight-bedroom home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. So awesome. Go and check out their site! they have a lot of interesting artists you can see videos of and listen to new music. Great interactive sight to check out some new artists if your into the Folk like scene. A truly interesting group of creative and artistic people. Wish I was part of something like this

Here is one of the artists on the site.. Gracious Calamity
I was reading on the Relix magazine website and came across this band. Howlin Rain is really interesting. They have the Dead sound and that old school rock n roll vibe. I’m not entirely crazy for their vocals but the more I listen to their music the more I like them. So check out their stuff on Spotify if you have that or go to their facebook music page >>>

So here is a small glimpse of the incredible talent of Kelly and The Hermanos! On their facebook page they put up just one song from their newest album I am still waiting for to come out.. seriously can not wait for this album. But in the meantime enjoy this amazing song and listen to it more than 20 times, like I have.

From Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Kalispell has found a great combination of blends from folk, southern and contemporary genres. Beautiful and blissful Kalispell certainly can melt any heart. The old soul vocals and chiming piano rifts make a great pairing in all their songs. Sweet and somber melodies are abundant as they collide with a southern/folk undertone. Their songs hold a small portion of melancholy yet they hold a longing vibe as long draw out simple notes enclose around a joyful atmosphere. The song “Highways and Cranes” delivers a soft opening that draws you in closer to the music. Rolling guitar rifts and soft drumbeats are the perfect coupling for his voice and guitar. The next tune “Plot Lines” brings the tempo up a bit more. Forceful drum hits and vocals fill in nicely as the well arranged song sweeps you back and forth from beautiful piano work to solemn sung verses. The last song “Last Year” showcases rustic vocals with a rhythm and melody that will stay in your head forever. His songs are sincere and wonderful to listen to. It is a great mixture of old folk music with contemporary beats. Their EP “Last Year” is pleasing to listen to for any type of day or mood you are in. Look for their next full-length album to be released in April 2012.

The very talented band and one of my favorite group of musicians Blue Mountain Bustdown has created a new studio album “Jam Train” and from their recording session here is a sick video!
Have a listen and you can download their new album for free at http://bluemountainbustdown.bandcamp.com/
One of my all time favorite bands I have known since the beginning has just released this Christmas their second studio album “Drawn Onward” … yes indeed folks, another palindrome. And I am so happy to say that they were kind enough to let their fans download this amazing album for free.
But to help support the artists and all the hard work and talent, and amazing artwork that went into making it, for only $10 the actual CD can be yours to admire.
Either way Check it out and enjoy Dopapod’s new album. I really love the extensive creativity that went into this album. Not only did they stay true to their incredible talent of improvisation and crazy structured songs, but there are horn elements, different synth sounds and amazing guitar, bass and drum work all up in it! I am so proud of these guys to see this album now and remember what they use to be. All stages of this band have been incredible and I strongly recommend anyone to pick up this album and see these guys live.
