The Poojer Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Avett Brothers saturday night! should be an awesome show with Trombone Shorty opening! Might also pick up tickets to the Walkman and Arctic Monkeys while I am there. Could be a great week of music with Robert Randolph playing World Cafe Live in Wilmington also next week.

NoSaint Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Avett Brothers saturday night! should be an awesome show with Trombone Shorty opening! Might also pick up tickets to the Walkman and Arctic Monkeys while I am there. Could be a great week of music with Robert Randolph playing World Cafe Live in Wilmington also next week. so how was the show pooj? I hear the monkeys new cd is pretty solid. will be seeing them in a few weeks.
The Poojer Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 great as usual....here is a review of the show http://thekey.xpn.org/2013/09/15/like-playing-at-home-the-avett-brothers-delighted-the-mann-center-crowd-photos-review-video-setlist/ not sure I am going to make the walkmen/arcade fire...i am a huge fan of the walkmen and have seen them 6-7 times in the past couple years, arcade fire is the current buzz band but i really haven't listened to much to them yet so how was the show pooj?

Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 great as usual....here is a review of the show http://thekey.xpn.or...-video-setlist/ not sure I am going to make the walkmen/arcade fire...i am a huge fan of the walkmen and have seen them 6-7 times in the past couple years, arcade fire is the current buzz band but i really haven't listened to much to them yet What a set! Highlighted by three of my favorite Avett Brothers songs...Down With the Shine, A Father's First Spring, and Laundry Room. I'm jealous. Saw a great Avett show in Canandaigua, NY in July. Grace Potter was awesome too. Such a force on stage, and very easy on the eyes.
birdog1960 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) no avetts this year but the next new thing might be. http://lineup.bristolrhythm.com. they were in the small print at this fest a few years back. checking out some of the acts i don't recognize and i find this: . gonna have to see a set of his just to hopefully hear this one done.

The Poojer Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Lucinda Williams & enter the haggis are both awesome! no avetts this year but the next new thing might be. http://lineup.bristolrhythm.com. they were in the small print at this fest a few years back. checking out some of the acts i don't recognize and i find this: . gonna have to see a set of his just to hopefully hear this one done.
NoSaint Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) http://www.will-johnson.com/tour/ I've recommended him before- will Johnson (of centromatic and about a dozen other bands) is doing another living room tour. Literally fans volunteer a house, you sit on their couch and he plays acoustic in the living room. In buffalo on this one- buy tickets. (Also Philly, pooj) Here's an example: Edited September 19, 2013 by NoSaint

birdog1960 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 top candidate for a avett like ascendence from last night. from newfoundland, of all places. a bit more paul simon like than avett like but really good imo.
The Poojer Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I hear alot in that song...paul simon, frightened rabbit, vampire weekend, mumford. It sounds good...keep reporting back.
birdog1960 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I hear alot in that song...paul simon, frightened rabbit, vampire weekend, mumford. It sounds good...keep reporting back. ok, then: amber rubarth does some nice gypsy jazz and did a song called novacaine where percussion was provided by a tap dancer. worked very well. lucinda williams was drunk, unpracticed or both - phoned it in. disappointing.

Lucinda just did back to back nights here at tipitinas last week. Inducted in the Louisiana music hall of fame the second night - didnt hear any poor reviews, whatever that leads you to decide (likely well practiced)
birdog1960 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Lucinda just did back to back nights here at tipitinas last week. Inducted in the Louisiana music hall of fame the second night - didnt hear any poor reviews, whatever that leads you to decide (likely well practiced) then, i don't know. saw her walking through the festival in front of us well before her set and she seemed fine. opened with "can't let go" and it was plain awful. slow yet still out of time and her voice wavered all over the place. my wife said let's go or maybe "we can let go" half way through the song but we listened some more and it didn't get any better. walking away, she sounded worse. maybe,it's in comparison to the young up and comers that are hungry, tight and and highly motivated. maybe it was just a bad night or she needed some rest. maybe it's us. she was the least impressive act i saw last night. great tribute to levon helm tonight. they couldn't fit anymore artists on the stage. at least 30 with a full brass section and the entire crowd joining in for "tennessee" and "the night they drove old dixie down".
The Poojer Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Deer Tick has a new album out, what i've heard sounds great..here they are on Conan http://teamcoco.com/video/deer-tick-the-dream-is-in-the-ditch-09-25-13

ChevyVanMiller Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks for all of the new music suggestions in this thread. I'm excited to discover some of the new bands you guys are suggesting.

This link is his recent chapel session (some real good solo accoustic material) and a little write up Edited October 8, 2013 by NoSaint
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Anyone listen to the Avett Brothers new album? Thoughts? I've heard a couple songs, and quite honestly, haven't been thrilled. Interested to hear what other people think.
