    Happy Elke Day! 

    Elke Celebrates Her Record Release as Meg Elsier Opens  As I stood outside The Blue Room, I felt my body battling both the 25-degree weather and the sheer excitement of the show that I was going to see.  Tonight, attached to Jack White’s Third Man Records, the shivering crowd was going to be let in…

  • Kenny Garrett Infectious at Blue Note

    Kenny Garrett Infectious at Blue Note

    Last Sunday I was able to cross a venue off my concert bucket list by going with my wife and daughter to the Blue Note in NYC. My 17-year-old loves jazz and wanted to go to a jazz club while we were visiting New York for Thanksgiving week. If you are going to go to…

  • A Space Disco with The Weird Sisters 

    A Space Disco with The Weird Sisters 

    They are the self-described “Dance Commanders” and that aptly chronicles the status of their compilations.  Funk has collided with electronica and slammed danced with jazz and soul with punk-EDM and psychedelia ploughing into the onslaught.

  • Bourbon & Beyond: Day Two

    Bourbon & Beyond: Day Two

    So now we reside in Day Two of Bourbon & Beyond. Day one nearly killed me as I realized that 10 hours standing in the sun after driving three hours to get here was too long of a day for this 50-year-old. There is nowhere to hide at this festival.  There are tents around the…

    Bourbon & Beyond: Day One

    Here I am, in my hotel room, just north of Louisville, Kentucky in Sellersberg, Indiana pondering what I have seen over the last two days.  It’s Bourbon & Beyond and it’s a lot.  According to local news sources and the Bourbon & Beyond website the festival is bringing in $12.5 million dollars in local revenue…
