Night Moves Live In Studio
The term psychedelic-country is an unusual and seemingly arbitrary genre tag used to describe the music of Minneapolis band Night Moves that didn’t quite make sense until I actually saw them in person. The description of their music manifested itself in their presence more obviously than in their music, with their style being half hippy, [...]
Butterworth & Co. Live In Studio
It was hard to guess what type of music local Boston act Butterworth & Co were going to play when they arrived at the WERS studio. With one member wearing a Run DMC shirt, another wearing a paperboy hat, and another wearing a flannel shirt circa 1992, it was really anyone’s guess. The band kicked [...]

“Bucket List” Day at SXSW
I’ll probably think of my last day at SXSW as the “bucket list” day. That is to say that I crossed a whole lot of names off of the mental list of artists that I’d love to see but never had. Just on Friday alone I saw Emmylou Harris, Divine Fits (who I interviewed on [...]
Charles Bradley and Kendrick Lamar
I woke up and was on a mission to see and do as much as possible. I started my day with the panel “Brands Are Music Fans Too.” This revolved around the concept of artists finding organic connections with brands and creating a mutually beneficial working partnership. After that panel was over I headed to [...]
