Save, perhaps, for Bonanroo (which shares the same production team) there is no other regional festival we can say that, without a doubt, we will attend every year without fail, and can count on to be as well-curated, well-organized, and endlessly fun as Forecastle Fest. We’ve made the trip four years in a row now, falling…
Earlier this year, rising singer-songwriter Kyle Craft released his debut album, Dolls Of The Highland, to high critical acclaim. His punchy, southern-inspired sound mixes alt-rock with gospel, Motown and the blues. You’ll want to catch him live before he hits the big time, so don’t miss his set at The High Watt on August 16. You can…

The psychedelic doom-metal trio rarely ever play in the country, let alone in the middle…
Local boogie rockers Savoy Motel, made up of members of Cheap Time and Heavy Cream, have been pinging our radar for a while now, and we just can’t get enough of their new video for garage-y/glam inspired track, “Souvenir Shop Rock,” off of their upcoming self-titled debut LP, set to drop Oct. 21 via What’s…
Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir has spent his life redefining music, and he gave us a taste of that as he helped close out Bonnaroo this summer. Just on the heels of touring with Dead & Company, Weir has announced his first solo album of original material in over 30 years. What’s perhaps more…
If you are a fan of this site, you know that we have been tracking the progress of rising local indie pop duo MYZICA for some time now. They first caught our eye ahead of their debut EP last year, and now we are gearing up for the release of their debut full length,…
We’ve been following the local brother/sister outfit Pageant for a while now, and they blew us away at our No Country Presents showcase last year. Erika and Derek Porter have a musical bond that has clearly been building for years, and we’ve seen them effortlessly harmonize between genres since we first became fans. So, we…
