GIVERS – Bonnaroo Review
•
Indie music’s next Vampire Weekend just might be GIVERS. This Lafayette, Louisiana indie pop band played at Bonnaroo’s On Tap Lounge on Friday evening (6/10), and they were probably deserving of a larger venue at the festival. The packed crowd was moving and grooving to the sounds. Definitely a highlight of the festival for…

Freelance Whales – Bonnaroo Review
•
It’s like Sufjan Stevens met Ben Gibbard in his Postal Service days, and their love child was born as Freelance Whales. The New York based band was awesome at Bonnaroo. They took to the Sonic Stage on Friday (6/10) at 4:45pm, and played That Tent on Thursday (6/9) at 5:30pm. The set times were…

J Roddy Walston & The Business – Bonnaroo 2011
•
One of the highlights of the weekend was J Roddy Walston & The Business performing at Bonnaroo. Sandwiched between The Black Keys and Eminem’s performances, this little band that could, destroyed the tiny Cafe Where tent. The band was going crazy and the whole place was jumping around waiting for the next beat to…

The White Buffalo – Bonnaroo Review
•
Quite possibly the most underrated performer at this year’s Bonnaroo was The White Buffalo. Tucked away at the On Tap Lounge mid-afternoon on Sunday (6/12). The White Buffalo had the small sweaty crowd bouncing around with good ole fun drinking songs. I actually had to stop recording during The Bar and The Beer to…

Fences – Bonnaroo Review
•
In one of the sweetest sets of the day, Seattle band Fences took to the Sonic stage on Sunday (6/12) at 1:15 pm. Upon first look at these guys, you would have trouble expecting the sweet (Death Cab meets Elliot Smith) sound that you would be hearing. It was one of my highlights of…

The final day of Bonnaroo, and I was able to check out The Head & The Heart, Smith Westerns, Fences, Ryan Bingham, Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea, Neon Trees, Black Dub, The White Buffalo, Beirut, Cold War Kids, and the Superjam (Dr. John and Dan Auerbach w/ a guest appearance by the Preservation…

Update from Bonnaroo!
•
Properly topped. Take a look at the cover art of the album that spawned the Bonnaroo name. Same colors and design and that hat is unmistakable. Quite an homage to Dr. John. My Morning Jacket and Arcade Fire were absolutely amazing, but I was really here to see more of the smaller bands. The…

The Final Bonnaroo Preview – My Best of the Rest
•
Bonnaroo is right around the corner, and I didn’t have time to talk about everyone that I wanted. So, I will give you a “best of what’s left” list of my picks for this year’s fest. I started my Preview Series from the bottom of the Bonnaroo lineup, so please don’t think that these…
