Summer Shows


School is almost over and it time to start thinking about some summer shows. I've been kind of putting off getting tickets this year, mainly because I hate outdoor shows. So there are finally a bunch of good shows coming to some indoor venues around NY.

moe at The Theatre at Westbury
Widespread Panic at Radio City Music Hall
Railroad Earth at The Fillmore at Irving Place
Rush at Jones Beach
Tommy Emmanuel at BB King's
Willie Nelson and Levon Helm at Radio City Music Hall

July is going to be most enjoyable!

Chad Price

I have to admit I totally missed Drag The River. I am making up for lost time. Thankfully the internet is the ultimate music finder. Far too many bands get buried in the "punk" section at my local indie store and I never look in that area. Too many "my girlfriend hates me so I sing about it in a whiny out of key voice while my dirty hair hangs in my eyes" types of bands.

So I have found out I've been missing out on Drag The River. I have made up for lost time. I am now branching out into solo albums. Chad Price released "Smile Sweet Face" last fall and it is simply amazing. Great, great songs. This is exactly what I look for in "alt-country". Here are a few tracks from some solo shows last fall. Check 'em out.










If you like this check the album out. Pretty damn good.

Back to Normal

I've been feeling a little bit old of late. Spent the past few weeks living through some musical ADD. I get that way. Whenever I am feeling a little "mature" I tend to go off the deep end and re-do the iPod. Now Bigelf is a lot of fun and I like the new Wolfmother, once in a while. So I am back to normal. Just got some great new releases that I will be commenting on over the next few days. For those of you who actually read this, thanks for your patience. By the way, old doesn't suck.
