Concert Review: Star 94 Jingle Jam at Gwinnett Arena in Duluth
December 14, 2012
The lights are sparkling on the tree branches and the weather is getting oh so cold so that must mean its time for the annual Star 94 holiday concert extravaganza — Jingle Jam. For many years, Jingle Jam has gathered together some of pop’s hottest acts, as well as a few fresh faces, for a
Album Review: Andrew Bird ‘Hands of Glory’
December 9, 2012
When Andrew Bird recorded Break It Yourself he found himself with a separate collection of songs along a slightly different theme, which wouldn’t have fit as well on that record. The followup EP, Hands of Glory, has a decidedly western slant to it, featuring Appalachian fiddle more strongly than the lush and soaring violin of
Album Review: Trey Anastasio ‘Traveler’
December 8, 2012
When Trey Anastasio made the decision to enter into the realm of indie rock, it can at least be said that he was in no way trepidatious about it. This album is so loaded with quirky ambience and atmospheric swells of strings that it puts bands like Arcade Fire and The National to shame, but
Concert Review: Ray Lamontagne at Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta
December 7, 2012
Since his debut release, Trouble, in 2004, Ray Lamontagne has established himself as one of the brightest stars among the new wave of folk singer-songwriters. His lyrics have a probing depth, his voice, a raspy frailty, while wielding a stage persona of an introvert trapped in an extroverted world. He is a complex man and

Tonight’s show at Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and tomorrow night’s stop at Nashville’s Ryman Theatre have been postponed. It seems Mr. Lamontagne is battling a case of strep throat that is
Album Review: Lupe Fiasco ‘Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1’
November 23, 2012
The title isn’t referring to a house party or a barbeque, but a statement made in the introduction about the malaise and lethargy of daily American life. “Food and liquor stores still occupy the block, while police and community watchmen justify why they shop.” Lupe Fiasco has a criticism for just about every aspect of
Album Review: Jason Aldean ‘Night Train’
November 23, 2012
As country singers go, Jason Aldean has a voice and a style that absolutely drip of stereotypes, laid on so thick as to seem like a caricature, but he’s so insanely good at it that nobody seems to mind that he might be playing it up a little. Maybe a lot. Night Train is his
