Nanaimo: Songs from both of Theo Massop's releases along with a unique repertoire of pop, rock, alt-country, blues and Americana can be expected from this talented trio in Nanaimo's most intimate lounge.
Call it "The Six Degrees of Nashville." Emmylou Harris' web of musical connections is so vast and intricate it shames even Kevin Bacon, whose eponymous "Six Degrees" game unites seemingly disparate Hollywood actors in six short steps.
Guy Clark hit my radar after I got into Steve Earle in the 90’s. I started digging deeper into the “outlaw” singer/songwriters from the state of Texas. People like Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Joe Ely, and Townes Van Zandt. I still have a long way to go with exploring the rich catalogs of these guys. [...]
A zine about Steve Van Zandt, with news, pictures, and articles. [1] Van Zandt is not to be confused with similarly-named radio personality Steve Van Zandt, who is co-host of the “Steve and Jackie in the Morning” show airing on WROW in Albany, New York.

Winterberry Holly Photo by Alan Is a pretty darned weird thing to be doing. However, that is what the boss has been up to. We had so much rain this summer (I blame China ) that he and Alan had a terrible time getting in feed. Now whenever we have a day or two of decent weather he is chopping a load here and a load there, just to try to stuff enough in the bags to make it through til spring. Yesterday...
There is something slightly surreal in seeing a giant of the 60s folk revival playing to a crowd of 800 in the city hall in Salisbury. But it proved a great venue in which to see a still feisty and inspiring Joan Baez on Wednesday night. She says she has never been happier doing concerts than now, and it shows. I've been going to Baez concerts over the last two decades, and she has never been better...
I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having a serious bout of trepidation when I headed off the other night to see "Crazy Heart," the new Fox Searchlight film that stars Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake, a hard-drinking, faded...
I should start keeping track of the number of e-mail solicitations I receive each week asking me to review new music. It’s a lot, and most of them I ignore. For one thing, this is not the sort of blog that deals much in new music, and even if it was, many of the solicitations [...]
From December 1964 to December 1965 -- re-meet the Beatles as they made the transition from the world's best bar band to the forerunners of folk-rock. Has any band ever had such an astoundingly productive 12-months? Beatles for Sale (1964) Steve Earle was once asked what his “desert island pick” would be. “We're assuming I have a way to play records on the island'” he began...
Four nights ago I had the pleasure of seeing Steve Earle playing live in London. And for once I had a great seat at the gig - front row! I have to say I enjoyed it immensely when I strutted through the theatre past the lesser seats to park my backside on the front row and then neatly place my jacket and drink on the stage. Earle was pretty impressive - alone on the stage, in an auditorium that
Kelle Groom recently agreed to an interview with myself and 32 Poems . And here is what she had to say. How would you introduce yourself to a crowded room eager to hang on your every word? Are you just a poet, what else should people know about you? I also write personal essays/memoir. For the last year, I’ve been poetry editor for The Florida Review , and have now shifted into an advisory editor...
