It’s time for Throwback Thursday. I know, I know; it’s Wednesday. But the show from six months ago is directly related to this Thursday’s show, so we’re doing this today. The show this Thursday at the Dunedin Brewery features The Reality and Cosmic Groove Ensemble. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t miss this show….
I am ashamed to admit that I published an untruth last week. My article about Holey Miss Moley on November 23rd at the Ringside had an error (you can read that article here). The love affair part was NOT an error. However, I announced that it was my 34th HMM show. That was a lie….
I’m involved in a love affair. With a band. Wait. Actually, I have a love affair with at least a dozen bands, because, you know, I’m polyamorous. Holy Miss Moley is near the top of my list. Last night (November 23), this excellent funk band celebrated the birthday of our beloved PK, a.k.a. James Williams,…
Suwannee Hulaween closed with a big bang on Sunday Funday, with 20 bands performing. Our full review will post later this week, but here is Sunday in outline form, sort of. Passafire opened the Amphitheater with rockin’ reggae and prog, while Aaron Lebos Reality were shredding funky fusion. El Dub then had his looper set…
Our correspondent Jeff Fernandez took these photos at the second of three shows by Widespread Panic in Milwaukee. The six-headed monster has been on fire all tour long. In particular, look at the set of tunes comprising more than half of the second set: Blight > Bear’s Gone Fishin’ > Drums > Second Skin >…
The New Mastersounds and Turkuaz just finished the October leg of their tour together last Saturday (October 22) in St. Petersburg with incredible performances from both bands. Luckily for us, The Sober Goat, aka Richie Williams, aka Shows I Go To, was there to document the amazing music. Each band played a 90-minute set, with…
Mike Bryant and the Dunedin Brewery offered up another superb Oktobeerfest last weekend (October 6-9). The brewery consistently features top national, regional and local talent with no cover for almost all events, and Oktobeerfest was no exception. Hurricane Matthew headlined Thursday. Admittedly, that was not Bryant’s plan. He had the outstanding DeadPhish Orchestra from Boulder…
If you were planning to attend a music festival in New Orleans, you would probably expect two things: great New Orleans music and great New Orleans food. Bear Creek Bayou Music Festival delivered on 50% of that. The music was absolutely mind-blowing. We’ll get to that shortly. But first, it is necessary to speculate whether…
To say that Heather Gillis has had a remarkable past twelve months would be an enormous understatement. This young lady, approaching the advanced age of 22, is about to finish her degree at FSU early while touring with Butch Trucks and the Freight Train Band and with her own band. We first became aware of…
OK, I’m not really on the Road to Pink Moon with The Bath Salt Zombies, Glostick Willy and Opposite Box, but I did get to hit two of the first shows the boys did here in Florida. Monday they hit Jacksonville, then Brunswick GA on Tuesday, and Awendaw SC on Wednesday. Then all three bands…
