Hosts Vlad the Inhaler, Matthew Connor and Trey Hebron have made a deluxe weekend on the Suwannee River in Live Oak…
With 28 bands and performers and 19 DJs on hand, there is plenty, plenty to see and hear at this year’s Purple Hatter’s Ball. You might or might not know much about these nine Florida groups (plus some Atlanta boys). Forthwith a short primer about music you should check out at the 2016 PHB. Many…
Let’s just put this right out there. I have this concept about music being, “in the moment, as good as it gets.” Sometimes it’s a song, or a sequence of songs, or a set. Last night, it was the entire performance. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an evening of music I liked MORE than…
S.P.O.R.E. is invading St. Petersburg and Dunedin this weekend! S.P.O.R.E. stands for Spontaneous.Progression.Of.Recurring.Energy. And I am here to tell you that is entirely accurate.

Trey Miller just put the third Little Econ Love Fest to bed. It was nothing short of a raging success. There is something simply magical at these intimate festivals at the Maddox Ranch in Lakeland FL. I’m sure it is true of many other small venues as well, but here is my mantra: You can go…

Whatsit Entertainment has worked hard to create a superb program of music…
It is time for the fourth installment of Roosevelt Collier’s Suwannee Getdowns. The first three were tremendous successes, and now Roosevelt and friends have upped the ante: “Okay, good people. We are taking this Roosevelt Collier Suwannee GetDown/ Disc Jam to a new level. Our dear friends Vladimir Kulishevskiy (a.k.a. Vlad The Inhaler) and Megan…
