Mike Newsham Fri 14th July New Flash: We have brilliant blues American artist Mike Newsham playing for your pleasure on Friday. This guy is a complete dude. Check the video. He’s supported Jesse Malin, Sam Roberts Band, Guillemots, Laura Veirs, Deadstring Brothers, and loads more so you know he’s gonna kill it.  He’s influenced by the likes of John McLaughlin, Neil Young and the Lemonheads, as well as fusing ska and punk stylings from the likes of Paul Simon, Toots and the Maytals and The Clash – a whole bunch of people we can get behind. For just one man and a guitar, Mike’s live shows are "like watching a young Ryan Adams on speed" playing as if it’s his last day on earth, wowing the crowd with a seamless blend of quiet brooding songs of longing, to manic moments of furious acoustic playing. So pretty good then!

“Live music and whiskey tonight with Foxtrot Uniform”

The great thing about Dallas or really, any city of any worth is the creative community. Promoters and creatives alike run into each other at the stores and at restaurants; and in 2011 before we booked a duo who referred to themselves as tweed EQ, we didn’t realize what we would be witnessing. Robbie Saunders had plenty of material under that moniker and even more when we booked him again under a…

Junior Brown is HUGE

After seeing countless shows over the years I still really enjoy most of the shows I choose to go to. Rarely am I blown out of the water anymore yet I sure was last week at the Junior Brown concert which I posted on a few days before.  Somehow the guys at Callahan's in Auburn Hills, MI enticed Junior to their small (about 200) seat venue.  Junior traveled to Michigan but love of his music was already clearly here as shown by the VERY enthusiastic packed house. For those of you who aren't familiar with Junior let me 'splaine.  Back in the 80's Junior was constantly switching back and forth between guitar and steel guitar when it hit him- why not have an instrument with both.  Thus was born the "Guit-Steel" around 1985 and the  legend of Junior began. [caption id="attachment_1767" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Junior with the Guit-Steel"] [/caption] Pair the energy of the guit-steel with Brown's barritone and you have a true musical force.  His only accompanyment is bass and stripped down drum kit.  He generally switched between guitar and steel 3-4 times per song, if not more! His catalog is wide ranging, from his hero Ernest Tubb to Albert King to many of his own often humorous tunes. The show was opened up with one of Detroit's best bands The Deadstring Brothers, which I have reviewed here before! If this Austin native comes anywhere near you make sure you go and find out "what BROWN can do for you!"
