Forecastle Festival day 2 – photos

Day 2 of Forecastle Festival in Louisville got started an hour late because of the vicious storm the night before, and the day was blazing hot at times, but the music was even hotter. I’ll write some more commentary in…

Forecastle Festival – day 1 recap + lots of photos

What a thrill to be covering Forecastle Festival in Louisville again this year. The 3-day festival is held in downtown’s Waterfront Park, a beautifully designed space nestled along the Ohio River. Forecastle has tons of great amenities too, which I’ll…

CUSSES e.p. release with Crazy Bag Lady, The Bronzed Chorus and Fiasco – photos

All right, here’s a speedy review of the CUSSES e.p. release party for “Here Comes the Rat” at Hang Fire last weekend. Nice crowd, free cd with paid cover, cold beer and a consistently strong, interesting, and varied lineup. What’s…
