The new/old sound of the South: Jake Quillin

I had the pleasure of catching the soulful young songwriter Jake Quillin, who hails from Johnson City, Tennessee, but made the move to Dallas, Texas recently. Our introduction was made through a mutual friend that has been a regular face…

Passafire at Gas Monkey Bar & Grill – Dallas, Texas

Savannah’s own Passafire (everyone has moved away to other locales, but miss the lowcountry home that was their genesis) has been on another summer tour with fellow road-dogs Ballyhoo and Kash’d Out. Yesterday I had the chance to catch up…

Savannah’s favorite crooner, Trae Gurley, performed for a packed house with his all-star band at Trinity Sanctuary Concerts last night. The event was called ‘How Great Thou Art’ after Elvis Presley’s gospel album of the same name. Trae sang with…

5 Questions with Rachael Petit of Cold Heart Canyon – interview & photos

In anticipation of another good evening of music coming up this Thursday at Sentient Bean, I asked my buddy, and the ‘Gal’ leading the guys at Gents & Gal In The Round a few questions. She’s got plenty to say,…

Key Change Cabaret – Go Your Own Way – photos

Last week’s sold-out show by Key Change Cabaret was slightly different than normal performances, in that it was dedicated solely to Fleetwood Mac material; hence ‘Go Your Own Way’. This was the final summer gig for the Cabaret, and while…
