13 standout Savannah shows in 2013
Check out hissing lawns’ year-end posts by Petee Worrell, Anna Chandler, Kayne Lanahan of MusicFile Productions, Tom Cartmel, and Larry Jack, who saw a mere 626 live performances at Savannah venues in 2013 . . . Here I’m focusing on…
One final Revival Fest post – lots of photos
I wrote some nice things about Revival Fest in Do this week, and I’ve already posted galleries to this blog with photos of the Cedric Burnside Project, Field Report, Whiskey Shivers, and Matrimony. So this post has some photos of…

Charlotte’s Matrimony brings the family to Revival Fest Sept. 14
Family bands such as Matrimony have always been with us, and perhaps with good reason. Siblings not only have shared DNA, but they grew up in the same household, influenced by their parents music collection, which provides a common ground…
