Nevereven: The Progress of Disaster Album Review

Nevereven: The Progress of Disaster Album Review

Posted February 15, 2012 at 10:15 am | No comments

After being together as a band for ten years, modern rockers Nevereven have grown as both individual musicians and as a unit as a whole. There are experiences, both personal and musical, that can only be learned by spending years in the jam room, on stage and in the recording studio together, and Nevereven have not only been outlasting many other modern rock bands, they have been growing as a unit the whole time. With a decade of gigs, jams and recording sessions behind them, the group brings their mature sound to their latest record, 2011’s The Progress of Disaster, a five-song EP filled with hard-rockin’, no holds barred tracks.

Free and Bad Company’s Simon Kirke at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp

Free and Bad Company’s Simon Kirke at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp

Posted January 23, 2012 at 6:57 am | No comments

It’s London, May 28, 2007 and I’m with a rock icon, drummer Simon Kirke, the backseat driver of two legendary hard rock bands, Free and Bad Company. People know Simon as “the drummer”, but hand the softly spoken Englishman a guitar and he’ll pull out the stops. He is also an accomplished singer and songwriter equally adept at piano and on guitar. Before he helped found the group Free, he could be heard pounding his U.K made Hayman drum kit with an actor’s son and child prodigy blues guitarist, Paul Kossoff in a group named Black Cat Bones.

Album Review: John Scofield – A Moment’s Peace

John Scofield is a fellow guitarist whose recordings I am always pleased to see hit my mailbox for review. His albums are always interesting and varied musically. There is no doubt that Scofield not only enjoys many genres, and he is more than capable of proving quality music in them as well.

Dave Matthews Band Caravan Highlights and Lots of Photos

Dave Matthews Band Caravan Highlights and Lots of Photos

Posted July 18, 2011 at 9:47 am | No comments

As I’ve already detailed, the festival grounds for Dave Matthews Band Caravan in Chicago left a lot to be desired, including not having to dig wood chips out of my shoes every two minutes. Other complaints were transportation, food and beverage prices (although that’s a constant for every festival ever), sound bleeding, and scheduling, but the lineup is most definitely not on that list.
