Joe Fletcher & The Wrong Reasons

Hey All: If you are looking for a show to catch this weekend, highly recommend heading over to the Plough & Stars in Cambridge to see Joe Fletcher & The Wrong Reasons. His latest album, White Lighter, is a definite keeper and in steady rotation on my CD player.

Don (f/k/a DPR) replied to Tim Forsman's discussion 'Music in Foxboro area' in the group Boston Music Scene

Hey Tim, your best bet may be to check out the listings in Providence (e.g. Lupo's; Living Room; etc.). Also, check out the listings for RI bands like Joe Fletcher & The Wrong Reasons, Deer Tick, etc. as they would show good places to…

Looking forward to it. Have had this one on my calendar for awhile. Long time fan of the Steaks and new fan of Highway Ghosts. Should be a great night.

Planning to go with Lydia as well although the choice is especially tough as Jason Isbell is on the bill with Hayes as well. Have wanted to see Joe Fletcher & The Wrong Reasons for awhile now also. As an FYI, a great local…

Don (f/k/a DPR) replied to Jim Moulton's discussion 'Alright, What does anybody think of Zac Brown?'

Actually gave the album a few listens given all the hype. While I can't disagree with the sentiments expressed so far, actually like the cover of they did of Ray LaMontagne's "Jolene". Not saying it is better than the original…

Don (f/k/a DPR) commented on Tom Gray's blog post 'Our Top 10 All-Time Favorite Slide Guitarists'

Compiling a list of the greatest slide guitar players and not including Duane Allman is like listing the architectural wonders of the world, excluding the Taj Mahal, and including mobile homes.

Jeff from NH replied to Don (f/k/a DPR)'s discussion 'Deadstring Brothers @ Church' in the group Boston Music Scene

Sorry kids, but it looks like this show is no longer on the Church schedule or Deadstring Brothers websites... It was originally listed for Aug 11. Maybe drown your sorrows at Toad's Aug residency instead; Christian McNeill, Tim Gearan, Jimmy…
