Just to clarify, Rod, there are no subscribers to this site; it doesn't operate on a paid-subscription basis. And the number of eyes that gaze this site can in fact be very accurately counted. That's a big part of what web-technology is…

Great piece Peter. My wife and I had a similar experience a couple years ago when we saw Levon Helm open for Phil Lesh during the afternoon and walked across the street after his set to see Chuck Prophet at a Rib fest. A memorable night of great…

I will be attending Patty's show in Pittsburgh this Sunday. It isn't clear if Buddy will get his own set or not. I surely hope so. As part of our Three River's Arts Festival the show is free, so it is possible that he may not get the…

Great write-up. I was at the Buddy/Patty show and it was magical. I can't believe that Richmond got her, Escovedo (who I need to know more about), and Del McCoury on the same night. We've never been such a hotbed before!

Thanks, Peter. Very nice write up. Glad things turned out like they did. Must have made for one heck of a night.

Amazing how magical a night of music can be. There are people out there that have no interest in seeing live music. Don't even listen to music on a regular basis. Some not at all. Couldn't care less. I do not understand them.

Dueling ND Artists of the Decade in Richmond

A three-hour drive up the road afforded the opportunity to catch both Alejandro Escovedo (the No Depression print magazine's artist of the decade for the 1990s) and Buddy Miller (our artist of the decade for the 2000s, in our final print issue) on the same night, at different venues, in Richmond, Virginia. So I took it.Timing turned out to be a little tricky, as both shows were early-starts; thus, I ended up seeing Alejandro's first set and part of his second at the impressive Virginia Museum…See More

Steve Forbert: "Love's a Purple State of Mind...."

A few days ago I recycled an old blog-post (one of a fair bundle that Grant and I wrote circa 2007-2008 that didn't end up making the transition to this iteration of the ND site) over on my personal blog, That Magnificent Ghost. It involved the exemplary 2008 documentary film Purple State Of Mind, made by Craig Detweiler and John Marks, the latter of whom ended up writing a…See More

Karla Bonoff live review

KARLA BONOFF

ArtsCenter (Carrboro, NC)

February 13, 2010



By Peter Blackstock



"That was scary. I haven't played that song in about 25 years," Karla Bonoff confided to the crowd of a couple hundred after performing "Only A Fool". It was a surprising revelation, given that the song is one of the better-known tracks from her 1979 sophomore album Restless Nights. What prompted Bonoff to mothball it for a quarter-century is unclear, but let it be said that the… Continue
