    With swirling thunder and wisps of sunlight, Chris Bramble Band’s music revels in contradiction, weaving disparate strands into an improbable and yet surprisingly natural musical tapestry. One moment the delicate strains of an Appalachian ballad emanate from the stage, the next a soaring electronic wail. The inspiration remains the same, though: a heart rooted in ancient traditions of spiritual yearning and yet embracing this edgy modern world we find ourselves in, dancing all the while.

When they decide to grace the US with their presence, The NMS tend to visit only a handful of locations, saving the bulk of their tour for venues across the pond. Luckily, they have taken to Colorado. Colorado, it seems, is also taking to them.

Both talented songwriters, their original tunes have been described as "old-timey with smokin' hooks". Whether a rockin' hoe down or a tasty ballad, their songs are uplifting, sometimes poignant, and often sound like they could have been written a hundred years ago.

Currently, Codename is flying under the radar mostly at local venues until a couple of the band members finish graduate school. According to their manager, Alex Joffe, brother of guitar player Jon, by the summer of 2009 this band should be touring the country with a heavy dose of experience and songs. I am looking forward to that summer.

  • New(ish) Music Review: 'Year of the Crow' by State Radio
    A recent favorite in my personal palette of rebel rock is State Radio’s newest album, Year of the Crow. Although not a new record per say (it was released back in February of this year), it deserves to be acknowledged in what is possibly the most important election season of my time. Year of the Crow is a no-holds-barred criticism of everything to do with the current ruling administration, touching on such dare-not-speak-its-name issues as the torture of uncharged political prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, the CIA’s new “right” to spy on its own people, and the idea of America as an Imperial force, and not the gallant freedom fighter some politicians make us out to be. Some people would call such criticisms unpatriotic, but these things need to be said. Our government is only as evil as its people will allow it to be, and ignorance and complacency are the only real treasons in our fine country.

    Opportunity – This is the reason why many of our ancestors came to the United States. When they arrived here, more than likely they came through Ellis Island. Trey Anastasio touched upon this in his set on the final day of the festival, while explaining how his grandfather made this pilgrimage in 1910 from Italy before playing “Drifting.” Nicole Atkins also remarked about the beautiful location of this festival with clear views of the Statue of Liberty and the New York City skyline. She said, “Look at the view. It’s cool because we’re from New Jersey, and we’re pointing at Lady Liberty’s ass.” The festival’s name originates from the fact that immigrants who came to Ellis Island would go to the Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal, which is located on Liberty State Park, and then hop upon trains labeled “all points west.”

An intimate, small-venue experience with the cool artsy atmosphere of rest of the fest perfect for morning yoga and late, late night partying.

    Summer seems to be coming quickly to a close, and the end of festival season is in sight. This summer was somewhat special, as I was able to witness the birth of two new music festivals onto the scene. In July it was the mega-sized Mile High Music Festival, and on August 16th and 17th the smaller, cozier Jackson Hole Music Festival. Set in Teton Village, at the foot of the Jackson Hole ski resort, and only a stone’s throw away from Grand Teton National Park, I can’t imagine a more beautiful location for a musical weekend. Over the course of two days, ten bands shared a single stage, playing to a crowd of only a few thousand people who danced, drank local Wyoming beer, ate organic pizza, and basked in the fantastic vistas and warm, clear skies.

  • Crossroads - the World of Hasil Atkins and Cuzn Wildweed
    But Hasil Atkins was anything but an average person, as a new documentary about him by film-maker, musician and painter Ron Smith, (aka Cuzn Wildweed), reflects. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Smith about Hasil, their music and the film, “My Blue Star”. It was just screened at the Deep Blues Festival in Minnesota, where it won in the Trailers category and the Don't Knock the Rock Festival in Hollywood.

  • Rothbury: Thursday with the Biscuits, EOTO, Lotus & Others
    The funky, jammy, L.A. based Underground Orchestra proved to be a good start to the music of the weekend before the chaos started. Anthony Rogers-Wright proved to be an entertaining bassist and just one component of this group. Sam Feldman plays the mandolin, which I love, so this group had an instant in. The rest of the guys obviously enjoyed their time @ the Domes together, but those two were my favs of this newly discovered group, both for me and lots of others from the sound of it. Not only did I talk to several people over the course of the weekend that mentioned that these guys were a great new find for them but their Myspace site boasts several comments from converts.

  • Jackson Hole Festival Part II
    I woke up in Grand Teton National Park to the sounds of crazy mountain birds, and was glad not to have been eaten by bears or wolves during the night. The festival itself provides no camping but there is plenty to be found in the park and in the surrounding forests. On the drive to the festival grounds, I saw a moose, and nearly 30 people taking a picture of it. There was a lot to look forward to, and anyway I’ve seen moose before, so I didn’t stop until I hit Teton Village.

  • My Morning Jacket Lands at Red Rocks
    On Thursday, August 21, My Morning Jacket played Red Rocks, supported by the Black Keys. Both bands have only recently garnered any mainstream attention, and what attention exists is fleeting, and each has yet to become a household name, but persistence and growth is a quality shared by both. Having worked their ways up from obscurity over a great many years, and churning out quality work in the studio along the way, both My Morning Jacket and the Black Keys have built large cult followings, and each seems primed to explode at any minute.

New York City based band Licorice will unveiled their first EP A Million Grains of Sand with a release party at NYC’s Knitting Factory on Wednesday, April 23rd. The 7-song EP was recorded in 2007 at Bushwick Studio in Brooklyn, NY, with acclaimed engineer/ co-producer Joshua Kessler. The band performed two sets in what was their 2nd appearance on the Knitting Factory’s Main Stage. The evening also featured performances by fellow Jambands.com “New Groove of the Month” Buzz Universe (2008 Jammy nominee), as well as The Courtesy Tier.

 

The roots-rock and jazz quartet Licorice is a true jam band juggernaut. Featuring Joshua Bloom on drums and vocals, Matthew Epstein on bass, David Lott on lead vocals and guitar, and Chad Dinzes on vocals and keyboards, the Licorice sound starts in rock, funk, and reggae but always ends up somewhere in between, regularly deployed to sold-out crowds at the Blue Note, Lion's Den, Knitting Factory, and The Bitter End. Jazz legends like Larry Coryell, Mike Dillon, Adam Deitch and Roy Hargrove have all shared the stage with the up and comers.
