Concert Review: Jack White at Firefly Music Festival in Dover

Jack White has been a very busy man. Since the White Stripes officially disbanded in February of last year, he seems to have answered the nagging question of what was next. In the time since Icky Thump was released (2007), White has been occupying himself with side projects (Racounteurs, The Dead Weather), producing albums for

Concert Review: Slayer at Mayhem Festival in Atlanta

The crowds at Atlanta’s Mayhem Festival survived the onslaught of heavy hitting bands who rocked the Jaegermeister and Sumerian Records stages. As evening crept closer to Slipknot’s closing bell, the crowd found their feet and displayed the horns when friggin’ Slayer mounted the stage. I can’t think of a better band to setup the closer

Concert Review: Norah Jones at Fox Theatre in Atlanta

The first time I saw Norah Jones live was March 2002 at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. Her debut album, Come Away with Me, had just been released and had yet to spiral into the Grammy-winning, sales behemoth that it would ultimately become. With a 1000-seat capacity, Variety Playhouse was the largest venue she had played

Concert Review: Sheryl Crow at BamaJam Music Festival

As BamaJam’s only female headliner, Sheryl Crow took the stage Saturday night, riding the wave of energy from a performance by Enterprise native Jamey Johnson and the anticipation of southern rock king, Kid Rock. The festival atmosphere was completely professional Saturday, as parking, security, and entry were a breeze, ensuring the crowd ample time to

Concert Review: Kid Rock at BamaJam Music Festival

He may not be a native son of Alabama but his Detroit heart-and-soul music just seems bred for Southern Rock. He certainly dressed the part, decked out in a custom Crimson Tide

Concert Review: Zac Brown Band at BamaJam in Enterprise

The rains had passed over Enterprise, Alabama on Friday and it was time to truly kick off the music of the BamaJam Music Festival. The afternoon saw performances by up-and-coming NEEDTOBREATHE, ‘Idol’ beefcake Casey James, as well as country icon Alan Jackson, but the headlining spot was reserved for the Atlanta-boys who have taken country

Concert Review: Tim McGraw at BamaJam in Enterprise

Not even a southern storm could stop country superstar Tim McGraw from performing his heart out last night at the BamaJam Music Festival in Enterprise, Alabama. After an afternoon wrought with chaos that blew a transformer, damaged the stage, and soiled most of the scheduled acts’ equipment, BamaJam Farm was evacuated to the parking areas

Album Review: John Mayer ‘Born and Raised’

“John Mayer is an asshole.” This is the rather blunt statement I heard from a lady between sets at the Beale Street Music Festival. Strangely this seems to be the popular sentiment leveled on the beleaguered singer-songwriter since his epic implosion within the pages of Playboy and Rolling Stone. He got caught up in the
