Step back from that ledge, my friend. No need to worry. The wait is almost over. Third Eye Blind is coming here on Tuesday.
Well, as we eluded to in this week’s Listen Here! music column, there simply wasn’t enough room to include all of the details from our e-mail conversation with Brad Hargreaves, the drummer [...]
George Winston must not have been content mastering one style of piano.
So he learned three of them.
The pianist is accomplished as a stride player (think Fats Waller), on New Orleans piano (think Dr. John or Professor Longhair) and a pop style of his own creation he likes to call rustic folk.
He has recorded solo piano [...]
Marshal Tucker (one L) is real.
But look for him onstage tonight (Sept. 25) at the Arkansas Music Pavilion, and you won’t find him.
He had previously rented a space in Spartanburg, S.C., that a new band had taken over. The band found his name on a set of keys, added an ‘L’ and used it as [...]
For as dark and gloomy as he sounded on “Swoon,” the April album from Los Angeles band Silversun Pickups, lead singer Brian Aubert was sure cheery on the phone.
From a hotel room in Cincinnati, where his band was to perform later than night, Aubert told jokes, shared at his excitement in seeing the Ozarks for [...]
If there was ever a time that David Garrett did not know how to play the violin, he doesn’t remember it.
That’s primarily because Garrett, a German-born violin prodigy, has been playing since he was 4 years old.
Now 28, Garrett has established himself as one of the brightest stars in the classical music scene. He is [...]
Hurt is not a band that can be accused of being content or of standing still.
Speaking by phone from Hilton Head, S.C. on a rare day off from touring, bassist Rek (pronounced “Rick”) Mohr told the Northwest Arkansas Times about joining the band (he booked a one-way ticket for the audition), about the rock ‘n’ [...]
The Avett Brothers are moving onward and upward. Here, they sing a song called “November Blue,” a tune about leaving. They perform tonight at the Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival.
It’s been a slow and steady climb to success for The Avett Brothers.
They started gigging in their native North Carolina as a rootsy respite from a [...]
Later tonight (Aug. 7), for the first time in about five years, the Drive-By Truckers will play in Fayetteville.
A lot is the same for the band. They remain critical darlings. They are a sought-after live act. They represent the South.
But a lot has changed, too. Most notably, songwriter (and ex-husband to the DBT’s bassist Shonna [...]
Ryan Bingham photo by Anna Axter, Special to the Times
Ryan Bingham’s life sounds a little bit like something that would have been featured in a country music song.
He came from a broken family. He ran away from his New Mexico home and traveled the country as a professional bull rider. He found he had an [...]
This shouldn’t come as news to anyone, as it’s been dominating news coverage since it happened yesterday afternoon.
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died yesterday. Although details about his unexpected death are still to come, early indications point toward cardiac arrest. He was 50.
Clearly, his influence on — and for a time, dominance of — [...]
