I saw State Radio years ago at Milestones, playing to a modest crowd that dug the band without having too much background, exposure, or access to the lyrics. Now on its "Lefty Rides Again" tour, the Sherborn, Massachusetts, trio has road...

Some of you probably expect me pan "Rain," as I'm not one to champion tributes and covers. However the show Friday night at the Auditorium was incredible --- not just in the dead-on mimicry, but in the way it presented The Beatles' beginning,...

How do you jam without staying at the party too long, or getting the jam all over you? You follow Pia Mater's lead. I've heard these cats in acoustic situations more than I've heard them plugged in, so I know the tunes at their barest. When a...

They were generating a mushroom cloud of steam heat last night at the Bug Jar for what was supposed to be the UV Rays' last hurrah. Singer, leader, co-conspirator Kevin Wilcox is moving to Las Vegas with his lovey-dovey this week to work with...

I often wonder what road Elvis would have gone had he not checked out on the throne back in 1977. Would he have taken up permanent residence in Las Vegas? Would he have been mentioned in the same breath as Englebert and Jones? I can practically...

Every time I look, Rochester's jam band scene is opening its ever-lovin' arms even further. Not just to welcome new fans, but new band with fresh twists on the hippie groove. One of the biggest components of this embrace is reggae, and Saturday...

Sometimes it all just falls into place. The setting, the situation, the scene, the tone -- everything's going your way. That describes last night for me. And at the heart of this mid-week Xanadu was the Rick Holland Uptown Orchestra, a modest,...

Alas, I wasn't able to pry myself from under the Christmas tree Christmas night in time to catch Velveteen Fox like I wanted. But it's just as well. You ever hear a band that's so good it makes you mad? Well, this Rochester soul-sensation...

This season, our Secret Santa (shh, don't tell - our Secret Santa is Filthy Funk) gave us the gift of "Eklectric," the new genre-spanning-but-always-groovy album from the trio. However, "trio" only begins to describe this group. Much of the...

Dashing through the snow, in my '97 Buick sleigh, I made my way to the Lovin' Cup Wednesday night, where some creatures were stirring. Not mice, though - that would violate health codes. The creatures were two a capella groups, the Smoking Hot...

The wind chill had pantsed the thermometer Thursday night, yet a few brave - or lost - souls and I made it to the Dino for Chris Beard and his stinging strings. I am now convinced there isn't a guitar neck long enough for this man, as he...

Religious overtones make me nervous. I guess I'm just used to the things that turn me on being condemned in one way or another. Even gospel -- a major component in a lot of what I dig -- sometimes flies a little to close to the "lordy, lordy"...
