Keith Sykes
Aug 2, 2010 | 0 commentsKeith Sykes wears many hats in the music industry: singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, record company executive, etc. For 30 years, Keith has been a defining force in a business that for him continues to be first and foremost a passion. The fact that he’s able to make a living doing what he loves is just a bonus. Nearly 30 years ago, a young Keith Sykes walked into a pawn shop on Memphis’ famed Beale Street and paid $20 for his first guitar. Since then, Sykes has made a name for himself as a guitarist/ songwriter/ producer extraordinaire, contributing to projects from artists as diverse as Jimmy Buffett, John Prine, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Todd Snider, Rosanne Cash and Patty Loveless. visit his website:http://www.keithsykes.com/ Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 day of...
Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore
Aug 2, 2010 | 0 comments”Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore are two national musical treasures. Combining blues and bluegrass (and everything in-between) with their soulful voices and stunning instrumental chops, Mollie and Rich are a constant source of joy and inspiration to me. They are truly among the best out there keeping American music alive and vital.” – Dave Alvin Mollie O’Brien sings. Does she ever. Jazz, R&B, blues, gospel, southern mountain traditional — you name it. And she approaches each with an ease that makes you think she was steeped in the style since the first time a note left her throat.

She listened to singers — Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins, Bonnie Raitt and Dinah Washington, Streisand, Sinatra, and Betty Carter — and took voice lessons. Later, with her...
Darden Smith CD Release
Aug 2, 2010 | 0 commentsThe place you never get to. With Marathon, his latest release, Darden Smith evocatively captures the enduring allure in pursuing answers we never find. Inspired by the stark, spacious mood of the American West, Marathon is the most exceptional work to date in the Austin-based musician’s 25-year career. “For me, Marathon is a place of mind,” Smith says. “Somewhere I wanted to go, and a place I could never reach. The desert reminds me of that: It’s barren, and it’s harsh. You’re alone out there. It’s daunting – but I’m drawn to it.” The elegant sweep of Marathon indeed evokes images of a foreboding vista, from the opening of “Sierra Diablo” to the aptly titled “75 Miles of Nothing.” And while it readily recalls the desolate landscape of West Texas, Marathon is, ultimately, about the landscape within. From its fluid acoustic guitar base and soaring pedal steel to its delicate piano interludes, Marathon broadly embodies the intimidating – and intimate –...
