Weekend Previews From A Kentucky Newspaper

Blues, LMNEditor Comments Off
Dec 102010

    Gannett’s local profit center has a few recommendations fer ya for this weekend, should you decide to brave the inclement weather. First up, Duke Robillard at Jim Porter’s tonight. We agree.

    There are several reviews of national act CD and J. L. Puckett forces himself to tout Garth Brooks’ Nashville benefit concert, though not without several snide remarks along the way.

    For reasons that make sense only if you believe having a ton of money in the bank upgrades the status of your entertainment choices, the Bach Society’s presentation of Handel’s “Messiah,” with a new conductor, is written up in the “Arts” rather than “Music” section. (Lumpen need attend only to improve their moral quality.)

ear X-tacy Update

Americana, Blues, Jazz, LMNEditor, Rap Comments Off
Feb 122010

The short answer to “What’s up with ear X-tacy?” is that owner John Timmons has two more months at his current location before he has to do something: move, close or renegotiate the current lease, which, he said, is too much for him to pay. The problems he’s facing are the familiar ones: the economy is in the toilet, the record business is in the toilet, music fans are getting their music via the internet. He’s tapped out his personal resources, cut all the expenses that he can and is still on the bubble.

All asks for is for music fans to come to his store and buy some music. Got that?

There’s a longer piece by Eve Bohakel Lee about the press conference, posted at Louisville.com

Jul 162008

It’s dueling weekly pubs on music time - LEO’s Music issue is out and Velocity has a sampler for the cover. LEO gets the call, though, as they have a cover story on none other than Travis Meeks, a feature certain to cause some disturbances in the ether. Seems Meeks’ has Asperger’s Syndrome. It’s in-n-n-n-terresting reading.

There’s a lot more about music in the town – LEO devotes the whole issue to various aspects, so pick up a copy on read it at leoweekly.com
