Some days, it’s necessary to dig a little deeper for print news about music in the city. In today’s Gannett Louisville Profit Center, there’s a story by Martha Elson about John Gage’s health problems and the efforts to raise money to help him with them in the Neighborhoods section. (Warning: sl-o-o-o-o-o-w loading). There’s also a story about a new Drummer Superstore opening Saturday on Bardstown Road just west of Bonnycastle. This store is operated by the father and son team that have run the The Music Store, now also called Drummer Superstore, at 1122 Eastern Blvd. in Clarksville since 2001.

Thevillevoice.com has a video of an unidentified (but presumably official spokesman) gentlemen talking about a group of Iranians who came to visit the Bluegrass State in order to hear some ‘real’ bluegrass music. They went to the IBMA Bluegrass Museum in Owensboro and jammed with pickers there, then came back to Louisville and jammed with some jazz players rounded up by Jamie Aebersold. The official was really touting an unidentified organization/program that brings international visitors to the States.

People in Louisville don’t really consider Love Jones to be outliers, even though the band has long since moved out to the Left Coast, in part because Love Jones comes back to town every now and then – usually around Christmas – and fans all flock to see them. They were just back in town for the NuLu Festival and played WFPK’s “LIve Lunch” as well. Here’s an interesting and thoughtful review from TheBrownTweedSociety.com blog.
- Will Oldham got a mention in Rolling Stone’s review of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
- LiveonLetterman.com has a photo preview of My Morning Jacket’s October 12 show on Letterman.
- Rachel Grimes might not come back to the U.S. for a while. She’s added shows in Firenze, Italy, and at Associazione Musicale Etnea in Catania, in Sicily, well into November.
