Suwannee Hulaween 10.25 - 10.28.18

Spirit of Suwannee Music Park Live Oak, FL Words by Charla Harvey Photos by Derek Miles ( Miles Photography ) Hulaween is a festival that words just can’t do justice. (But I’m going to try). This is only their sixth year, and they sold out! First of all, Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, is absolutely beautiful. The 800-acre park is open year-round, and Hulaween only uses about eight acres of it for the festival! We were surrounded by Spanish moss-draped oak and cypress trees. The ground was mostly sand, which helped absorb some of the rainwater better than mud would have. It rained the first two days, but then it was mostly sunny in the day. It got cold at night, but most campsites had fire pits that were well-utilized. Hulaween advises people to pack for all types of weather, and thank goodness for that! Spirit of Suwanee had amazing art installations that are only put in for this festival. There are giant wooden creatures like trolls and tree people. There

Consider The Source & Genetics 11.3.18

Hodi's Half Note Fort Collins, CO Words & Photos by Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Colorado is a wonderful place for live music. It’s just that simple. The majestic beauty of the Front Range coupled with its convenience as a stopping point for any given tour means we are utterly flush with concerts most nights of the week. That also means sometimes shows don’t get the attention they deserve. There was maybe a hundred souls in and out of Hodi’s Half Note on Friday night. The fact remains that given the caliber of music on the stage this show should have been a sell out. Consider The Source is a wild ride through progressive jam music with a focus on the sounds of the Far East. Genetics puts on an utterly distinctive concert experience taking viewers on a sonic journey through a myriad of musical landscapes. Set One: Now That’s What I Call Music, Hexagonal, Harlequin, Space Peach> Massive, Air Blower, Moose Genetics offered up a fresh batch of tunes in

Billy Strings & Sammy Brue 11.1.18

Portland, OR Revolution Hall Words by Mitch Melheim Photos by Coleman Schwartz Media Less than two years ago, Billy Strings was playing a small bar in Portland named Bunk Bar, known more as a sandwich shop than a music venue. In fact, it was the first and only time I’ve ever seen a concert there. Twenty months later, he returns to town for his first headlining performance since and sells out the 850-person Revolution Hall on a weekday with Greensky Bluegrass playing just a mile away. This about sums up the fiery and flamboyant picker’s rapid rise toward the upper echelon of his genre. Never have I seen a bluegrass (or jam) musician catch on so quickly with the masses. It is unprecedented, yet well-deserved. Opening the night was seventeen year-old singer/songwriter, Sammy Brue, who Rolling Stone recently labeled an “Americana prodigy.” At eleven years old, Brue was already sharing the stage with artists like Lucinda Williams and Asleep at the Wheel. In the years since, he

High Pulp, The Cumbieros & General Mojo’s 10.31.18

Nectar Lounge Seattle, WA Words by Maximo Menchaca Photos by Papo Vazquez I have a confession to make: I hate Halloween. And it’s the one holiday I can’t escape by staying home. Going out isn’t much better – the constant question of “Where’s your costume?” would haunt me all night. The best I can do is to head to a show. Not only is it loud enough to evade any questions, but it is a music-lover’s holiday. Everyone is eager to explore: the musicians are a little looser, and so is the audience (but that might have something to with their bar tabs). Yes, even with the extra layer of extravagant costumes, there’s a closer connection and an extra electricity at a Halloween show. The Doom Funk line-up at the Nectar Lounge was no exception for 2018’s edition of All Hallow’s Eve. Three exciting local bands (General Mojo’s, Los Cumbieros, and High Pulp) provided and fed that spark in the air. After that General Mojo’s set, WOW – I am a convert. Their poppy psychedelia is captivating. T
