Greensky Bluegras & Holly Bowling 11.18.21

Crystal Ballroom Portland, OR Words & Photos by Alexander Zettas ( WithinTheSound Studios ) Riding high in anticipation for an upcoming album release, Greensky Bluegrass are wrapping up their west coast leg of tour with support from the virtuosic pianist Holly Bowling. On the sixth date on tour they visited the iconic Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on November 18th. As the show opened and fans eagerly waited in line outside the venue to present proof of vaccinations and testings, it was clear that they had been awaiting a musical reunion dear to their hearts. With a band that has only been able to share live stream performances throughout the pandemic. This was a very special night. These live stream performances have kept the band sharp. This was clear right out of the gates as they opened with “Run or Die.” A track that was also featured on Volume 4 of their Leap Year Sessions . The Leap Year Sessions being a culmination of streamed performances throughout the past 2 years rel

Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio & War on Women 11.19.21

Fillmore Auditorium Denver, CO Words by Martin Smith ( Whiskey & Wax Trax ) Photos by Melissa Evans ( Medoesphotos ) Friday night at the Fillmore in Denver was a sampling of many different punk styles. Bad Religion brought their more polished intellectual punk rock that they have been performing for the last 40 years. Alkaline Trio brought that anthem punk rock sound they perfected over the last 25 years. And War on Women, a female led hardcore band, brought one of best hardcore sets I have ever seen. All together they made for an amazing night of moshing-crowd-surfing punk rock. Bad Religion is nerdy punk rock in the best way imaginable singing about politics, religion, science and society in brainy ways. Frontman, Greg Graffin, is a gifted songwriter but is also an evolutionary biologist, college professor, and author. Their set was filled with some of their more well known hits over the years like “We’re Only Gonna Die” and “21st Century Digital Boy." There were some crowd

Bela Fleck's My Bluegrass Heart

Words by Brad Yeakel Banjo virtuoso, Bela Fleck’s newest album, My Bluegrass Heart lives up to the unfathomably   high bar set by his previous works. The album, dedicated to Chick Corea (Return to Forever, et al), and Tony Rice (The New South, etc.), is an invigorating collection of instrumentals with a staggering array of featured talent. With Fleck at the helm, everyone plays at an elevated level, and it’s obvious there are no slouches on the roster. The first track, “Vertigo,” benefits from the added talents of Sam Bush (New Grass Revival), Bryan Sutton (Hot Rize), Stuart Duncan (Nashville Bluegrass Band), and Edgar Meyer (Goat Rodeo). The precision, speed, and complexity are immediately apparent as the album roars to life with a vivid flurry of banjo-based structure. Quickly “Vertigo” takes on the dizzying nature and breakneck pace of a bluegrass carnival ride gone rogue. The features sling hot licks on this and every other track. “The Old North Woods” pares things back to the hou
