Phoebe Hunt of Phoebe Hunt and The Gatherers is a singer/violinist/songwriter with a big heart and a great voice that makes music with a message and that inspires. I caught up with her at this year’s Bourbon and Beyond festival in Louisville.  

Modest Mouse is headed to Taft Theatre this Friday! Modest Mouse formed in 1993 and over the last decade has become the indie rock standard; one of few bands capable of treading the narrow path where massive popularity is possible without sacrificing longtime fans. 

Trampled By Turtles will be at Taft Theatre this Sunday in support of their long-awaited new album Life Is Good On The Open Road. After an indefinite hiatus, the group returns with their first new album in four years, consisting of 12 new songs that feature Trampled By Turtles’ signature blend of rock, folk, punk, country and their brand of progressive bluegrass. 

The set itself played to new and old fans. I think the shows are just as much for Matt & Kim as they are for the people who listen to the music. And I sincerely appreciated that.
