I’ll be at SPACE tonight for Communion Music’s big US tour.  And I’m thinking about trying to figure out a way to make it out to Berwyn to see the Blind Boys of Alabama.  It’ll be a heck of a road trip-via-public transportation, that’s for sure. Monday, October 31 Matthew and the Atlas, The David […]

The trio steps into an old tradition of storytelling and instrument swapping. Genuine Negro Jig is a bonafide bluegrass record; even their cover of 2001 pop hit “Hit ‘Em Up Style†sounds like it’s straight out of a scratchy 1920’s record.
