  • Deer Tick – Negativity
    DEER TICK – NEGATIVITY John McCauley and Deer Tick have long walked a tightwire between total despair and fractured resilience, but Negativity represents a heroic leap forward on virtually all fronts for the Providence, Rhode Island-based band. Recorded earlier this year in Portland, Oregon with legendary producer/musician Steve Berlin (The Blasters, Los Lobos, and last year’s McCauley side project, Diamond Rugs), the album –Deer Tick's fifth full-length studio release, and follow-up to 2011’s acclaimed Divine Providence – is McCauley’s most personal work thus Far as well as the band’s most undeniable and universal, their Famously Freewheeling musical approach reFined here into a gloriously cohesive whole. Negativity was penned over the course oF a genuinely eventful 2012, an annus horribilus in which McCauley’s father pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy and tax Fraud, ultimately leading to prison. “Mr. Sticks” – which takes its title From the senior McCauley’s childhood nickname – is “about my father going to jail and all the things he may miss,” but when the son sings “With a hug and a kiss/You may say goodbye to all you've ever known,” you get the sense he might be talking to himselF. For iF that seemingly untenable situation weren’t enough, McCauley’s own personal liFe was equally shambolic, his notoriously excessive behavior and impossible liFestyle escalating to the point where his imminent wedding engagement was Finally called oFF. Like any true artist, he channeled the anger, melancholy, and regret into his work, resulting in what can be safely declared his finest collection of songs to date, impassioned and interior and increasingly mature, both as expression oF emotion as well as pure unadulterated songcraFt.

  • Tedeschi Trucks Band 2016 Wheels of Soul Summer Tour Makes 1St Stop in Rochester
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact Jeffrey Springut (585) 473-4482 [email protected] Photos/Videos/Releases RochesterEvents.com/press Tedeschi Trucks Band 2016 Wheels Of Soul Summer Tour Makes 1st Stop In Rochester Rochester, NY. Rochester Events is thrilled to announce Tedeschi Trucks Band Wheels Of Soul 2016 Summer Tour live at the Highland Bowl Friday, July 8th 2016. Gates Open at 6:00PM. Show starts at 7:00PM. Tedeschi Trucks Band brings their wildly praised Wheels of Soul tour back on the road this summer, adding Los Lobos and North Mississippi Allstars to their list of “rock ‘n soul” collaborators. Rochester’s highly regarded Highland Bowl will host the first stop on the tour. Tedeschi Trucks Band, led by the husband-and-wife team of singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi and guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks, are fresh off of their January 2016 release of Let Me Get By, their debut album for Fantasy Records. The Associated Press stated “Tedeschi Trucks Band has already released one of the great records of the year,” and following the band’s recent filming of Austin City Limits The Austin Chronicle added “There’s no contemporary match for the Tedeschi Trucks Band in that their third LP manages the nearly impossible combination of growth and improvement where none seems possible or necessary.” Since their inception in 2010, TTB have seen both of their previous albums debut in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200, and won a Grammy for their debut album Revelator, an album hailed by Rolling Stone as a “masterpiece.” They tour over 200 days of the year and have built a dedicated following around the world, one powerful performance at a time.

  • Final LOS LOBOS GATES of GOLD
    LOS LOBOS Gates of Gold “We’re a Mexican American band, and no word describes America like immigrant. Most of us are children of immigrants, so it’s perhaps natural that the songs we create celebrate America in this way.” So says Louie Perez, the “poet laureate” and primary wordsmith of Los Lobos, when describing the songs on the band’s new album, Gates of Gold. The stories on Gates of Gold are snapshots of experiences that Perez and his band mates have had, based on where they are emotionally and how they respond to evolving life circumstances. “We live out loud most of the time and share our life this way, but then there are more intrinsic things that happen, and our songs are part of the way we react to them. We sit down and basically tell people what has happened. We certainly didn’t start this project with aspirations to create the musical equivalent to great American literary works.” After celebrating their 40th anniversary with the cleverly titled 2013 live album Disconnected In New York City, the hard working, constantly touring band – David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin – leaps headfirst into their fifth decade with an invitation to join them as they open fresh and exciting new Gates of Gold, their first full length studio album since 2010’s Tin Can Trust (a Grammy nominee for Best Americana Album) and second with Savoy/429 Records. The dynamic songwriting, deeply poetic lyrics, thoughtful romantic and spiritual themes and eclectic blend of styles on the 11 track collection has resulted in an American saga in the rich literary tradition of legendary authors John Steinbeck and William Faulkner.

These groups compose original songs that weave together the sounds of the Ameri- cas, from soul, samba, and the son jarocho to reggae, rumba, and rap. Multilin- gual lyrics in Spanish, English, Cálo, or Nahuatl that speak to themes of urban exile, indigenous identity, and multiracial unity are layered over the music to produce a sonic Chicana/o imaginary of the global city in the twenty-first century.4 Several of the bands within the scene have released full-length al- bums on their own independent record labels such as Xicano Records and Film (Aztlán Underground and Quinto Sol), De Volada Records (Slowrider and Blues Experiment), and Lysa Flores’s Bring Your Love Records (see dis- cography). The bands often collaborate with one another, producing or play- ing on each other’s records and touring on the same bill.

(August 2011) Christopher Joseph Westgate, B.S., Cornell University; M.A., Columbia University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Eric W. Rothenbuhler This manuscript tells the stories of the Latin/o and general music industries in the United States from 1898 to 2000. It argues that performers transformed the local identities of aural industries based in place and melody into global industries of visual identities designed for space and celebrity. Both the Latin/o and general music industries shifted back and forth along a local-sound-to-global-sight spectrum more than once, from sounds of music rooted in specific places to sights of musicians uprooted across universal spaces between 1898 and 2000.

  • Latin American Music Notes© William Little (2008)
    Latin American Music Notes© William Little (2008) Introductory Notes Unfortunately very little is known about the music of the inhabitants of the region of the world that has come to be known as Latin America. However, some of that music found its way into the music the Latin European explorers, conquistadors, and colonists brought with them to this—to their—New World. Furthermore, due to isolation, accident, and a strong will to preserve their traditions, people from the pre-Columbian cultures that survived war, disease, oppression, and suppression were able keep some of their music alive throughout the first four centuries of contact. Then, in the twentieth century, ethnomusicologists, cultural progressives, folk humanists, and indigenous musicians themselves were able to begin performing and recording their own music again in public. Clearly, since all cultural practices change over time, much of what seems to be authentic pre-Columbian music is more likely latter-day versions of older traditions; nevertheless, it is fair to say that music scholars in the twenty-first century are able to authenticate some aspects of the pre-Latin musical traditions that prospered in the Western Hemisphere from pole to pole. When the principal Latin European countries—Spain, Portugal, and France—arrived in the Americas, they brought their own fifteenth-century music with them. For four centuries, official music in church, palace, and theater was derived from and remained closely aligned with European musical styles and tastes. As there are several themes that thread their way through the fabric of Latin American humanities, so too are there several distinctive unifying features of Latin American music.
