Video in Elevate Film Festival Coming up... 2/16: Indigo Girls “What Are You Like”, Matt Duke “Sex and Reruns” Ben Kweller changes his tune with Many more dates for Dar Williams Changing Horses, and critics love it “It’s easy to see what Evan Dando saw in Ben Kweller - The Lemonheads’ mainman was one of the singer- songwriter’s earliest champions, and it was clear on Kweller’s early albums that they were kindred spirits. Here, though, he shows that not only does he have Dando’s knack for writing hummable pop, he’s also allowed the spirit of alt.country legend Gram Parsons to influence him. Or maybe he just listened to * = w/Joshua Radin 3/7 Brownfield, ME the Fleet Foxes album loads. Whatever’s encouraged 2/4 St. Petersburg, FL* 3/11 New York, NY Kweller’s more rustic approach, it’s resulted in the 2/5 Gainesville, FL* (REM trib. @ Carn. Hall) Texan’s strongest set of songs yet. In particular, ‘Ballad 2/6 Jacksonville, FL* 3/12 Harrisburg, PA of Wendy Baker’ and the insanely catchy ‘On Her 2/7 New Orleans, LA* 3/13 Teaneck, NJ Own’ showcase his more heartfelt, ‘traditional’ sound. 3/5 Burlington, VT 3/14 Bayshore, NY Mr. Dando would be proud.” - NME 3/6 Rockland, ME 3/15 Ridgefield, CT Glowing reviews tell the Truth about Ruthie Foster’s new album “The truth, according to this remarkable album [The Truth According To Ruthie Foster], is that Ruthie Foster is one of America’s finest soul-blues artists…but it wasn’t until 2007’s The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster that the world took notice. This follow-up is even better. Producer Chris Goldsmith, who helms the famed Ardent Studios board in Memphis, brought in the legendary Jim Dickinson to play keyboards along with guitarist Robben Ford and the Memphis Horns. The result is a full-on blast of soul and blues that mixes some of Foster’s finest self-penned material with tunes made famous by O.V. Wright (a stunning ‘A Nickel and a Nail’) and Ann Peebles (‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On’) along with more obscure gems by Patty Griffin and Eric Bibb. The combination of a talented band, powerful songs, and Foster’s roaring, gospel-inspired vocals leaves Truth with no weak spots among it’s dozen track. Throughout the album, the sound is crisp, the playing and production top-notch. If this one doesn’t elevate Foster to the next level of popularity, it’s impossible to imagine what will.” - Blues Revue The Duhks celebrate another Juno nomination The Duhks are celebrating another Juno nomination this week! Their latest album, Fast Paced World, has been nominated in the ROOTS & TRADITIONAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR/GROUP category! Winners will be declared on March 28. Fingers crossed!
