  • And the Band Played on Pdf
    And the band played on pdf Continue Music fans were sad to learn that Tom Petty passed away at the age of 66 on Monday night. The musician became famous for his successful career as a solo artist, but worked with several bands, including The Heartbreakers. Who the Heartbreakers were Tom Petty showed they were more than a band. They were the longest-running group Petty had worked with, playing together since 1976. Since then, Petty has released more than a dozen albums, either in collaboration with The Heartbreakers or prominently. Together, the band is recognizable for some of Petty's favorite hits, including Mary Jane's Last Dance and American Girl. The introduction to American Girl has probably stuck in your head since the first time you heard it, but for some reason, you just never get tired of it. You have Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to thank for that. Petty also collaborated with the following bands: Mudcrutch (1970-1975), the supergroup The Traveling Willburys (1988-1990). On Petty's solo albums, The Heartbreakers served as studio musicians, and were additionally supported by Petty's collaborator stable. This stable famously included musicians like Jeff Lynne and George Harrison, who were also two of the petty bandmates in Willburys Travel. Petty recorded with Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and countless other industry icons, but The Heartbreakers were his constant. According to Petty's official website, the 2017 Heartbreakers included Campbell, Trench, bassist Ron Blair, rhythm guitarist Scott Thurston and percussionist Steve Ferrone. Ferrone joined in 1994 after drummer Stan Lynch left to work on other projects.

  • Alt-Nation: Keeping It Simple
    Alt-Nation: Keeping It Simple Picked up the pieces while waiting for The $3 Bar to re-open and figured I’d recap the Newport Folk Festival. To attempt to recap the state’s biggest annual music event that featured three seven-hour days of live music happening concurrently on four stages in one paragraph is probably foolish, but I’m going to do it anyway. We all know the saying that it isn’t a “folk” fest till a metal band plays, right? Thankfully there wasn’t a long wait for that as Reignwolf took over the Quad Stage Friday to unleash a barrage of Sabbath-infused stoner rock riffs. It was like all the folk traditionalists’ who were upset by Dylan going electric worst nightmares coming to fruition. In other words, Reignwolf were awesome! Saturday’s non-headliner highlight was a tossup between the gritty southern fish and grits folk of Shovels & Rope and local heroes Deer Tick’s debut on the main stage. In addition to Deer Tick, locals featured on stages and tents included Death Vessel and Joe Fletcher. It’s good to see some of our own featured in the festival. The festival closed with the birthday girl, Mavis Staples, bringing out the sun while leading the crowd and as many musicians as they could get on stage in a sing-a-long of “I’ll Take You There” and the Pete Seeger tribute rendition of “We Shall Overcome.” Festivals can be overwhelming. Sometimes there are three different acts playing at the same time that you want to see and apparently they frown against sprinting through the crowd stiff arming anyone in your way.
