Not ever having heard of either band (that's right, this particular night was a double performance at Sundown.) we decided to take a chance.<br />
<br />
While the act down on the main stage was very talented musically, I couldn't help but feel that JD and the Straight Shot was just an excuse for "lead singer" Jim Dolan (Owner of NY Knicks) to get up and sing karaoke to impress potential business contact. That being said, he did surround himself with many very talented musicians, and never missed a lyric (partially because he had a screen with lyrics on it).<br />
<br />
The second group, who performed on the rooftop patio this evening, was Grant Farm, a Bluegrass Jam Band with ties to some major touring acts. These were the guys to see that night, and we knew it.<br />
<br />
Former members of Leftover Salmon, The Drew Emmitt Band, Emmitt-Nershi Band, came together to form Grant Farm; a 4-piece group from Boulder Colorado which have featured in their performances members of The String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Infamous Stringdusters, The Motet, Head For The Hills, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Tim O’Brien, Dumpstaphunk, Tony Rice, Larry Keel, Keller Williams, Jon Oates, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Disco Biscuits, Abigail Washburn and Peter Rowan.
With the help of Thorn and stellar bassist Keith Moseley of The String Cheese Incident, the electric Grant Farm started rehearsing in early 2011. Performing locally lead to a hefty festival run including Yarmonygrass, Four Corners Folk Festival, NedFest, Fort Collins Bark n’ Bluegrass, Riverfront, and Harvestival.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mRqmTnr9Qiw" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
At set break, I was able to get a short interview with the man behind the band; Tyler Grant.<br />
<br />
Scott Wayne - How long have you all been playing together?<br />
Tyler Grant - "We've been around for about three years, we started off as a Bluegrass group. Andy Thorn from Leftover Salmon and myself, we were in the Emmitt-Nershi Band and we started this as our side project. It then evolved into this sort of Rock 'n Roll/Rootsy group that it is now."<br />
<br />
SW - So this is your first time playing in Dallas?<br />
TG - "... in Texas, we're playing SXSW (South By Southwest); we're part of a group called Spokesbuzz that's based in Fort Collins, and they do a band exchange program with several different cities, Lafayette LA, Nashville, Asheville, and Fort Collins. But they also all of their groups from Colorado to SXSW for a showcase. We'll be part of the Spokesbuzz Showcase at SXSW this March. And this weekend we've got Poodie’s tomorrow night (10/12 outside of Austin), we've got the Saxon Pub in Austin on Sunday."<br />
<br />
SW - So you are doing a little Texas Run then?<br />
TG - "Yeah, and then we are opening three shows for Greensky Bluegrass in Baton Rouge, Mobile, and Memphis. And this whole tour is routing to Mulberry Mountain for The Yonder Mountain Harvest Fest. (10/17-19) It's a great festival, the same place they do Wakarusa."<br />
<br />
SW - What do you enjoy most about playing with Grant Farm?<br />
<br />
TG - "It's a fruition of all the efforts I want to put out and into the scene right now. I feel like we are giving it something that the scene needs, getting back to a little bit, kind of Rootsy, and Rock n' Roll, and Country...Of course Bluegrass influence because I am a Bluegrass guy. We're just putting it out there and trying to write the best songs we can, and really it's just happening; it's hard to explain. It's just happening and we're on the bus, love it!"<br />
<br />
Seeing as there was a noise complaint, we never did get a second set, so when the official interview ended my buddy and I chilled with the guys in the band. I am now the official authority on Grant Farm's return to DFW, as they said I'll be the first to know! Next time we will blow them away with an excellent turn out, and we'll show 'em just how much we like Jam-Grass down here in Texas!<br />

Not personally being one for the harder Rock shows, I ventured into unknown territory hoping I'd like what I found.<br />
<br />
I had never been to the Boiler Room, and I was surprised at two things; how small the venue actually was, and the quality of their house lighting and sound systems. All of their systems were excellent, the lights especially working hard to create a great show. Now, the nature of the acts that play at this venue tends to be loud, and this night was no different. It was indeed loud, but it was suiting.<br />
<br />
I got a chance to chat with this petite lady at the merch table, that just so happened to be Trica Weaver lead singer of the band I was there to see. She was very sweet, and fun, cracking jokes and having a good time. When it was time for NtD to take the stage, that fun-loving girl's demeanour changed; it was time to rock!<br />
<br />
Made up of 4 members reigning from Dallas, and formed in 2010, Nevermind The Darkness is comprised of vocalist/keys Trica Weaver, guitarist Gene Grinolds, bassist
Benjamin Bachman and Eric Sipe on drums. Drawing on a sound of hard, heavy Rock, with vocals resembling that of Heart, NtD has created a loyal following in the DFW area. On several songs, members of the audience even joined in on the vocals as if they were hardcore fans that knew the music.<br />
<br />
Upon speaking with he band, I found that these 4 individuals did not know each other before starting this musical endeavour three years ago. Their band is a product of one of the Bandmate finder sites. Needless to say, they had a distinct sound, and have a strong fan-base here in their hometown of Dallas. If you are interested in finding out about this band check out their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nevermindthedarkness">facebook page</a> and their <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/nevermindthedarkness">reverbnation page.</a><br />

This past weekend, September 6<sup>th</sup>-8<sup>th</sup>, a slew of Fort Worth music scene-sters got
together to put on an EPIC show with 23 bands covering various iconic bands
from 1965-1985. The result- one of the
best weekends in Fort Worth Music for 2013.
Music played for 8 hours, three days in a row at J&J’s Blues Bar
complete with food trucks, and great memories.
There were plenty of sponsors, including Coors Light. There were two stages, one outside with a huge
Red Bull tent and beer bar, and the one inside J&J’s. </div>

Saturday 9/7</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I arrived a bit early on Saturday, catching <a href="http://www.facebook.com/suncitymusic">Sun City</a>
covering Velvet Underground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
weren’t that many people in attendance at this point in the evening to enjoy
this band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They did a commendable job,
and really conveyed the essence of Velvet Underground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The female lead has a clear, precise voice
and it resounded outside as she sang “Sweet Nothing”, by far the best song of
their set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back inside, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/igneous.grimm?fref=ts">Igneous Grimm</a></span>
covered King Crimson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first song, “I
talked to the Wind” was by far my favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I will definitely get in the know on both King Crimson AND their local
tribute counterpart, Igneous Grimm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More
people had arrived and definitely enjoyed this performance. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Outside, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SiberianTraps">Siberian Traps</a> </span>started
their R.E.M. set and they did an amazing job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Tony Diaz, conceiver of the Fort Worth Rock Assembly event, bragged that
Siberian Traps are Fort Worth’s best kept secret.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They definitely did R.E.M. justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the guitar/vocalists, Parker,
confessed he didn’t know about R.E.M. before taking on this project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Replicating
someone else’s work, and learning a whole set of songs to perform, is
definitely not an easy task!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the
many reasons this idea is genius.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had to leave and go to work at this point, thankful the
next day I would catch all 8 hours!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Sunday 9/8</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday I arrived at J&J’s super early.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A couple of bands had dropped out, so they
pushed the start time from 3pm to 5pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Probably best because no one really showed up until then anyways.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Vatican Press</a> </span>started the day outside embodying The Clash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only did Vatican Press cover great hits
like “I Fought the Law”, but they did a few of their own songs toward the end
which I thought were awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve never
heard this band before, but they did play an original and I dug it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’re an old school punk band so it made
sense why The Clash was their choice to cover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Good to see diverse genres in the Indie Rock scene.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Inside, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thefriskydisco">The Frisky Disco</a> </span>was covering
Creedence Clearwater Revival.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hayden not
only is lead vocalist, but he plays guitar and keyboard as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is such a talented performer, very
animated with a voice of a Rock God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They covered songs like “Good Golly Miss Molly” where at one point both
Tyler and Hayden got down on the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One lady in the crowd asked me after that song “They’re over 21, right?”
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I asked Tyler how old he is, he responded
“22”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She goes on to tell him how
talented he is, goes on and on with me how she’s seen guys in their 60’s who
have half the talent of these guys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Frisky Disco, you got yourself a new fan that night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the best was “I Put a Spell on You”; a
great cover of a great song by a spectacular band!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Always fun to watch and at the end, they
performed one of their rocking originals with Hayden on the keyboard, belting
out “You can take away my home, but you can’t take away my heart.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such talent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kevinaldridgemusic">Kevin Aldridge</a> </span>&
the Appraisers played The Cars outside. Hearing them brings flashbacks to the
late 70’s early 80’s, right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
replicated the music of The Cars near flawlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Top three were “My Best Friends Girl”, “You
Might Think”, and of course, “Drive”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Such a great set choice and Kevin & the Appraisers did The Cars
justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next was <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SecretGhostChampion">Secret Ghost Champion</a></span>
inside covering The Beatles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John Lennon
came down from Heaven and took over the stage this night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The microphone had that eerie echo to it that
made it feel like Lennon was actually there in the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They covered “Strawberries Fields Forever”,
“She Said, She Said”, “Hey Bulldog”, and “Dear Prudence.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The crowd was getting thick at this point,
and everyone was hypnotized by Secret Ghost Champions performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sure watching the Beatles in their day was
similar to the experience this night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next act I caught was <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/PanicVolcanic">Panic Volcanic</a>’s </span>version
of Deep Purple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Panic Volcanic has an
interesting set up with Ansley “The Destroyer” on vocals, Zach on bass and
Chris on drums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You read right, no lead
guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But with Zach’s skills on the
bass, you’d never know it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides, how
can you get past Ansley’s voice to even CARE about the guitar!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This girl has a set of pipes like Janis
Joplin, sharp like a knife and full of soul that comes from deep within.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Witnessing a Panic Volcanic performance is a
treat in itself, but watching them cover a band like Deep Purple and pull off a
song like “Space Truckin’” with such enthusiasm and pizazz is one of those
moments you tell your grandkids about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Zach announces that “It wouldn’t be Rock n Roll without breaking some
rules,” so they played Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The crowd applauded and screamed after every song, packed up against the
stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone was digging their
performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last band of the night, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheHannaBarbarians">The Hanna Barbarians</a></span>,
took the stage inside and covered Rod Stewart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Any performance of Rod Stewart wouldn’t be complete without a mullet wig
and tights, which is what the lead singer sported.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest of the band donned wigs and printed
tights as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were so many good
performances, but two of the most notable were “Hot Legs” and “Maggie”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By this time the place was so packed and full
of life, people were dancing, enjoying the Hannah Barbarian’s antics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They put on a great show, as they are known
to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rock Assembly brought everyone out for the pure love of Rock
n Roll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I discovered some new acts I
hadn’t seen before. Every band put a great effort into learning the style of
the band they covered but definitely gave it their own Fort Worth Indie Rock
flair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a good weekend for the
Fort Worth music scene and I'm always grateful to be a part of it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Sunday 8/18<br />
Jam it up on Sunday with KatsüK at Sundown at Granada. Giving a Free Jam Band performance, Katsuk describes their sound as "an earth-punk-folk-rock group creating deeply impact-full works of art with emotive substance, both timeless and without border." As with many that fit 'Jam Band' status, they fuse many musical styles together. More info on the show can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/413314592119230/">here</a>.<br />

Wednesday 8/21<br />

So there you have it, another round of featured shows to go and see in DFW. We strive to make your music experince as knowledgeable, entertaining, and musical as possible. Like I have mentioned, I have tried to not focus on any specific musical genre, however musical prefrences give you a biased as to what to cover. That being said, we are still looking for interested contributers, whether writers, photographers, videographers... Join a team of people who love music, and want to make sure the good folks of DFW have plenty to choose from! Have a great week, and keep jammin' my friends!<br />

Attention Bloggers, Photographers, Videographers, Promoters…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Live Music DFW, an organization devoted to the unification
and promotion of live, local music in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, is
looking for contributors. As of recent,
I have been the only contributor to the blog and Facebook pages, but seeing as
this strives to be a community, we are opening up for interested candidates. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This will be an unpaid endeavor, as all parties involved are
doing this as a labor of love. As we become more established, there might be
paid opportunities in the future. However, contributors will have a lot of
freedom when it comes to articles, pictures, videos, etc. Specifically, we are looking for people to
cover shows based on location or genre; i.e. Denton-based blogger,
Arlington-based photographer, Metal-genre videographer, Country-genre promoter…
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Bloggers</b> must
develop story ideas, and always need to have new ideas for content on the blog
that people want to read. They will be challenged with the task of writing
pieces that intrigue readers, making them want to keep coming back and reading their
new posts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Promoters </b>need to
get the word out about the blog to new readers to get more clicks. To do this, they
can do a number of things, including commenting on other blogs and putting a
link to Live Music DFW blog in the comment, linking to other blogs on the blog,
and using social media to get the Live Music DFW blog posts in front of people
who might be interested in reading it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Videographers/Photographers</b>
must have an excellent eye for creative detail when capturing, editing, and assembling
footage into a video/album. Need to provide own equipment, and have a working
knowledge of all software involved (i.e. Photoshop, Instagram, Vine, Adobe Premiere,
Final Cut, Avid…)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Live Music DFW’s objectives are to:<o:p></o:p></div>
<ul type="square">
<li class="MsoNormal">Create a
community of music in DFW, and be a resource to all parties involved
(Bands, Venues, Show-goers)<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Provide
show and journalistic content for the Live Music DFW Blog (Featured Shows,
Reviews, Interviews, Band Profiles, Photo/video, Free Shows, Digital
Concerts…)<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Promote local
acts, labels and venues. (Work in conjunction with venues, Bands,
Promotions companies, Booking agents, organizations…)<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Find and
post all live music to all media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Create Blog
Calendar)<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you believe that this seems right for you, please apply.
To do so, please email a sample of your work (blog post, pictures, video…if you
don’t have one for a local show in DFW, please go to one and submit that as
your sample) to <a href="mailto:livemusicdfw@gmail.com">livemusicdfw@gmail.com</a>
along with your current contact information. We are very excited at the
prospect of everybody’s involvement, and look forward to receiving the applications.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-4eaf8bb0-a025-25ee-fafb-a5e7f1cb894f" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="427px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/b576BE9qHHNN3Uc2dBcemr37VRQSRdbPiEQ9E5qYXkgxsoS2sp1J-rvil_hNka-xogLQnnOeSfICHAX1bNcQPEVaL9GtWKEDtE7vPLNM14iu2r7kTPJkPmYJ" width="427px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-4eaf8bb0-a025-25ee-fafb-a5e7f1cb894f"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Deep Ellum, heart of the Dallas Music scene has much to offer in the department of bolstering musical acts in intimate venues. One such event took place at the Prophet Bar in Deep Ellum on 6/27/13; New York-based Rhythm and Blues band, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds opened the show, and was followed by NOLA’s Funk-Rock Band, the Revivalists.</span></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-4eaf8bb0-a025-25ee-fafb-a5e7f1cb894f">
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A hell of a show, at a little hole in the wall (Prophet Bar is literally just a single bar, in a long open room, with a stage in the back). I figured this would be an opportunity to provide my Live Music DFW fans, a little behind the scene look at that performance.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being the proactive, music journalist that I am, I got a chance to sit down with Sister Sparrow and her Dirty Birds, and chat about their pride and joy; the music they make! SSDB is an 8-piece band, who was sharing a small green room that night with the 7-piece Revivalists. The green room was crowded, the venue was crowded, but the music was bumping! Needless to say, the interview took place in the hallway, giving it just the informal feel I was looking for. Sister Sparrow (Arleigh Kincheloe) did most of the talking:</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW- So ya'll have been together since 2008, but didn't really get touring until later in 2011. Between the time of the band's conception, and the point when you started touring, you held a 5 month residency at New York's Rockwood Music Hall. Tell us about that experience.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- It was this little club on the lower east side, actually pretty much where we had our first show ever the day before thanksgiving in 2008...They asked us to do a residency so we did like 1am on Saturday nights or something for a while, a couple of months, then they said, “we’re going to give you a better spot.” We moved down to like 10 or 11 which is kind of prime-time in that whole scene. And we kind of cut our teeth there. We didn’t play a lot of venues, because it was once a week and we were just hashing it out, learning to play together…. Those were the old days….many miles ago.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW- Please tell us what it was like to be a "house" band and how that contributed to the band you are now.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- It’s kind of old school, you know? That’s how those guys back in the day would play…they’d be a house band and that’s how you’d get better, how you get comfortable with each other. I mean, if we were only playing once a month, we would not be where we are now…it would be shit music and we would just be band-mates. We go out after the shows, do house parties after the show and you’re like “we know each other onstage, but we become good friends and just party together”. That also helped in making us stronger.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW- So this seems to be a family gig, at what point did you decide ya'll needed to get together and make this band happen? What prompted your sibling(cousin/friend) collaboration?</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- Arleigh: It’s sort of the family business. Our fathers (Bram and Arleigh/Jackson’s) are identical twin brothers and they, you know since high school has been playing in bands together. So we would end up hearing all of these old war stories and that family vibe.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bram: we actually didn’t grow up together, when they were kids, they moved to the Catskill mountains. I grew up in California where our dads had been living we didn’t really start hangin’ out until we were already like 15 or 16. I moved to New York and started to go to go on stage a lot</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Arleigh: I’d been writing songs for a while and...we’d be banging on the piano, Jackson would be playing harmonica, and we just decided we should get the band together!</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW- Each of you seem to be very talented musicians all on your own, but your band seems to put more emphasis on the combined sound of all the members. What geared this style choice, instead of alternating musical showmanship with intricate solos?</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- Arleigh: I think it was really just an unconscious evolution, the way we just played together, you know. Finding that sound though, it took some time. There wasn’t so much of “let’s do it this way this time, let’s just jam man!” It kinda came out that way.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jackson: She had all these great songs that she brought…she’d write them, almost to completion with a melody and lyrics and then bring them to us. Being such a large band, you have to write the music for the band, not so much feature individuals. You know you find this feature fits here…there is also a pretty amazing level of musicianship to be able at certain times to decide to go there for a second, but then to come back to the song. We’re polished, because we play a lot of shows”.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW- 2012 was your breakout year playing with some huge names including Gov't Mule, The Avett Brothers, Counting Crows, Trombone Shorty, JJ Grey & Mofro, the Rebirth Brass Band, and a three week run with Allen Stone that culminated in an Austin City Limits late night set....who was your favorite band to perform with?</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- Allen, and JJ Grey & Mofro, they were a lot of fun. Gov’t Mule was amazing…we opened for them a couple of times, and Warren Haynes came and played with us.</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW - You recently recorded an EP with the famed Randy Jackson, bassist, music producer, and American Idol judge. Can you tell us a little about that experience?</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- It was very surreal…I think we all didn’t really know what to expect and we hadn’t done it…I mean he’s huge. We were a little intimidated of course. You would go in there, and Randy was the chilliest dude on the planet. He sets the tone for everybody, and all of us are like okay, we can relax. He is so mellow! So it was really just such a pleasant experience all around and really eye-opening and educational. I feel like I learned a lot, about how to just relax and play the music instead of stress out. Recording can be really stressful. I feel like it almost always is, and he made it really just easy. We spent three days recording this EP with him. We don’t have a specific release date, but Fall sometime…post-production takes so long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SW - So have you been to Texas before, and do you have plans to return to Dallas/Fort Worth?</span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SSDB- We’ve played Trees in Deep Ellum, and Lola’s in Ft. Worth...it’s great, We’d absolutely come back!</span></div>

our fb page, watch our vids on youtube, follow us on twitter and instagram;
we are taking over the interwebs! So, here are my picks for Featured Shows
6/23/13:<br />
<br />
Sunday 6/23<br />
Off to Levitt Pavillion in Arlington for another great FREE Live Performance.
This time it is Denton-based instrumental-fusion Snarky Puppy to start out the week.This award-winning group has garnished
a reputation for putting on a live performance unparalleled in energy, virtuosity, and musicianship. The fusion of a
knowledge & respect for musical tradition, and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most
critical, as well as carefree audiences.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eZBlRkF0-to" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
With over 25 players in regular rotation, Snarky Puppy puts on quite a show. The core of the group,
which remains consistent, features Grammy Award-winners Robert “Sput” Searight on drums (God’s Property, Snoop Dogg)
and Shaun Martin on keys (Kirk Franklin, Erykah Badu), as well as young organ prodigy Cory Henry
(Kenny Garrett, Kim Burell) and multi-instrumentalist Louis Cato (Marcus Miller, Q-Tip, George Duke). Show info can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/539661506084009/?ref=2&suggestsessionid=2a47bad9c0b69917486d3f87044eb1de">here.</a><br />
<br />
Monday 6/24<br />
Twin Shadow plays at the Granada theater. They have been described as "steeped in 1980s new wave building from streaks of haunting synth textures and having sophisticated melodies, R&B intimacy, and poetic lyrics,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-FP_8-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Shadow#cite_note-FP-8"></a></sup> mixed with hazily new wave-tinged pop"<br />
<br />

<br />
Tuesday 6/25<br />
Tuesday we are up to Denton for local act Boombachs playing at Dan's Siverleaf. I'd describe their sound as Jazz-infused Hip-Hop.
Self-described as "A band whose foundation is centered around hip-hop a la The Roots, A Tribe called Quest, changes the game by
shamelessly cross-pollinating jazz, progressive/post rock, and funk." Their result below.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ba44cY-rsFg" width="560"></iframe>

William Huebner, Stephen Simpson. All eight members of The BoomBachs reside in Denton, TX. Info on the show can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/349399495163509/">here.</a> <br />
<br />
Wednesday 6/26<br />
We get some local flavor with Mikal Cronin and Shannon & the Clams at Club Dada in Deep Ellum.<br />
Channeling early rock
rhythms, 1960s groups, and garage psych bands, with a dose of
R&B, surf, and punk all thrown in, too. Shannon and the Clams are described as sounding like "a brawling Etta James
backed up by the 13th Floor Elevators singing Shangri-Las tunes...").<br />
<br />

names including Gov't Mule, The Avett Brothers, Counting Crows, Trombone Shorty, the Rebirth Brass Band, and a three week

<![endif]-->Saturday night, June the 8<sup>th</sup>, The Effinays opened
for Spoonfed Tribe at Trees in Deep Ellum. While not the headliner of the
night, the DFW based Funky Reggae band drew quite a crowd. During their high
energy set, the crowd was dancing, and grooving to the sweet tunage that The
Effinays have become known for. Saturday was their last show before they left
on their first ever tour!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After their set, I got a candid couple of minutes with the
guys, and got to ask them a little more about the force in live music they had
become. It all started with Jeremy "Pan Blanco" Piering on Bass
Guitar. The rest of the current lineup is not original band members. So when I
asked what made this particular group of musicians the best iteration of the
band, Piering responded “You know, we are just more genuine with these guys. No
drama, just having fun and making music. We support each other, and don’t shoot
anything down; every idea is a good one”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When asked to describe their sound “We’re genre-bending, we
have influence from anything and everything; No limits.” That being said, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there is an obvious influence from Reggae,
Funk, Reggaton, Hip Hop, and Jazz.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
So what kind of time do you have outside of the band? Peiring
said “We all hang out together, its family man!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marquise Jones, on Tenor Sax chimes in “I’ve
only been here 8 months, and even though we do holidays and birthdays together,
they joke and say I’m still on probation…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About to embark on your first tour, what are the Effinays
excited for? Peiring speaks first “Playing music all over the country,” except
this first tour is mostly along the west coast. “Yeah we are going to try for
all the way up to Washington.” Marquise says “I’m excited because I’m sheltered
and I want to travel” His ambitions were a little higher claiming he wants to “Share
their music with the world”. Jon “Big Spook” Martinez felt differently. “It’s a
Catch 22, having to leave the family for 4 month”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I mention Joe’s tattoo. “Oh yeah, it says Musica es Mi
Passion, I got it when the band started getting really serious”. I ask when, he
says “Right before Wakarusa” so sometime in May. It definitely gives not just
Joe, but the whole band a cool vibe. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted to hear from some of the other guys so I asked Valenti
"Funk" on Drums/Keys, how he got his start playing both at the same
time. “I played Piano first, and then when I picked up drums, I just replaced
the left hand with a drum stick… It just works”. And work it does, well that
is, the piano & drum boogie works well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On to Jason "Shaggy" Kerr on Guitar; Shaggy is it
intentional that your Guitar and Jeremy’s Bass match? “You know, this is
actually my back up. It’s the same model as my main Guitar, but when I saw some
guy selling it in that color, I had to go for it and get it to match.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Julian, tell me about
the Effinays involvement in NORML and winning Activist of the year from High
Times magazine. Julian "King" Ayacannoo, the other Sax player started
to reminisce. “Yeah, the tour is actually being sponsored by NORML, its pretty
cool. As for the High Times, we were nominated for three awards: Activist of
the year, which we won, best local act, and best underground act.” People
getting to share great music and a great cause, at least for the Marijuana
activists. “When we received our award, we met George Clinton, who was the
Activist of the Year, the year before. It was really cool when we spoke to him,
and he wanted to take a picture with us!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
George Clinton had the right idea. These guys are one of the
coolest, chilliest, and funkiest bands in North Texas, so I’d recommend you go
check them out. They were even so cool as to give me some signed posters, and
Big Spook even gave us a shout out here at Live Music DFW (even though he
reversed our name<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span>)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

interviews, so I’ll keep you up to date. Thanks for reading and keep jammin’ my
friends!<br />

this calendar, please send an email to <a href="mailto:livemusicdfw@gmail.com" target="_blank">livemusicdfw@gmail.com</a> stating so, and an invite to the

in Deep Ellum. They are a Husband and Wife band like you’ve never seen. Him
giving off a very Hendrix vibe, her more of Fergie one, but when they get
together they jump from instrument to instrument making FunK/Jamtronica that
rocks the house. <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NHdDdht8sag" width="420"></iframe></span></div>

<br />
Levitt Pavilion, in the heart of Down Town Arlington, is
filled with music-goers and their families. Levitt is an outdoor pavilion that
offers FREE live music all summer long, and I figured Big Sam’s Funky Nation
was the show to check it out.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’d only ever been to Arlington for Texas Rangers’ games or
one of the amusement parks. But after this show, Levitt Pavilion will definitely
be one such amusement park on my list! Let me paint the scene for you; Levitt
lists capacity on their website at 2,500, which would easily quantify the
patronage for Funky Nation. Almost completely full, Levitt Pavilion housed
families with lawn chairs and blankets, seemingly arriving way before my
friends and I did (30 mins before performance) to snag a great spot.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We start at the back, not wanting to upset these nice
families who have waited, but the Upbeat, Funk/Rock seemed to be lost on all
but the small children. As expected the music was excellent, but it was a family-type
function, which made for significantly less Funk-tion. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Big Sam” Williams, a New Orleans Trombonist/Singer/Band
Leader, got his start with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the age of 19. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After one year with the Dirty Dozen, Williams
began a broadening his musical goals. Big Sam played with Elvis Costello and Allen
Toussaint in 2006 on their Grammy-nominated "The River in Reverse"
album and ensuing international tour. Big Sam's Funky Nation has become his
main band, touring nationally, internationally, and at major festivals such as Bannaroo,
Gathering of the Vibes, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Voodoo Music
Experience, South by Southwest, & Austin City Limits.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Big Sam’s Funky Nation describes their sound as a “signature
Noladelic Powerfunk sound masterfully combin[ing] a rock sensibility with
improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that’s the
hallmark of big band funk.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my opinion the highlight of the show was, after the band
had left the stage, our music-going group started to chant the Parliament lyrics
“We want the funk, gotta have that funk!”. The band came back out for an encore
performance which combined of several songs; “The Treme Song”, “Everybody Needs
Somebody”, and a special shout out to yours truly with the camera-phone “You Better
Tweet About Me”. They invited people from the audience up on stage, and what
had started out as an encore, quickly became a dance party!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All and all, this was a great, did I mention FREE, community
event put on by Levitt Pavilion and the city of Arlington. I’d highly recommend
catching some more of those shows, I know I will, and will keep ya’ll updated
on what will be playing when. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks Big Sam and Funky Nation for a funky good time, and
keep on jammin’ my friends!</div>

another installment of my featured weekly shows. I’m not getting started on
this until late (sorry), so it will not include Monday. Needless to say, there
are some big acts playing this week. Now, based on where these shows are and
how big an act it is, ticket prices will vary. I am just doing my best to let
you know what I think are some of the coolest shows out there this week. So,
without further ado, here is the Live Music DFW blog week of June 2, 2013.</span></div>

last DFW show this Saturday before embarking on their first Tour! They will be
playing at the CD release party for Spoonfed Tribe, along with other local

Being the poor, post-grad early twenty something that I am, I decide on a free show. Me and a couple of buddies head down to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Barley-House/90009507894">Barley House</a>, a local SMU beer garden, that frequents shows with little to no cover. Just our luck, tonight was a free night.<br />
<br />
Never hearing of either band, I was skeptical at first, but it was suggested by a member of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/517362011659635/">DFW Deadheads Facebook group</a> I created, so I figured it wouldn’t be all that bad. Well as far as a free show with two local blues/jam acts, I couldn’t have asked for more! I enjoyed myself so much in fact, I figured that this would be an opportunity to write a review, as well as create a new page on this blog; Local Acts. This will be among the first in this category, but I definitely won’t be the last.<br />
<br />
So we get there, just as the music starts (my favorite feeling), grab a table, order a pitcher and enjoy the music. Now, on this particular night, the bar is pretty empty considering. Maybe 40 people not including the bar staff, needless to say it’s intimate.<br />
<br />
The first act was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Hilltop-Crawlers/290324184413361">The Hilltop Crawlers</a>, a Blues/Jam band pulling influences from Classic Rock. The way I’d describe their sound is Stevie Ray Vaughn and ZZ Top, meet Derrick and The Dominoes. Of course they have a sound all their own, but they play some deep tracks from such artists as The Band, The Grateful Dead, The Doors (They played a killer version of Maggie M'gill, in honor of Ray Manzareck’s passing), and others. Upon speaking with them after the show I found out, this was only their 5th gig together as a band. Needless to say, very impressive. Here is a video I took to share with my blog-following friends!<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4PIndOSooyw" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
The Hilltop Crawlers are based out of Dallas, and their members consist of Don McCann – Lead Guitar/Vocals, Eric Snead – Rhythm Guitar, and rotating members Jake Murphy - Bass, and Daniel Slatton - Drums. They are currently working on an album titled “Highway Miles” set for release by August. More info on the band can be found <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/thehilltopcrawlers">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Next up was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theroamingsoldiers">The Roaming Soldiers</a>. Based out of Fort Worth, their sound is Southern Rock with a hint of Blues. Think Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers, meet Pearl Jam. Also very cool and different enough to make this a dynamic show with the HT Crawlers. The Soldiers are a little more established than the Crawlers, playing together since 2009. What I remember the most; big belting vocals, and intricate guitar solos. Not only did these guys put on a great show, they sent us home with party favors! Demo CDs and bumper stickers, not too Shabby Roaming Soldiers! Here is a video of their performance:<br />

<br />
The band is made up of David George – Lead Vocals/Guitar, Jesse Anderson – Guitar, Bo Kjorvestad – Bass, and Brent Baker – Drums. They too are working on an album, no release date has been disclosed. More info on the band, <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/theroamingsoldiers">here</a>.<br />

Well, it was a good night, with great music. I couldn’t have asked for a better, cooler, and mellower show to catch on a Friday with nothing better to do! Please, if you have read this far, it means you are interested in what I am offering. The only way that this thing works is if you share, share, share! I will create the content and you guys share! Also you can now subscribe to the blog via email or through an RSS feed, in addition to being available on the site, the Facebook, the Twitter… Thanks for the support guys! (And there are obviously people reading, as I needed no introduction when I spoke with the band that night. I guess I’m a local DFW Live Music scene hero!)<br />

music, and I would guess so would many of you, it truly is a pleasure
when I get to bring music to others. By far, my favorite aspect of this
whole thing is getting to tell you guys about FREE MUSIC. You read that
correctly, FREE. A week or so ago I posted about the FREE music at
Sundown at Granada, but today I will be sharing about the FREE summer
MUSIC series put on by <a href="http://levittpavilionarlington.org/">Levitt Pavilion Arlington.</a>This is a really cool thing, I'd highly recommend to see as many of the free shows as you can!<br />
<br />
The Levitt Pavilion Arlington, is
located in Downtown Arlington. Families and friends of all ages are
welcome to experience
50 nights of free music every year. The Levitt is a unique experience
to see live performances, as well as the star-filled sky above in the
heart of Arlington Texas! Their concert calendar
includes artists from all around the world as well as right in our own
DFW
backyard; from jazz to hot Latin rhythms, home-grown country to Indie
rock, and culturally diverse world music, the list goes on and on.<br />
<br />
With that being said, there is one show in particular I would like to highlight. That show is <a href="http://bigsamsfunkynation.com/">Big Sam's Funky Nation</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/615737325122385/">Friday June 7th, 2013</a>.
For those who are not familiar, Big Sam’s Funky Nation combines funk,
rock and New Orleans jazz for a sound that makes you want to get up and
dance.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wfn55cAx_Qs" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Funky Nation has an
established presence in
the New Orleans music scene, with "Big" Sam Williams exploding onto
stage as the trombone player and band leader. Big Sam, formerly of the
Dirty Dozen Brass Band, is said to be “the top man on the slide trombone
in the birthplace of
jazz” by the <i>San Francisco Chronicle.</i> Big Sam has played with the likes of Karl
Denson’s Tiny Universe, Dave Matthews, and Widespread Panic. He
has also shared the stage with U2 and Green Day at the re-opening of the Superdome in New Orleans, which broadcasted <i>Monday Night Football</i>. Funky Nation also had a recurring role on the HBO series, <i>Treme</i>.<br />
<br />
A full list of events can be found <a href="http://levittpavilionarlington.org/venue/levitt-pavilion/">here</a>, they've got something to suit every taste. So check it out, and keep on jammin' my friends!<br />

It was a hot day, and while the event was well put together, there was not much variety. A small vendor village had been erected, but consisted of mainly local clothing designers who had shared the same screen printer (<span itemprop="name"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thealexamachinecompany?directed_target_id=0">The Alexa Machine Company</a> who coordinated the event)</span>, and not much else. The musical entertainment was stale, numerous computer loops and profanity-laden rap attempts. But amidst all this mediocrity, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MixMagyk">Mix Magyk</a>, a Local jazz/funk band rocked the house with their short 3 song set.<br />
<br />
It would be an understatement to say that these guys were the highlight of the event. Not that I have bad things to say about "Indie in the Big D", it is just new (1st annual) and trying to find it's groove. Needless to say, I needed to find out more about this fantastic Jazz group here in DFW.<br />
<br />
Mix Magyk was started back in 2009, when friends Craig Kleinman, Matt Garcia, and Jullian Ayacannoo decided to make an attempt to create a hip-hop group. They were all acquainted through their Tarrant County College Jazz class, but were unsure how to start this new project. While striving for a hip-hop sound, their music transformed into an instrumental jazz combo, upon not being able to recruit a serious lead vocalist. Additional members would come along later including the other current members Marcus Ybarra, Marquise Jones, and Michael Daniels. <br />
<br />
Self described as Neojazz/Jam/Funk/Fusion, Mix Magyk has been creating a name for themselves in DFW. They have played at many local venues including Trees and House of Blues, and are even nominated for best Jazz Band in <a href="http://www.fwweekly.com/music-awards-festival/#gf_15kly">Ft. Worth Weekly</a>.<br />
<br />
Entering their 4th year together, Mix Magyk is on the cusp of breaking into the next level. The plan is to release an EP sometime soon, expected this summer. With all this good fortune, and a groovin' contemporary jazz set-list, Mix Magyk is definitely an up-and-coming name in the DFW live music scene. If you have not had a chance to see them, I highly recommend it! It won't be difficult as I expect we'll be seeing a lot of them.<br />
<br />
Keep jammin' my friends!<br />

While I am sure a good amount of you are aware, I'd like to take this time to inform the unknowledgeable amongst our music-going friends. The Granada theater is on Lower Greenville. This is a music venue similar to others, where great acts come through and you buy tickets to go see them. However, go outside, and right next to the Granada, is Sundown baby! Sundown at Granada has live music performances 7 nights a week, from 11pm-2am. It is a fully functioning bar/grill, that just so happens to have the perk of having a $0 cover charge. That's right, you can have the same excellent caliber musicians performing at Sundown that you would have to pay for at their neighbor. I saw an awesome show at the Granada a few months ago, where <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aliveones?fref=ts">A Live One</a> played and you had to purchase a ticket. I went back several weeks later, and A Live One was playing a set at Sundown! It's hella cool guys, definitely check it out...it's free! Here is their lineup for this week (sorry it so late in the week):<br />

So I decided to combine two of my passions; writing and music. I like to tell stories in many ways, and share, so I went ahead and started this music blog. My goal here is to discuss upcoming shows and post events, and maybe even write reviews of live music that I am aware of going on in the DFW area. This was inspired by my Facebook Group DFW Deadheads, so feel free to join that group as well. Like that, I encourage others to contribute, write comments, what have you. Let's make this bad boy come alive! I'd like this to become a functioning Music Blog for everything music in DFW! My personal tastes are geared more towards blues, jam, jazz, and funk, but I will include as many different types of music as I can. Thanks for reading! Let's kick this off!<br />
