When Alabama Shakes take the Virgin Mobile FreeFest stage on Saturday, the quartet — all from Athens, Alabama — will likely play its biggest hit, "Hold On," within the first few songs. This is a deliberate move, and also a sort of challenge...

At an open-air studio in Rishikesh, India, Allison Korycki fell in love with yoga, participating in her first class as monkeys hung on the doors of the classroom. Now, the 25-year-old Korycki, who lives in Charles Village, is the director of operations at...

The end of the Bridge

They didn't want it to end this way, but it will. After 10 years, five albums and roughly 1,500 shows, the Bridge — one of Baltimore's most successful bands — will take the stage one last time on Thanksgiving Eve. Without any opening acts,...

2011-09-28 07:43:00

Bands come and go all of the time, but they are not all created equal. We were reminded of this not once, not twice, but three times in recent months, when three of Baltimore's most celebrated and seasoned acts announced their breakups. The Bridge, a...

Bonnaroo plays seduction song

2013-05-21 18:46:00

I'm over Lollapalooza. Don't get me wrong—it's a great festival, particularly if you are a 15-year-old suburbanite who just loves neon crop tops, molly and being too intoxicated to stay coherent through Deadmau5. Up until a few years ago, that...

Sound of Summer

Daryl Hall Renovates His Career With DIY Spirit

2013-05-15 16:30:05

You've got to want it. And you've got to be willing to do the work. So I'm standing onstage at (New Orleans') Jazz Fest watching Hall & Oates and it occurs to me the difference between them and all the acts I'd seen previously is they had hits, and...

TURN ON, TUNE IN, CAMP OUT

2013-05-09 00:00:00

I think Timothy Leary was onto something when he recommended that people "turn on, tune in, drop out." If drugs aren't your thing, I think the only ingredient necessary to achieve bliss is the last one. There is something spiritually fulfilling about...

As this year's Coachella closes, it's indicative of its underwhelming lineup that the most talked-about surprise involved this RB singer joining the French band Phoenix.

When: June 21-23 Where: The Woodlands of Dover International Speedway, Dover, Del.

After getting together his major label debut and hitting the festival circuit hard the last two years (Bonnaroo twice, P4k, now Lolla) amid a bunch of other touring, K-Dot's momentum is heavy and expectations will be high. He's a serious craftsman, though, and claims Chicago as a second home.
