Ultra Lights Release Smokin’ Debut
Make no mistake: Ultra Lights are no copycats. Their clever wordplay and relentless guitars carve out a sound that is unmistakably their own.
An Evening with Wilco
The new “Losing Traction” was played for just the fourth time on their tour, debuting at the band’s Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, Mass., just three weeks earlier.
Spoon bring Lucifer’s heat to Louisville
Think Mick Jagger meets Ray Davies and you may get a glimpse into what makes this guy tick. The lanky blond singer exudes a coolness all his own, wielding a wicked blues-rock sound with his guitar.
It’s all Roses for Widowspeak
Again, I can’t stress enough the paradoxical sounds coming from Widowspeak, with Hamilton’s emotional, airy voice blending with Thomas’s Americana-style guitar.
Soft Palms are Here to Serve
“Radio” punches back (again) at the 24-hour news cycle of fear (mainly FOX News). It’s clear the Palms are feeling what we’re all feeling. When will it end?
Morby Heats Things Up in Atlanta
His latest album, Little Wide Open, feels like a handwritten postcard, inviting newcomers to discover the heart of this region.

Lewis, a former child actor, is a natural onstage: confident, charismatic, and fully commanding. Sennett, who handles guitar and shared lead vocals, is equally comfortable in his rockstar skin.
New Happiness from Mom Friend
Sometimes observational, sometimes deeply self-reflective, Backus consistently captures that feeling of “I get it,” which may explain why so many listeners connect with this band.
Morby Pays Homage to Middle America
There is definitely a Dylanesque edge to his music, but it remains subtle; this is unmistakably Morby on a terrific slice of mid-American pie.
