  • Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper team up for concerts

    By Nancy Dunham | 06/13/13 03:00 PM

    In a way, Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper are a bit of an odd couple. On the surface, they are both shock rockers. Manson is still touring behind his 2012 album "Born Villain" that he said took him back to the sounds that prompted him to "start making music in the first place." And while...

  • Aaron Lewis keeps his Nashville sound rockin'

    By Nancy Dunham | 06/10/13 02:55 PM

    Aaron Lewis is really living up to the title of his No. 1 hit country song, "Country Boy." The longtime Staind frontman is set to release his full-length album "The Road" at the end of the month. Lewis wrote almost all of the songs on the album. " 'Country Boy' was my first attempt at...

  • Stephen Kellogg goes it alone

    By Nancy Dunham | 06/09/13 04:05 PM

    Stephen Kellogg is back with a new album, but the longtime Sixers -- known to fans as the SK6ERS -- are on a hiatus. The cause wasn't due to any personal animosity or friction, said Kellogg as he traveled from Illinois to Memphis to Alabama on his latest tour. The bandmates, who have been...

  • Portugal. The Man reinvented

    By Nancy Dunham | 06/06/13 08:00 PM

    John Gourley seems embarrassed when he's told that some refer to him as "the coolest rock star ever." The frontman and founder of Portugal. The Man and his bandmates may be riding high with the band's Danger Mouse-produced release "Evil Friends," but you're not going to hear any rock star...

  • Willie Nile takes rock on an 'American Ride'

    By Nancy Dunham | 06/06/13 07:30 PM

    See that bright light? That's Willie Nile's star rising. And it's about time! Silly that it has taken him several decades to begin to reap the kind of praise that his music has deserved for the 35 years of his career. The Who realized his brilliance. So does Bruce Springsteen. And Bono. And...

  • Widespread Panic returns with gusto

    By Nancy Dunham | 06/04/13 03:10 PM

    Jam band fans rejoice: Widespread Panic is back from its yearlong hiatus with a new tour hitting both large and small venues around the country. Although the band has been on a break, it did play a sold-out New Year's Eve show in Charlotte, N.C., and also a benefit the night before. "Taking...

  • TIm McGraw announces 'Truck Yeah!'

    By Nancy Dunham | 05/30/13 06:30 PM

    There's something about Tim McGraw and traffic. The unofficial king of country -- or certainly a member of the royal family -- is just coming off his 2012 album "Emotional Traffic" with a soon-to-be-released single "Truck Yeah" from his new album, "Two Lanes of Freedom." It's his first release...

  • Keaton Simons shows off 'Beautiful Pain'

    By Nancy Dunham | 05/30/13 05:50 PM

    Keaton Simons is proof positive that pain can be, well, beautiful. Consider the inspiration for his sophomore album, "Beautiful Pain." The Hotel Cafe stalwart was playing a festival in upstate New York a few years ago when happenstance brought him together with the woman who would soon be his...

  • Fall Out Boy rises from the ashes

    By Nancy Dunham | 05/30/13 04:05 PM

    In this season of graduations, we would be remiss not to mention Fall Out Boy. The band has traveled from top emo band to tabloid fodder to a four-year hiatus to regrouping and releasing a No. 1 album -- "Save Rock and Roll." Clearly the four band members are graduates of the School of Hard...

  • Patty Griffin tours behind 'American Kid'

    By Nancy Dunham | 05/30/13 03:55 PM

    Patty Griffin is one of those musicians who should be a household name. Not that she seems to really care whether she expands beyond cult status or not. The Grammy Award-winning artist seems perfectly content to make music that pleases her and her fans, whether she's solo or collaborating with...
