The latest gonzo endeavor from writer-director Harmony Korine (Trash Humpers, Julien Donkey-Boy), Spring Breakers manages to be a fever dream, a wet dream, a daydream and a nightmare all in one sitting.

In a very rare and special opportunity, Douglas played an all-solo set – well, almost all solo – showing off not only his incredible mastery of this delightful instrument but an affable, entertaining personality.
On my three visits, I’ve yet to find a wine out of stock, which has been a challenge for previous operators.
Opening with the old Gram Parsons chestnut “Return of the Grievous Angel,” Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell made it clear that Wednesday night’s concert in the Johnny Mercer Theatre was to be a trip down memory lane. Much of the two-hour show consisted of songs from the dawning days of country/rock, when Harris – a…
There are plenty of theories to explain why cyclists draw such disproportionate ire.
We’ll just cut to the chase and say that the fact that they’ve just made their first album as a duo, Old Yellow Moon, is a cause for celebration.
Since his early days as a founding singer and guitarist in the folk band Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson has generated a cult following that happily trails him through all sorts of musical discoveries and changes. Rather than confound, the British acoustic guitar hero has delighted those international legions of Thompsonites with Electric, a new album…
It was just three years ago that Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks dissolved his other project, the Derek Trucks Band, and announced the formation of an 11-member aggregate spotlighting him and his wife, rock/blues vocalist Susan Tedeschi. The Tedeschi Trucks Band debuted at the 2010 Savannah Music Festival. According to Trucks, the new band…
In a way, Sarah Jarosz is the anti-Taylor Swift. They’re almost exactly the same age, and they’re both tremendously talented writers and performers. They even sorta look alike.

‘Jerry Garcia and I both had very similar musical tastes and shared many musical heroes.’

The Colorado-based Taylor writes and sings in an unapologetically raw style, flailing away at a banjo, on stark songs that combine Delta blues and African influences (after all, Africa is the home of the banjo) with Appalachian laments and other elements of American roots music. According to Guitar Player magazine, “he is arguably the most…
‘I didn’t really care to win. I just wanted to go out there and have a good time with the band.’

During the decades when gay marriage was becoming more acceptable among more people, economic disparity has been virtually unchanged.
Hard to believe given his mega-fame on HBO these days during the Barack Obama era, but there was a time when Bill Maher was a pariah. Ironically fired from a show called Politically Incorrect for being, uh, politically incorrect, Maher’s crime was to insinuate that you could call the 9/11 suicide hijackers a lot of…
Like a lot of people in this eclectic little town, I’m an art groupie. I worship at the paint-stained feet of Betsey Cain, Jerome Meadows, Katherine Sandoz, Matt Hebermehl, Adolfo Alvarado, Melinda Borysevicz, Tobia Makover, Troy Wandzel and every other brilliant local who showed at last week’s Taste of Art or at Slideluck or has…
