Joe G.’s Coverband Explosions are notoriously great shows. For 11 years Joe Garrigan has managed to bring together some of the best musicians in our area to mix it up and play a whole bunch of tunes you know and love. Wigs, costumes, bare-chested drummers and a room full of people screaming out the lyrics to some of their most beloved songs are just some of the highlights. We had the pleasure of attending Joe’s last cover show in December and I must say it was a damn good time. For those of us who missed seeing a Ramones or Jimi Hendrix show, for example, this might have been the next best thing.
If you want to have some fun tonight, want to relive some old favorites in a live performance with some really talented people, want to drink a few beers and see lots of attractive ladies and fellas rockin’ it out like it’s a holiday weekend then you should head down to the Blind Tiger around 10pm. Tonight’s bands inlcude Black Sabbath, Tom Waits, Neil Diamond, Drivin’n'Cryin’, Pavement and Eddie Vedder. Hello! Can you say AWESOME? Most importantly all of Joe’s shows are for a good cause. Tonight, all the proceeds will go to the North Carolina Humane Society. So, you can have a bad ass Saturday night and save the sweet animals all at the same time.

Based out of Washington, DC, this nationally touring band has been compared to “Alison Krauss and the Band” by the Washington Post, and touts Levon Helm’s own horn players on their catchy single “South Carolina Blues.” [...]

Here’s part 2. It’s been a few weeks since part 1. Molly McGinn and Molly Miller after completing their first album “North, South” with Kasey Horton and produced by Jim Avett, are now beginning the process of recording their second album with 3 time grammy award winner Steven Heller and Laurelyn Dossett at Echo Mountain [...]
Around a year ago, Molly McGinn ventured into our kitchen with a small outfit she hustled together from local musicians which she fondly called her “Buster Dillys.”
Over the course of the following 15 months or so she encountered Molly Miller and together with Kasey Horton they formed Amelia’s Mechanics, very quickly releasing their first album, [...]
