The one-man-basement/bedroom-band project has become a
contemporary Pop staple of late and one of the sub-genre’s highest
profile acts over the past decade has been Jordan Mark Witzigreuter’s
energetic Synth Pop contribution, The Ready Set.
The Chieftains
March 8-10 • Music Hall
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 6, 2013
There is every other traditional Celtic Folk band on the
planet and then there’s The Chieftains. Or maybe that should be the
other way around; a good many critics would agree that the Chieftains
single-handedly raised the profile of Irish music on a global basis and
paved the way for every band that has subsequently followed a similar
path.

The garish, densely layered cover art for Animal Collective’s latest album, Centipede Hz,
is just the first sign that the Baltimore-bred Psych Pop crew was
intent on shifting creative gears this time out.
Sara Watkins
March 11 • 20th Century Theatre

Sara Watkins has had a deceptively long career in music
despite her young age. She came onto the scene as a member of the
progressive Bluegrass group Nickel Creek, which featured her brother
Sean Watkins and budding genius Chris Thile.

history, the quartet has recorded 10 studio albums — their latest, Earth Rocker,

Mountains
Feb. 28 • Mayday

In cinematic terms — and Mountains is as cinematic as any
musical outfit currently crafting soundscapes — it’s as if David Lynch
and his longtime composer Angelo Badalamenti wrestled the eternally
ethereal Tree of Life away from Terence Malick and injected a serious dose of mood-altering menace into its penultimate scene.

Man Man's Search for Meaning
Eccentric Philly band doesn’t know the rules, so it just keeps breaking them
0 Comments · Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Known for its irreverent songs and
unpredictable, gloriously ramshackle live shows, Man Man defies
convention at nearly every turn.
