Daniel Israel: Musical Theatre in Motion
The direction of Daniel Israel’s career is decidedly more clear than that of the characters in his new musical, who bounce from parking lot to parking lot following the eccentric orbit of the brightest star in their universe, the jam band Liquid Brick. The musical, which goes by the working title “The Dirty Hippie Jam Band Project,” is the beautiful love child of Israel’s collaboration with Pheobe…

Lineup Announced for BMI Stage at ACL Fest
The Austin City Limits Music Festival is October 8-10 in Austin’s Zilker Park, and once again, BMI will join the fest in offering raw proof that roots music is more than alive and well—it’s rocking, kicking, and swinging. Tucked in its signature shady corner near the entrance of the festival, the BMI Stage will pull from all over the country and across the pond for a deliciously schizoid twang-punk-soul-folk sonic…

Dynamite Walls: Calmly Blowing Up
“You ain’t that special,” deadpans vocalist Tom Pritchard in the bittersweet original track of the same name by his band, Dynamite Walls. It’s an accusatory sentiment that encapsulates the swagger and candor of a band that clearly is special. Hailing from San Diego, CA, Pritchard and his cohorts specialize in smart, insinuating tunes that capture both the hopes and disillusionment of…

Alison Krauss Puts a New Face on Bluegrass
It was a career high-point in 1990 when 18-year-old Alison Krauss won her first Grammy Award for her third Rounder Records album, I’ve Got That Old Feeling. Fast forward 14 years, and Ms. Krauss is standing on the red carpet at the 2004 Academy Awards looking every bit the glamorous Hollywood type, sporting a pair of bejeweled $2 million stiletto sandals. In the…

Phish Resurfaces With ‘Round Room’
When Phish released its first major label recording in the early ’90s, critics hailed the Vermont foursome as forerunners in an improvisational "new hippie" movement. But when the band quietly dispersed in 2000 for a hiatus of indeterminate length, Phish left a musical void no other band could fill. So it came as welcome news recently when Phish announced it was finally swimming out of self-imposed…

Béla Fleck Broadens the Banjo’s Appeal
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to state that genre-bending banjoist Béla Fleck has revolutionized his instrument's place in contemporary music. With his eclectic combo the Flecktones, Fleck - who recently won Grammy Awards in the categories of Best Contemporary Jazz Album (for his album Outbound) and Best Country Instrumental Performance (for "Leaving Cottondale," a duet with fellow banjo virtuoso Alison Brown) - has consistently taken the instrument…

Phish
After more than 15 years of jamming and 10 successful records, six of them gold or better, Phish may have actually just released the album that brings them into the mainstream. Farmhouse cuts the jams short and delivers some of the most melodic songs in the band's history. By sticking to their rock-meets-blues-meets-folk style, Phish will certainly keep their fan base of Phish-heads, and will probably…
