While I dearly miss you, Austin, I'm happy to report at least one #SXSW musical discovery virtually this year: a fine blast of psychedelia from @TheLazyEyesband #MusicMonday https://t.co/1NXutCvlDS

It was a raucous St. Patrick's Day On This Day - March 17, 1989 - when The Replacements played the Palace!

The Derek Trucks Band played at a Westchester High School auditorium in 2007. How cool is that?

I loved the way that that band took us to most out of the way venues to share their music.

I really the miss the #DTB. #TicketStuboftheDay

It's the 10th anniversary of my first @theavettbros show, at @BingTheater, 3rd row center, on the floor. It was the most amazing concert & I'm so thankful for all my beautiful Avett experiences. Thank you, @ScottAvett @joekwon80 @BobCrawfordBass Your music means so much to me.
