After M.I.A. enthusiastically claimed her "last show ever" would be at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival, fans have been anxiously waiting for confirmation of whether it was a publicity ploy, if she would continue making music, if it was just for an extended rest, or if it was absolutely permanent for her. In an interview with AceShowbiz.com, she's standing by her word and decided to not make music anymore as well. With her single "Paper Planes" exploding in popularity and rave reviews of her first two albums, one could only hope she gets the encouragement to...

San Franciscan Matt Nathanson felt as if he was playing in his own back yard. Golden Gate Park, the home of San Francisco’s Outside Lands, isn’t anything special for Matt. Still, be sandwiched between Ben Harper and Tom Petty was. With the rising success of his most recent album Some Mad Hope, Matt is gaining the success he finally deserves. Having put out records for the past fifteen years, he’s a living testament to the notion, “Good things come to those who wait.” Discussing covers, crowds, and rolling along with life, Matt was a true pleasure to share our...

I’d always known that the local San Franciscan and friend of Dead’s Phil Lesh was a powerful songwriter, but his guitar prowess impressed me most. Jackie did not...

"Theres Something Good Waitin Down This Road"

Saturday started off on the right note: a morning cup from my favorite coffee house, It’s A Grind. But, assuming you don’t care all too much about my long awaited cup, I’ll fill you in on the music.

Arriving on time at the Sutro stage for Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet, I was surprised by the amount of people that had arrived for the first set of the day. Opening with “A Fuller Wine,” the quartet picked, plucked, and strummed their way through a set mixed with both resurrected American folk songs like “Banjo Pickin’ Girl”...

The Devil’s In the Details

With the growing popularity of music festivals, it only seemed right for San Francisco, one of the largest cities in the United States, to get a major fest of their own. Presenting Outside Lands. Announced last year, the buzz about the festival spread instantly. And when headliners Radiohead, Tom Petty, and Jack Johnson were announced (along with the great supporting bands), the anticipation for the upcoming August weekend exploded among music lovers and San Franciscans.

Allowed to be the first night concerts in Golden Gate Park, the gorgeous, green, and gigantic...
