Irish singer Imelda May heads back to the states with Jamie Cullum
Rockabilly singer/songwriter Imelda May is back to tour the states again but this time around she is playing bigger venues and more dates while opening up for Jamie Cullum.
Chicago clearly made an impact on Imelda May last time she was here because it is the only city she is not only opening up for Jamie Cullum but also booked a solo show. Her first appearance in Chicago was last September where she played a headlining show to a packed crowd at Martyr's and now she is back for round two on March 15th in the same intimate venue. The following night at Park West May will get a chance to play for a larger crowd in support of Jamie Cullum.

Comets' 2010 Tour
The first Rock band in the world. Many bands called themselves so, but this is the "real McCoy". Before these guys hit the scene there was nothing, even the name Rock & Roll was taken from their early hit "Rock The Joint". After several successful and sold out tours in the last years the fathers of Rock Music will hit the road again.
After Bill Haley's early death on February 9th, 1981 this guys got back together again and couldn't stop "Rockin' Around The World", (as one of their albums was called). On April 12, 1954 a musical history landmark, these fine young musicians recorded "Rock Around The Clock" the best selling rock record ... continue reading

JB Beverly & The Wayward Drifters
Another Sunday night at the Ace Café. On stage this time JB Beverly & The Wayward Drifters hailing from Lakeside, Virginia, USA . At band not really known to me, so we almost skipped his gig ( I must admit I was too lazy to look anything up of them before the gig). But I’m glad we didn’t, it was great. As they say they play the summon of American roots music. Country, rockabilly, blues and bluegrass. Just 3 guys on stage, JB on vocals and Guitar, Dan on Banjo and Johnny on Doghouse. They played 2 sets of about 45 minutes each and just had a great time on stage. Offstage these guys were very friendly. Had a talk with Johnny about his record label ... continue reading

The Razorblades 14 april Ace Cafe Rumst
Well originally it wasn’t my intention to go to this gig, cause I’m not the biggest surf ( well at least of what some people call surf these days) fan. To me surf bands are the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, The Ventures etc. So a bit opinionated i went to the gig of the Razorblades And I must admit I have to review my opinion ( well at least about these guys), damn this was good. You could hear every note the guitar played ( and that were a lot of notes), The bass was clear fast and great, The drum kept a tight beat behind the clean surfsound. A lot of very familiar songs were played: “ Apache”, “ Brand New Cadillac”, “ Rawhide”.
A band you ... continue reading

Steffi Sidney-Splaver, co-star to James Dean, passes away
by ROY JACOBSON
South Whidbey Record Reporter
Mar 02 2010, 4:10 PM · UPDATED
Steffi Sidney-Splaver never flaunted her inside Hollywood connections, not even a film role with the legendary James Dean.
“She knew all the really top stars of that era when she was a child,” her husband, Rick Splaver of Langley, said Monday.
“Major, major stars came to her house,” Splaver said. “She just grew up with them. Leonard Bernstein played the piano in her living room.”
“She was never a snob about this stuff,” he added. “She liked to reminisce, but she never looked down on people.”
Sidney-Splaver, ... continue reading

Surf Rocker Richard Delvy Dead at 67
Surf-rock drummer turned publisher Richard Delvy -- who played in one of the genre's first bands, the Bel-Airs -- has died. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Delvy, 67, passed away Saturday, Feb. 6, at a California hospital after a prolonged sickness.
Delvy first got his start as a drummer and producer but his business acumen was equally impressive during his music career. Originally from Bridgeport, Conn., he moved to California at 20 years old and began playing with the Bel-Airs. That group had a regional 1962 hit with 'Mr. Moto' -- later covered by the Ventures and Dick Dale and His Del-Tones -- but Delvy soon moved on, forming ... continue reading

Johnny Cash Eyes Top 10 Bow On Billboard 200
The highest debut on the Billboard 200 next week will likely come from Johnny Cash's "American VI: Ain't No Grave," the late legend's final installment in his successful American Recordings series with producer Rick Rubin. Industry prognosticators suggest the effort could sell in the range of 30,000 to 35,000 by week's end on Sunday, Feb. 28. That first-week sum could earn it a top 10 bow next week.
Cash's previous American set, "American V: A Hundred Highways," debuted at No. 1 with 88,000 in its first week back in July of 2006. It was Cash's second topper and first since the iconic live set "Johnny Cash at San Quentin" spent four weeks ... continue reading
