My knowledge of the music of Ron Sexsmith is mainly limited to the short set that I saw him play a few years ago at the Beachland as part of Blue Rodeo’s tour with “Friends.” He’s always been on my ever-growing list of artists to become familiar with and after hearing his new album Long […]

Bruce and Bela
So what’s Bruce Hornsby up to right now, anyway? And better yet, what are his plans for this summer? In a recent radio interview, Hornsby covered both subjects, talking about his current (and long-awaited) debut musical SCKBSTD and also his touring plans for the summer. The first 45 minutes of the interview will net you […]

Bob Seger on tour?
I heard rumors to that effect towards the end of last year (“rumors” from a well placed source close to the band) and if you look at the video recently posted on Bob Seger’s homepage, it’s not too hard to connect the dots. The video includes a montage of classic Seger images and a graphic […]

Two pieces of Mike Portnoy news
I saw the following post from Antimusic and said “Mike Portnoy plus Neal Morse and Steve Morse? I’m in!” With all the will-they-won’t-they news about an impending announcement from Dream Theater regarding the identity of their new drummer, one could be forgiven for losing track of outgoing drummer and founding member, Mike Portnoy.

Reissue News: Yes and Howard Jones
Here’s some news on a couple of exciting reissues that are on the way. A few days ago, I saw a brief blurb that the previously import-only The 12″ Album release from Howard Jones would be getting a U.S. release via Wounded Bird. This made me think of Action Replay, the other EP of 12″ […]
