| 2 Tickets for South Memphis Band Show at OTS Friday 03/26/10 7 PM | Ticket(s) | $50 | From the Old Town School (OTS) website: The South Memphis String Band is a new trio composed of Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), Alvin "Youngblood" Hart (Grammy-winning bluesman) and Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers). The three friends, bound by Memphis and North Mississippi roots, have known each other for years, and the trio's musical spirit gelled last year when they recorded a yet-unreleased album with Luther's father, legendary producer Jim Dickinson. The South Memphis String Band was greatly influenced by the Mississippi Sheiks, Gus Cannon & the Memphis Jug Band and other string bands and jug bands of their ilk, as well as Mississippi Delta and Hill Country blues. With special guests the Sanctified Grumblers - Eric Noden and Rick "Cookin'" Sherry. Credit Card payment only. |
| 2 Tickets to see Carrie Rodriguez at the Old Town School Friday 05/14/10 8 PM show | Ticket(s) | $40 | "With a gift for songwriting, a love of performing, eye-catching beauty and an Austin accent warm enough to slather on toast, multi-instrumentalist Carrie Rodriguez fills any room simply with her smile and lack of pretense."-- Jambase With special guests the Pines: The Pines are potent and poignant, minimalist country from Iowa and troubadour Tim Easton plays his own brand of pop-folk jangle. Credit card payment only. |
| 2 Tickets to see Claire Lynch at the Old Town School Friday 04/30/10 8 PM | Ticket(s) | $45 | The Claire Lynch Band is high on the bluegrass world's A-List, with Claire's voice having graced recordings from Ralph Stanley to Linda Ronstadt.

| 2 Tickets to see Graham Parker & the Figgs at the OTS Saturday 04/17/10 10 PM show | Ticket(s) | $45 | From the Old Town website: For over 30 years, Graham Parker has been slinging a signature sound across continents and airwaves that has rightly earned him a spot in the pantheon of truly original and influential figures in rock and roll. Since his early days with his band the Rumour (with whom he has two albums in Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Albums of All Time"), Graham has coupled punk's energy with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country and soul music. He's got a snotty barroom brawler's rasp and sneer, a soulman's swagger and an ear for indelible hooks and pop songcraft. Credit card payment only. |
| 2 Tickets to see The Magnetic Fields at the Harris Theater downtown (Millennium Park) Monday 03/08/10 7:30 PM | Ticket(s) | $60 | From the Old Town website: The Magnetic Fields are the music and brainchild of New York songwriter-producer-instrumentalist Stephin Merritt, and his dramatic musical tales are often mentioned in the same breath as Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. SPIN gives him 10 out of 10; Rolling Stone described his songwriting as "gorgeous," and The New York Times hailed the triple CD 69 Love Songs as a work of "genius." Their last visit to the Old Town School resulted in six sold out shows! Credit card payment only. |
| 2 Tickets to see the Tony Rice Unit at the Old Town School Sunday 04/25/10 7 PM | Ticket(s) | $60 | From the OTS website: A maverick of the flat-picked acoustic guitar, Tony Rice was the first instrumentalist to seize upon the innovations of guitarists like Clarence White and Doc Watson and propel them into new flights of rhythmic, harmonic, and textural virtuosity. By doing so in the context of a bluegrass band, he redefined that instrument's role in bluegrass, and raised the bar for a new generation of acoustic six-stringers. With special guests Jeff & Vida: "Jeff & Vida are making music that is real and true. Theirs are the songs you long to hear late at night in the interstate, in poolhalls and smoky whiskey bars." - New York Times Magazine Credit card payment only. |

| Johnnie Bassett - The Gentleman Is Back | CD | $20 | This is Johnnie Bassett’s most recent release, his first in a decade. Allmusic.com has this review: “Johnnie Bassett has been the most populist bluesman in Detroit for many decades, and his scant few dates for independent labels have been regarded internationally as the best sounding recordings of his peer group. [He has a] sleek and clean vocal style [and is an] an economical guitarist. . . . Bassett keeps a light groove going, punctuated by the equally concise and controlled organ playing of Chris Codish, with his regular trio the Brothers Groove. A small horn section comprising some of the Motor City's best musicians join the band as they strut through this program of simplified, easygoing, no-nonsense current day blues. The bulk of the songs come from Bob Codish. Chris' father, with several of the selections built on current day funky beats surrounding timeless man/woman themes within a traditional urban blues sensibility.” |
| Liz Mandville Trifecta | CD | $25 | Special offer to get Liz's first three CDs for the Earwig music label, covering the years 1996-2001: (1) Look at Me (1996); (2) Ready to Cheat (1999); and (3) Back in Love Again (2001). Says Blues Revue magazine: "Brassy, sassy singer with a knack for writing spicy, blues-flavored songs that can rock and rollick." |
| Saffire (The Uppity Blues Women) - Havin' the Last Word | CD | $20 | From the Alligator website: "The trio’s new Alligator CD, Havin’ The Last Word, will be their final declaration together as Saffire–The Uppity Blues Women; the group has decided it’s time to move on so they can pursue their own individual interests. But pianist/guitarist/vocalist Rabson, guitarist/harmonicist/vocalist Adegbalola and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Faye have plenty to say with Havin’ The Last Word. From the uplifting opening track “Going Down To The River” to the saucy ode to aging, “Growing Older,” to the salacious “Bald Eagle” (Gaye’s hilarious follow up to fan favorite “Silver Beaver”) to the heartbreaking “Blue Lullaby,” Havin’ The Last Word is a showcase for the band’s stellar musicianship (including Gaye’s slide guitar solo debut on “Bald Eagle”), razor-sharp wit and provocative songwriting. As their fans have come to expect, the CD also features terrific vocals, rollicking piano, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass and harmonica." |
| Shirley Smith - In Hymn I Trust | CD | $20 | From The Sirens Records Founder and President Steven Dolins: "Shirley Smith makes her debut recording for The Sirens Records. Shirley grew up playing in the churches of Detroit, and subsequently moved her gospel music career to Atlanta and Jacksonville. On this disc, she literally sings every chorus part. Shirley heats up the piano keys on "Learning on the Everlasting Arms" and "Can't Nobody Do Me Like Jesus," and she swings on "He's Sweet I know." Gospel music fans and piano enthusiasts will be shaking their tambourines while listening to "In Hymn I Trust." |
| The Essential Coco Montoya | CD | $20 | Coco Montoya began his long and storied career in the blues playing drums and(eventually) guitar with the legendary Albert Collins. Shortly thereafter, a chance encounter with John Mayall led to a ten year stint as guitarist with John's Bluesbreakers. After that, Coco struck out on his own, making three groundbreaking records for Blind Pig. The Essential Coco Montoya culls twelve of the most acclaimed tracks from those three releases and presents them in one great, remastered package. One of the top left-handed contemporary blues guitarists today. |

| Tinsley Ellis - Speak No Evil | CD | $20 | Georgia blues-rock master's 9th Alligator album that came out late last year. The LA Times says "Ellis unleashes a torrent of dazzling musicianship pitched somewhere between the exhilirating volatility of rock n' roll and the passion of urban blues." All original music from the man on this latest release. |
| Webb Wilder - Born to Be Wilder | CD | $20 | From the Blind Pig website: "There are roots-rockers and then there's Webb Wilder. The self-proclaimed "Last Of The Full Grown Men" is large enough for the big screen, hip enough to star in cult classic B movies, and tough enough to maintain a devoted worldwide fan base through a relentless never ending tour schedule." This 2008 album captures Webb at a 2005 live show in Birmingham, AL. |
| White Large Earwig Records 28th Anniversary T-Shirt | T-Shirt | $20 | Colorful cartoon celebrating Earwig's 28th anniversary in 2006 on front, earwig music website printed on the back of a thick white cotton t-shirt, large size. A true collector's item. |

| Traditional Music of Peru 8: Piura | CD | $10 | Recorded in 1994 in the Piura area of Peru, this disc explores many of the musical traditions that take place during the year, be they sacred or (more particularly) secular music, be they songs or dances, in addition to some theater music. And certainly it's the dances that offer the most musical interest here, played by bands of all sizes and instrumental variations. "Negros" is especially fascinating for its mix of clarinet and saxophone, although, on the evidence presented here, the clarinet found great popularity as an instrument with bands in this area of Peru. But you can also hear string bands and the lovely "Pastoras," sung by a mini-choir of five girls accompanied by two guitars. No one's going to say this is for a mass audience, but as an ethnomusicological document, it's invaluable, recording traditions that have roots deep in Peru's history -- although how much longer they might survive in the modern world is anyone's guess. ~ Chris Nickson |
