I was sifting through some of my older recordings yesterday and came across this gem, a Reed Foehl show from the Fox in 2002, with both Libby Kirkpatrick and Jen Hutman sharing vocal duties throughout the show.

Last night’s Nirvana Tribute was more fun than any of us could have imagined.  A Dualistics‘ performance of In Utero was spot on, transporting the entire crowd back to 1993.    Other friends invited to play were judiciously re-interpretting their own Nirvana favorites throughout the evening.  Creative highlights include Negative Creep as a blues jam, Come as You Are on casio, and a latin-flavored version of Drain You.

Denver’s Young Coyotes are prepared to land at several SXSW parties just after lunch today.  If you’re actually reading this, chances are you’re not down in Austin seeing them this afternoon,  but instead one of many wishing you were.  To lift your spirits (if only a little), here’s the next best thing…a Young Coyotes live set from this week’s St. Pat’s festivities at the Oriental Theater.

Denver newcomers Churchill impressed the Meadowlark crowd with their first official performance last week.  The show started as a duo, with Tim Bruns on acoustic and Mike Morter on mandolin.  Later in the set, Bethany Kelly shared the vocal duties and Amy Moyer completed the ensemble with a cello.  One listener likened their sound to acoustic Counting Crows.   While I suppose the comparison is accurate, Churchill is rooted much deeper in bluegrass and country territory.

Mike Marchant just won’t relent on the songwriting process.  Less than two month after his solo EP release, the setlists are comprised mostly of new material!  This is a fun basement performance featuring Maria Kohler on accompanying vocals.
