Gray skies bring great music
Tacoma Weekly
Zac Harmon will bring the blues to this year’s Gray Sky Blues Music festival held on April 4 at various downtown Tacoma venues. The Gray Sky Blues Music festival came about for two reasons. Firstly the Tacoma Events Commission (TEC) was approached by the Daffodil Festival because they needed a jumpstart and a way for people to stick around longer after the parade and figured music could be the ticket. The event is also a result of the lull period in between waiting for winter to be over and summer music festivals and outdoor concerts starting up. Many individuals in Tacoma realized the lack of music available to them out of doors during this bleak period every year and thus the Gray Sky festival was born.
Even songs about death can be ‘uplifting’

nce I started writing songs I thought were good I wanted to play more but I didn’t want to play by myself so I booked some solo shows to get over that fear. “Morlix retains some of that former self-criticism regarding his songs. The song “Crossroads” for example revisits blues music’s most famous intersection and ends with the sublime line “I know some people sold their souls to the Devil; they don’t sound nothin’ like Robert Johnson. “”It’s a long way to go to get to that last line” he says. “I think up until then it’s an K song but that last line is the payoff. That’s when it gets good I think. “Really Morlix is underselling himself.
Vlatko Stefanovski: Thunder From the Blue Sky
All About Jazz
Be it happy or sad or angry it hasnever been limited geographically except in some minds and has becomea universal language that many people identify with. Vlatko Stefanovski one of Europe’s premier guitarists has always had that bluenote in his playing and given the broad spectrum of music genres he has put hisfingers to it would have felt incomplete if he hadn’t done a proper all-outblues album during his career. The blues repertoire was also present in his firstband Leb i Sol’searliest playlists as by their own words in the early days whenever they wouldplay all theiroriginal material the band would also play blues standards. Stefanovski’s firstsolo albumhad two original blues tunes “Life is an pen Road” and “RedBlues” but beside that he has never really delved into the blues area completely.

Review: Plug-in software that fine tunes iTunes

TuneUp like iTunes wanted to do things like stamp the cover from Led Zeppelin IV (yes the one with “Stairway to Heaven”) on songs from disc four of the box set. TuneUp also did a nice job of putting more accurate labels on different types of music. For instance the B-52s were sorted into a more appropriate “New Wave” category Hendrix’s sonic sounds were placed in “Acid Rock and British Blues” and The Byrds were pegged as “Classic Folk Rock. “I still found reason to nitpick with some of TuneUp’s definitions. For instance I liked the way TuneUp classified The Rolling Stones’ 1972 classic album “Exile on Main Street” as “Blues Boogie and Southern Rock” but does the group’s “Bridges to Babylon” really belong in the same category as “Exile”? Bridges sounds more like “A Bigger Bang” which TuneUp defined as “AR (shorthand for Album riented Rock) Classic Rock. “While it tidies up your music TuneUp also can help you find videos concert tickets and merchandise for any artist in your library. When I was playing “Magnificent” from U2’s latest album TuneUp quickly linked to a recent video of the band performing the same song on David Letterman’s show.

A journey into the depth of the blues
Gilroy Dispatch
That human attribute is ‘colorless. ‘” The blues can’t be defined any better than that. The production started out as a 45-minute educational program in Denver and then was developed into a full-length show that became a four-time Tony-nominated Broadway show. It ran for 284 performances in 1999 and 2000.
