If you’re interested in my writings about the Savannah music scene, you should be checking out the blog hissing lawns that I launched back in September. hissing lawns has a number of contributors, including some excellent photographers, and also has…
Most of my posts about the local Savannah music scene, especially the club and indie scene, are now being made to the music blog hissing lawns. So you might want to check out that site, or even like hissing lawns…

Well I’m nearing the end of my posts about the 2013 Savannah Stopover. I recapped the entire event in my glowing Unplugged column last week in Do in the Savannah Morning News, so here I’m just going to make some…
Ok, I’ll admit to being a little bit of a doubter regarding Thurston Moore’s new band Chelsea Light Moving. Not that the former Sonic Youth guitarist is old or anything, but is 54 to old for indie garage rock? I…
Little Tybee played an early evening set last Saturday on the packed patio at the Congress Street Social Club on the final day of the 2013 Savannah Stopover. Now based in Atlanta, the band has some deep roots here in…
I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that some of the most passionate performances I’ve heard recently have come from acts that seem inspired by deep, complex religious feelings.
I’m thinking of a band like Doug Mains & the City Folk and, more recently, The Last Bison.
For the last show of the opening night of the 2013 Savannah Stopover, there was a kind of jubilation at The Jinx. Mac DeMarco was the reason. DeMarco looks a little older than 22, but his expressions and demeanor make…
In a post last night, I noted some of the press that the 3rd Savannah Stopover attracted from BrooklynVegan and other key tastemaking sites. Today, Chris Coplan has a smart, upbeat, and occasionally-snarky review at Consequence of Sound of the…
At the end of my City Talk column today, I noted the importance of the media attention attracted by the just-completed 3rd annual Savannah Stopover: The names might sound obscure for those who stick to legacy media, but Savannah Stopover…
The Chicago-based rock band Filligar has been around since 2000 and has over 63,000 fans on Facebook, but I’ll confess to never hearing of them before this year’s Savannah Stopover. And I’m sure glad I checked them out last Friday…
The Suzan’s gig at the 2012 Savannah Stopover drew raves, so I put the band from Tokyo right near the top of must-sees for the 2013 festival. In an inspired bit of programming, The Suzan ended up performing at Club…
I had never seen of Montreal perform live, so I was among the thousands who turned out on Friday night for a free, all-ages concert in Forsyth Park that was obviously one of the highlights of the 2013 Savannah Stopover.
The primary sponsors were Savannahnow.com, Savannah Magazine and Visit Savannah. Stand Out Youth was the nonprofit beneficiary.
Looking at my schedule for the next few days, I’m increasingly worried that I’m going to violate a cardinal rule of my own: If you take pictures of a public event that you want to share with the public, get…
