HullabaLOU review: Ben Folds [Music]

I'm still fighting it, too.

After tramping through the Downs the day before, my feet were not super happy to face another day of high heat and lots of standing. My only consolation was the prospect of a nostalgia filled day of music, the first of which was Ben Folds. My best friend introduced me to his music years ago while he was still part of Ben Folds Five, so I was looking forward to his set, heat baked and swollen footed as I was.

Who came to HullabaLOU? [Music]

Jukebox the Ghost keeps a sense of humor at Forecastle Festival [Music]

Washington D.C. rock and roll band don't let small Forecastle crowd keep them from covering the '90s and having fun.

Washington D.C. piano rockers Jukebox the Ghost aren’t unfamiliar with the Louisville area. The piano/guitar/drums trio has played the Vernon Club twice since June of last year, and though the crowd was small at their second stage Forecastle Festival time slot (overlapping main stage sets by Minus the Bear and She & Him), those there knew all about the band – and most of their words.
