Concert Review: Béla Fleck & the Flecktones [Music]

Béla Fleck & the original Flecktones played their last performance together Saturday night at the Brown Theatre.

Béla Fleck & the original Flecktones performed Saturday night at a sold out Brown Theatre.  There was something nostalgic about the show.  Maybe it was the fact that this was there last show of the tour and the last time the original line-up would play together, although they hinted that they would probably play again one day in t

Review: Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt trade stories and songs [Music]

Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt
Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt brought their acoustic show to the Brown Theatre Sunday for a grand night of masterful storytelling and songs.

You get the feeling Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt have done this a few times. Watching them on stage, you can almost imagine it's just two good friends who have got together to pick a little, rib each other, and share a few stories -- but instead of hanging out in their living room, they happen to be doing it in front of several hundred fans on a darkly lit stage at the Brown Theatre.

Celtic Crossroads put on an entertaining Celtic show [Music]

Celtic Crossroads
Celtic Crossroads' merchandise was bringing in people off the streets and their performance was better than expected!

There were three reasons that really enticed me to go to Celtic Crossroads' show. First, as an employee of the Kentucky Center I got a really good deal on my tickets. Two, I like Irish music, so it wasn’t like I was going to a show I knew I’d hate. Three, St. Patrick’s Day is next weekend, so this was my pre-St.

Kentucky Opera
The show will go on for Kentucky Opera's production of The Merry Widow with a replacement orchestra made up of local musicians and a late substitution for Kentucky Opera Conductor Joseph Mechavich, who announced his departure today.

It's been a bumpy road for Kentucky Opera this season, having become embroiled in the labor dispute between Louisville Orchestra's management and its union musicians, who have not been able to come to terms on a new contract.

Mike Birbiglia - my review of Saturday's show [Review]

Mike Birbiglia - my review of Saturday's show [Review}
See what I thought of my man Mike Birbiglia's show, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend.

So Saturday night was the Mike Birbiglia show, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, at the Brown Theatre downtown.  If you read my review last week then you know that I had never seen a full show by the guy before, but was optimistic from the things I had heard about him.  Well, I wouldn't say that I was disappointed as much as maybe I had set my expectations too high.

A few questions for Gary Louris of the reunited Jayhawks: Original lineup playing the Brown [Music]

The Jayhawks
Fans are excited that the original Jayhawks members are back together. Front-man Gary Louris talks about reuniting the band and their new album Mockingbird Time. The Jayhawks play the Brown Theatre Friday, October 14.

Formed in 1985 in Minneapolis, The Jayhawks weren't exactly an overnight success, but over the years their influence has grown steadily, and 1989's Hollywood Town Hall is considered a classic in the alt-country genre. When founding member Mark Olson decided to leave the band in 1995, The Jayhawks went on without him, continuing to record and add to their loyal fan base.
