Joan Osborne’s new material will capture your attention Saturday at Headliners
Listen to Joan Osborne again for the first time! Her voice has a richness and soulfulness that we rarely get to experience.

Joan Osborne was the mid-nineties golden child of Anchorage, KY when her single, One Of Us (you know it….what if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home), raced to the top of the charts and could be heard everywhere.

Jane's Addiction invades Palace Theater with theatrical performance [Music]

In between the downpours of rain, those who made it out to the Palace Theater last night experienced a multifaceted stage production.

In spirit of The Great Escape Artist, Louisville’s Palace Theater was a fitting venue for the theatrical performance by Jane's Addiction last night. Accompanied by eccentric stage characters and props, they left no album untouched with a mixed set list to please any fan.

Diamond Dave blows the roof off the KFC Yum Center with rock legends Van Halen.

I bet you were thinking the same thing that I did when I heard Van Halen was coming to Louisville. I thought, wow, these guys are getting up there in age. Will Diamond Dave still be able to pull off those high notes, not to mention all of those high KICKS! Will Eddie Van Halen be able to keep his fingers moving across the frets of his guitar with the same lightning fast speed as he did when I was listening to them while driving around in my camaro back in the day?

Sandpaper Dolls puts on a fantastically eerie show at MEAT [Music]

Sandpaper Dolls
Experimental a'cappella trio, Sandpaper Dolls, had MEAT at capacity and listeners waiting outside to get in.

I was told hearing the Sandpaper Dolls at MEAT would be an unforgettable experience, but I was not prepared for how spectacular it ended up being. I knew the music would be great because I had heard the trio once before at the Rudyard Kipling, so the quality of the music was not a concern.

However, in his hands this instrument commands the large band of Ngoni Ba as they oversee packed stadiums and festivals across the globe.

The reunited band makes Louisville's Palace Theater the next stop on their Doolittle exclusive tour this Wednesday. Guitarist Joey Santiago spoke to Louisville.com about his side project with drummer Dave Lovering and keepin' on with the Pixies.

But the Pixies have been going at it for seven years. “I can’t even think of the end right now,” guitarist Joey Santiago told me during an interview conducted in September. “But I want to keep going. (Laughs) There’s no reason to quit. ”
