...almost like playing a frat, only there was less chance that someone was going to come onstage and spill beer on an amp,” said Jesse R. Andrews ’04, bassist in the Harvard-based funk band FinkFankFunk. FinkFankFunk performed at the House of Blues twice in 2002, headlining their second show there. “The people who ran the place were really friendly, which is a rarity for people who do that sort of thing for a living,” said Andrews...
...Roots are making some changes. The group plans to start recording a new album this month, for release next year. A guitarist, Kirk Douglas (nope, not that Kirk, and yes, he's heard the jokes), has been added to the core lineup--Thompson, vocalist Black Thought, keyboardist Kamal and bassist Hub. Another guitarist, Martin Luther (not that one either), will also play on some cuts...
SILVERTIDE. Meet lead singer Walt Lafty, lead guitarist Nick Perri, rhythm guitarist Mark Melchiorre, bassist Brian Weaver and drummer Kevin Frank—five shaggy-haired time travelers hell-bent on resurrecting rock’n’roll.

His audience - somewhere between big cult and the bottom of the pop charts - will be relieved...
...Norway - thinks it is. Just 10 years ago there were only four summer jazz festivals in the country; now there are more than a dozen, and Otnes says "a lot of them have lost their special character." Not his, of course: from July 14 to 19, singer Dianne Reeves, bassist Dave Holland, saxophonist Michael Brecker and a slew of artists from Norway's fertile jazz scene will descend on the small town on the North Atlantic, one of Europe's most serene spots for jazz. Special character? The tiny French village of Marciac, just north of the Spanish border...
