Phil Everly of The Everly Brothers passed away on January 3, 2014.
He was known as the harmony of the duo, and the songs they penned will live on forever. No video back then to catch live shows by fans, but this TV recording captures the passion behind the music that the duo carried throughout the generations. "Wake Up Little Suzie" is a very time tuned track on the recorded version, playing it live, the Everly Brothers really unleash their rock hungry talent!

I've just learned where Maine's own, Stephan B. Jones, will open for Ms. Sandi Thom at One Longfellow Square, Portland, Maine, on May 12, 2014, at 7 pm.
"Steve Jones has become one of Maine's best known singer songwriters, and he has also played guitar with practically everyone on the Maine music scene over the last 20 years. The Newcastle native is best known for his work with The Boneheads but he also is a member of Dirigo and The Holy Mackerels as well as fronting his own band," according to Maine Tracks. The rootsy and poppy vibe heard on "Itchy Fingers", leads off Maine Tracks Volume 2. Listen to the track via this download link.

Bobaflex is on tour in the US.
The band was formerly with TvT. Charlatan's Web is their 6 release and 3rd being released on their own label BFX Records. "BAD MAN" is the current single at radio, which has charted 4 of the last 5 weeks on Medibase and continues to climb. It is their most succesful single to date. With catchy hooks and punk-metal looks, Bobaflex brings all that metal fans love about energy into a modern knock out punch, with cliff edges and great rhythms.
