Amythyst Kiah Amythyst Kiah (on stage at 8:19 pm) sprinkled her set with similar hilarious (self-proclaimed) nerdy rants and pop culture references. The music, which was a combination of blues, folk …

“It’s crowded everywhere!” So said the couple behind me at the back of the venue. It was crowded and the people that arrived on time should have come an hour early if they wanted to see some hot Southern blues on a rather cold, rainy night.

Amythyst Kiah opened up the evening with a solo set. Born in Chattanooga, TN, she now lives in the college town of Johnson City, TN.

Amythyst Kiah at Parkway Theater (Nov 14, 2024)

We last saw Kiah at the Parkway Theater in Nov, 2024, stating that she: “...sprinkled her set with similar hilarious (self-proclaimed) nerdy rants and pop culture references. The music, which was a combination of blues, folk, rock, country, Americana, was so lovely that I didn't catch the name of the movie she started describing…”

Kiah describes her music as Southern Gothic, which gives her ample room to explore the musical genres above. A self-proclaimed nerd, her songs from her latest album, Still + Bright, ranged from an ode to the television show The Haunting of Bly Manor, “Silk and Petals” to one dedicated to her favorite literary genre, cosmic horror, “Gods Under the Mountain.”

Kiah then shifted gears and said that there was a pop song that would not leave her head. So she wondered how it would translate on banjo. For the record, Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” does play in a folk setting.

By far her best songs were “Wild Turkey” which addresses a family tragedy and “Black Myself”, a song she wrote for as part of a collaboration with Allison Russell, Rhiannon Giddens and Leyla McCalla called Our Native Daughters. She said she was given the task to encapsulate 400 years of the Black experience in a three-minute song.

What was full at the onset of Kiah’s set was downright packed by the time Larkin Poe took the stage. And those who had come early had a front row seat to the powerful start to what would be an electric evening.

We last saw Larkin Poe at Knuckleheads in Jan, 2024, stating: “Originally from Atlanta and currently Nashville-based, they are descendants of celebrated author Edgar Allan Poe, named for their four-times removed grandfather, who was Poe’s cousin, and came roaring out of the gate with the rousing ‘Strike Gold’.”

Rousing is a perfect description, as sisters, Rebecca and Megan Lovell, put their spin on roots music with a gritty, soulful sound with their own southern heritage. If the blues is a drug, the Lovell sisters were mainlining the crowd with “Nowhere Fast” and “Kick the Blues.”

Larkin Poe at Knuckleheads (24 Jan 2023)

When we saw them in 2024 Larkin Poe was supporting their Grammy Award-winning album Blood Harmony. They are back on the road with Bloom, their eighth studio album, which Rebecca describes as “... finding oneself amidst the noise of the world, about wholeheartedly embracing the flaws and idiosyncrasies that make us real.”

Rebecca said that they were going to play her favorite song on the new album. She said the song was about not knowing what’s coming down the pipeline, and that she was going to have a baby later this summer. “So, this is for all the ‘Mockingbirds’ in the tree.”

Then they went right back to the nasty with “Bad Spell” before moving onto an acoustic set with a dobro and mandolin, harkening back to the time when they started out as the Lovell Sisters, winning a contest on A Prairie Home Companion with their older sister, Jessica.

Then back to “If God is a Woman”, the highlight of the evening that had Meghan and her steel guitar roaming the stage with an extended solo and Kiah coming out midway to take a verse. And if that wasn’t enough, they played “Bolt Cutters & The Family Name”, a song infused with female empowerment.

Even though the Lovell sisters are in their mid-thirties, the crowd was filled with a lot of gray hair and creaky knees. One person in the audience was an elderly lady in a reserved seat. She was comfortably seated, but rocking, and it was a personal highlight to see her sing:

You can take me outta the fight
You can take me outta the fight
But you can't take the fight outta me
I said no, no, no

Acclaimed Swedish indie-pop band Peter Bjorn and John will be playing their breakout Writer’s Block album (the album with “Young Folks”) in its entirety, with this special US tour in May 2025. The tour will stop by the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on May 16, 2025.

Peter Bjorn & John at Fine Line (23 June 2016)

We saw the band in June 2016 and said, “Anyway, after a five-year break (their last album Gimme Some came out in 2011), to give room for various solo projects: Peter’s solo albums, Björn’s “Yttling Jazz”, and John’s project Hortlax Cobra. With all that out of the way and a fresh perspective, the trio is back with their catchiest album yet, Breakin’ Point. Joining the trio were new touring band members, Klaus and Freya, both doing various keys and extra percussions... which is reflective of Breakin’ Point’s synth-heavy new sound. The extra production really adds a fuller sound to PB&J.”

GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Larkin Poe (Rebecca and Megan Lovell) is touring in support of Bloom. The tour will stop by First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on May 16, 2025.

Larkin Poe at Knuckleheads (24 Jan 2023)

We saw Larkin Poe in January 2023 and said, “The buzz over Nashville’s Larkin Poe has been palpable and growing louder, but this was the first time we've managed to catch talented sisters Rebecca & Megan Lovell live, to experience their own brand of Southern roots rock and blues, after hearing good things as they’ve headlined and also supported the likes of Bob Seger, Elvis Costello, and Keith Urban. Their prolific and impressive discography includes their newest, Blood Harmony (via Tricki-Woo Records) and their lively energetic eighty-five-minute set did not disappoint the sellout crowd, 2/3 of which were seeing them for the first time as well (per an informal show of hands).”

Amythyst Kiah at Parkway Theater (17 Nov 2024)

Amythyst Kiah to open. We saw Kiah in Nov 2024 and said, “She was naturally funny but alas, her smile is taken, her fiancé’s name is Jessica, who is a Taylor Swift fan, insert shameless plug of the album producer Butch Walker. She said her fandom was not one of a crazed “wear a diaper to get through a Swifty concert” but just enough to make her a bracelet made out of “Dark Matter” before she launched into the song. Other references to a family member included her father who whistled on a song on her second album. She was so proud of her TN relative because he had never done anything like that, a recording in a studio.”

TUESDAY APRIL 8

Kobie Boykins, NASA: Beyond Earth: The Quest for Life, Apr 8, Kauffman Theatre, $45-$68

Next up on their Changemaker Speaker Series, embark on a journey through more than two decades of space exploration with leading NASA Engineer Kobie Boykins. After working on all of the Mars Rover programs, he has set his sights on more distant frontiers with his most ambitious mission to date – a circumnavigation of Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon.

As Chief Engineer of this project, he has been leading a team of thousands to build and deploy a spacecraft that will take eight years just to reach its target, before it slingshots around Jupiter and gets into a two-year orbit of Europa. The goal? To find out if there is water under the icy crust. Where there’s water, there’s life. The mission launched in Oct. 2024.

Boykins is a principal mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, where he has worked since graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In more than twenty-five years at the lab, he has worked on every Mars mission since the Pathfinder mission, which took the first Rover, “Sojourner,” to Mars in 1996. In 2013, he received a NASA Exceptional Service Medal, one of the highest honors given to NASA employees and contractors.

Subhumans, Apr 8, recordBar, $25.49

The longtime U.K. punk band will make their return to the United States this month. Subhumans formed in 1980, as part of the UK’s anarcho-punk scene. They broke up in 1985 and reunited a couple of times in the ’90s before re-forming in 2004 and remaining active since then.

The trek just kicked off on April 4 at Minneapolis’ Uptown VFW, and it’ll conclude on April 18 with an appearance at Oakland’s BOB Fest. Subhumans'’ last studio album was 2019’s Crisis Point.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 9

Papa Roach, Rise Against, Underoath, Apr 9, T-Mobile Center, $34-$149

Papa Roach has joined forces with Rise Against and special guest Underoath for the first North American leg of the "Rise Of The Roach" Tour. In the tour parody video, comedian Bert Kreischer dropped the "big news" that he'll be hitting the road with PAPA ROACH next year. In fact, he even let fans in on a little secret — he's totally been in the band all along.

Both acts are celebrating 25th anniversaries, as P Roach will celebrate 25 years of their debut album "Infest" with hits and fan-favorite deep cuts from their entire catalog. In comparison, Rise Against also hit the 25-year mark since their formation and will be unleashing fan favorites and hits as well.

"We can't wait to bring the 'Rise Of The Roach' tour to North America next year," shares Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix. "RISE AGAINST are legends in their own right and will bring another dynamic to this tour. With both our bands celebrating our 25-plus-year legacy and deep catalogs, we are truly blessed to be able to put this show in front of fans."

Rise’s Tim McIlrath added: "After crossing paths with PAPA ROACH countless times over the years, we're stoked to finally team up and put our bands together on the same stage and our fans together in the same room. With the welcome addition of our old friends UNDEROATH, this will be the best damn tour of 2025. See you soon!"

Neal Francis, Apr 9, Knuckleheads, $29.50

The Chicago singer-songwriter has a new album, Return To Zero, following an almost non-stop tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021 to 2024. Equal parts heady and hedonistic, pensive and euphoric, Francis’ third studio LP echoes both his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and a lifelong affinity for classic funk. “I’ve always been intrigued by music that toes the line between funk and rock,” notes Francis. “In the past I’ve asked myself things like, ‘What would it sound like if Thin Lizzy cut a disco record?’ It’s something I’ve been fascinated with for a very long time, so I finally decided to really go for it.”

The follow-up to his 2023 double live album and concert film Francis Comes Alive, the new LP marks Francis’ first full-length studio effort since 2021’s In Plain Sight.

THURSDAY APRIL 10

Larkin Poe / Parker Millsap, Apr 10, The Truman, $29.50-$60

The blues rock duo has a new and seventh album, Bloom, which was release in January via their own Tricki-Woo Records. To accompany the new track, the Nashville-based sister act of Rebecca and Megan Lovell have also released an official music video for “Mockingbird” and are out on an expansive 2025 tour. We caught them live in Winter 2023 at nearby Knuckleheads.

“Mockingbird” follows preview tracks “Bluephoria” and “If God Is a Woman,” which were released in the summer, as well as 2023’s Blood Harmony, which won the duo a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

On the project’s true-to-life process, Megan explained that Bloom is about “finding yourself, knowing yourself, and separating the truth of who you are from societal expectations.” Rebecca adds that it calls for an embrace of “the flaws and idiosyncrasies that make us real.”

Arrive early for this solid double-bill to catch blues/roots musician Parker Millsap as well, who we caught live in St. Paul MN back in fall 2021.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter-pianist Neal Francis is touring in support of his new EP Sentimental Garbage (ATO Records). The EP follows Francis’ breakthrough sophomore LP, In Plain Sight (ATO).

“Sentimental Garbage was the working title of our last LP,” Francis says, “which includes the track of the same name. We ended up calling that record In Plain Sight while removing the title track from the sequence. I knew this was my last chance to slap Sentimental Garbage on a record jacket, the thought of which always brought me great joy. It also works because this record is compiled of bittersweet scraps. I guess we could have also titled the record Burnt Ends.”

As a winter storm approached the area outside, a night of the blues warmed things up inside--

Rock/Blues sisters Larkin Poe returned to a very sold-out Knuckleheads Garage in Kansas City, for a thrilling night and showcase of how refreshed and evolved this distinctly American genre of music, can sound today.

==

The early-arriving crowd was treated to a thirty-five-minute opening set from openers Goodnight, Texas, a folk-rock foursome curiously named after the town that is the geographic midpoint between the initial locations of songwriters Avi Vinocur (San Francisco) and Patrick Dyer Wolf (Chapel Hill, NC).

The band has a new album to support, How Long Will It Take Them to Die, and has toured with the headliners several times, including the last time both acts played this very venue. Highlights included their spiritual sequel to a Dylan classic, “I'm Going to Work on Maggie's Farm Forever” (that had singer Vinocur loudly singing verses off-mic directly into the crowd), the pulp noir vastness of new song, “Hypothermic”, and the chain-gang stomp of their closing “The Railroad”.

==

The buzz over Nashville’s Larkin Poe has been palpable and growing louder, but this was the first time we've managed to catch talented sisters Rebecca & Megan Lovell live, to experience their own brand of Southern roots rock and blues, after hearing good things as they’ve headlined and also supported the likes of Bob Seger, Elvis Costello, and Keith Urban.

Their prolific and impressive discography includes their newest, Blood Harmony (via Tricki-Woo Records) and their lively energetic eighty-five-minute set did not disappoint the sellout crowd, 2/3 of which were seeing them for the first time as well (per an informal show of hands).

Originally from Atlanta and currently Nashville-based, they are descendants of celebrated author Edgar Allan Poe, named for their four-times removed grandfather, who was Poe’s cousin, and came roaring out of the gate with the rousing “Strike Gold”.

“Are you ready to kick the blues tonight?” a smiling Rebecca asked, as sister Megan embellished the crowd response with her lap steel wails, both beaming with the obvious pleasure of being able to play live again after our collective isolated years.

Older sister Megan and longtime bassist Tarka Layman shined on the Son House classic, “Preachin’ Blues” and their empowering feminist theme song, “She's a Self Made Man” was next (flipped from the setlist), while the new “Back Down South” was written by Rebecca and her husband as a love letter to all the influential music that has originated from the region.

“Mad as a Hatter” dates back all the way from the sisters’ mid-teens, about mental illness, and is a song they highlight and try to play at almost every show. With alcohol brand Southern Comfort actually sponsoring the tour, the girls were rushed out drink shots and toasted the crowd (like fine brand stewards) before going into the song of the same name.

The rocking “Bad Spell” was written by Rebecca as her own response to a classic hit by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and the set continued to gain momentum, culminating in the new “Bolt Cutters & The Family Name” and its defiant chorus, “You can take me outta the fight, but you can't take the fight outta me”, which ended the main set with the crowd whoo-whoo-ing along.

The one-song encore was not some bombastic anthem; rather, a backwoods swampy Delta Blues song from the new album, that both highlighted the sisters’ harmony vocals and the dark secrets a Southern River might hold in its history.

“There's nothing quite like blood harmony, more than flesh, more than bone, when you sing, I don't sing alone” Larkin Poe emote on the title track of their new album, and not only do the Lovell sisters harmonize and musically connect like only siblings can, but the album and new songs solidify them as a leading voice in this next generation of blues rock.

Chiefs are continuing to win in the Playoffs (fingers crossed), it’s Restaurant Week in the metro, and the milder temps, have made going out to shows, that much easier to do, which is great.

MONDAY JAN 23

TUESDAY JAN 24

The California-based tribute band is one of several that pay high-level homage to The Beatles. Founded in 1997 by Ron (as John Lennon) McNeil, the group began performing first in southern California and since have played in such far-off places as Japan, Malaysia, France, Hong Kong, the UK, Germany, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil and cover the entire Beatles songbook and members' solo projects.

FRIDAY JAN 27

Asheville, NC (by way of St. Louis) alternative folk singer-songwriter Angel Olsen and her distinctive voice and stage presence are back on the road again and also can be found in the record racks with new release, Big Time (co-produced by Jonathan Wilson and via Jagjaguar) and its initial singles, “All the Good Times” and the title track.

We caught her live last, just last August, in an outdoor show on the Wild Hearts Tour alongside Julien Baker and Sharon Van Etten. Live, she plays with a full band as well as solo and has recently been encoring with an older classic- from Badfinger, Harry Nilsson, and others. Nashville singer-songwriter Erin Rae opens, in support of her new full-length, Lighten Up.

Shen Yun invites you to travel back to the magical world of ancient China. Experience a lost culture through the incredible art of classical Chinese dance, and see legends come to life. Originating in 2006, a group of Chinese artists came together in New York with a vision: to revive the best of China’s cultural heritage and share it with the world. They drew courage and inspiration from their practice of Falun Dafa- a spiritual discipline based on the principles of truthfulness.

We’ve seen the show before and it is colorful, vibrant, and visually stunning, but also be aware there are also some politics injected into the show regarding China’s modern regime, the relationship with Taiwan, and its place in the current world.

SATURDAY JAN 28

Frank Foster w/ Southerland, Granada- Lawrence, $20-$25

The Louisiana-raised and fiercely independent Country singer-songwriter is on the road, with recent single, “What’s It to Ya?” from last year’s Star Spangled Bangers being among his most recent releases. Nashville-based songwriting duo Southerland, is slated as support.

Jordan Carr & The Boys will be headlining the 7th Street Entry on Friday, December 14th. Supportive Parents and Bird Streets will open.

If you didn’t know, Bird Streets is the stagename of Brooklyn-based musician John Brodeur. We actually caught Brodeur, when he was performing under his name, in April 2011, and said, “In contrast to the full Humbugs band, John Brodeur was very minimalistic with his one-man show. It's kind of interesting to see Brodeur playing all the acoustic, loops, beat boxing, tambourine, etc., all in real-time.”

This time around, as Bird Streets, he will be accompanied with a live band.

Bird Streets Tour Dates:

Dec. 7 - Albany, N.Y. - The Hollow
Dec. 9 - Washington, D.C. - Songbyrd Vinyl Lounge
Dec. 10 - Columbus, Ohio - Tree Bar
Dec. 11 - St. Louis, Mo. - Ready Room

Dec. 13 - Milwaukee, Wisc. - Cactus Club
Dec. 14 - Minneapolis - 7th Street Entry
