Welcome back everyone! I've got a lot on my mind, but little time to do it/write it. Here goes:
LAST CONCERT: Amy Correia graced NJ during one of her limited concerts in support of You Go Your Way. Great Show, but I need to get a blanket for outdoor concerts! Check out the review linked at her name
NEXT CONCERT(s): XPoNential Music Festival live from Camden, NJ July 22 - 24, 2011 at Wiggins Park on the Waterfront! This is a 3 day fest, you can buy for all 3 days, or purchase individual days. There's even a discount for xpn members. I am thrilled as I finally get to see Ted Leo and the Pharmacists after a walking away from a venue nearly 3 years ago. I am heading out for Saturday's show on my own. In support of The Brutalist Bricks
Ted & co, take the stage @ 5:15 followed by Booker T.
Booker T, is solo now, without the MG's. He is a lifetime achievement Grammy awardee and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If I'm lucky enough to stick around for the show it should be quite the treat.
Sunday I am going with my daughter, Molly. The plan is to at minimum catch Hayes Carll. At the member price of $15, and $5 for children. I couldn't pass up the chance to catch Hayes Carll live. After several years, the Hayes Carll star is starting to shine bright! It's a full fledge festival including the Kid's Cornerp so I should have a great chance to stick around for Carbon Leaf
& possibly Emmylou Harris
Hayes Carll - She Left Me For Jesus

Also this month are Artscape & Newport Folk Festival
CONCERTS TBD: For what would be my first World Cafe Live show, Melissa Ferrick is playing September 11th. I started listening to Melissa Ferrick back in high school when she was a not yet openly gay, and on a big label.
When I moved to Baltimore after a few years out of college, I had re-discovered her, only to find her as an indie, openly gay artist, with an accoustic-indie sound. The tempo had increased, as did her awesomeness. Lyrically she was still impressive, but she was now writing with a clean slate. I haven't been keeping up with her as much as I'd like, but after seeing her once in Baltimore, I'd take a chance on seeing her anytime she comes to town, based on her high energy excellent live show!
Here's a few links to my favorites of her recent albums:
Her two most recent albums are:
If you are not heading to Newport Folk Festival, but are in the NY/NJ/PA area, head to Readington NJ July 30th for the Festival of Ballooning where she is one of the openers for headliner Bare Naked Ladies
FREE MUSIC: Checkout Spin's July freebee via iTunes!
My favorite track from the compilation so far is Morning Son
from Country Mice. Like a lot of new music this year, it has a country twang in combination with some electric guitar 
Act quick as the code expires 7/31/11
ANTICIPATED ALBUMS: Blind Pilot & Pokey LaFarge
each have very eagerly awaited albums coming soon. Middle of Everwhere is Pokey LaFarge & company's new album after an impressive Riverboat Soul
helped them tour around the U.S. & Europe. My three year old already knows him to identify him within seconds of hearing his music and some of his lyrics. It's only a matter of time before more folks feel the same way. Along with the Decemberists, the St. Louis quartet keeps me overly excited for the upcoming Newport Folk Fest. Amongst the tracks is a current favorite of mine, 'Drinkin Whiskey Tonight'(see below as it was featured with 'Claude Jones' on YouTube.
We Are The Tide, is the upcoming release (September 13th) for Blind Pilot. 3 Rounds and a Sound brought much acclaim to the band during the last 3 years. As the bands following (and the band itself) grew, they toured about. This fall they tour the Western states with new material.
