Ah Mary - Grace Potter and The Nocturnals
May.07 - The Troubador, Los Angeles, CA
Just cause I think she’s hot as fire! If you made a triangle with one point being Bonnie Raitt, one point being Edie Brickell, and one point being Alanis Morrissette, Grace would drop right in the middle.
String Cheese Incident is back for one show this weekend at Rothbury. Stay tuned to From the Road for live updates from Rothbury.
Handshake Drugs - Wilco
6.13.09 - Bonnaroo Music Festival, Manchester, TN
Wilco delivered one of the strongest performances of the 8th annual Bonnaroo. Playing the main stage during the late afternoon on Saturday, Tweedy and Co. mixed it up with material from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Summerteeth, and their forthcoming album, Wilco (The Album).
The set was perhaps best defined by the song choices and how their lyrics matched up to the festival, time slot (Bull Black Nova’s reference to the setting sun), and world events. Nels Kline delivered some breathtaking guitar work, shredding with precision and careful note selection, While Glen Kotche and Jeff Tweedy locked in for some driving rhythms. For those who were only slightly familiar with the band’s repertoire and long-time fans alike, the full mixture of Americana came through with passion and pride on the nation’s largest stage.

The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
