New Date for January's Metal Show

Worried you missed the metal show on January 23rd? Don't be -- you weren't the only one snowed in. We decided to reschedule the show a few weeks later, and as of today we were able to confirm February 6th as a date that works for all of the bands. Come out and enjoy some local metal with us!

PSA: Metal Show Rescheduling

Due to the severe weather we experienced this weekend, the metal show originally scheduled for January 23rd with 1818, Paradigm, and Into the Mouth of Fear, will need to be moved to an alternate date. We are working with the bands to find a date that works for all of them, so we do not have to alter the bill. We will update on all channels with the date to be determined.

About Kevin Neidig:
The unexpected complexity, combined with graceful agility, are what grab you by the throat, compelling you to listen into the wee hours. Kevin possesses an otherworldly ear and literal sleight of hand. Watching his nimble fingers execute a fretboard is like bearing witness to a spider weaving geometry into form. He manages to project a kind of tenderness clad in power, by turns exuding mystery, exuberance and wit.

This month, we see the return of the Learning to Flatpick guitar series.

Learning To Flatpick - Developing Speed and Style - Vol 3

Taught by: Steve Kaufman • Publisher: Homespun Tapes
 

Move beyond the basics and get into the finer points of bluegrass flatpicking! You'll be jamming with the best of them once you've mastered the tunes and techniques on this final DVD in this series.

Steve Kaufman broadens your musical vocabulary by focusing on the essentials of good picking techniques. You'll learn to play six classic fiddle tunes - Liberty, Salt Creek, Blackberry Blossom, Clarinet Polka, Home Sweet Home and Ragtime Annie. Steve slows each one down, highlighting the tricky areas and then playing it up-to-speed so you'll hear how it should sound in performance.
