Blake Mills is Some Sort of Magician

Blake Mills is a player I only heard about recently and I’m not sure why because this dude is a god damn six string samurai.  He’s one of the most original guitarists I’ve seen in a long, long time.   I don’t want to guitar geek out on you too much here but this dudes got chops.  Mr….

Philly Concert Picks August 6th – 9th

Thursday the 6th: Banditos @ Bourbon and Branch I was lucky enough to share the stage with these guys awhile back and they fucking kill it.  They’ve got a great down and dirty roots rock thing going on.  They sound a little bite like Futurebirds but dirtier.   Thursday the 6th: J. Roddy Walston & The…

Ripple Green | Marble Arch

I’ll shoot it straight with you guys.  Here at EBE we get contacted fairly regularly from bands, managers or promoters trying get us to push a new single or an upcoming gig.   Through a combination of laziness and the fact that most of it just isn’t that good we ignore the majority of these inquiries….

Charlie Parr | Stumpjumper

Charlie Parr is a man from another time.   He plays country blues and he plays it damn well.  Also he’s a native of the land from whence I came, so I’ve got to rep the Minnesota talent.   However, even if he wasn’t from ‘The Land of 10,000 Lakes‘ I’d probably still be writing…

This is something we’ve been workshopping for awhile now.  It’s been through many iterations but I’ve decided it’s time for these session to see the light of day.  This is a rough outline, a pilot if you will.   We’ll flesh out these EBE Sessions as time goes on and I’ll make no promises but I’d…
