I am prefacing this episode with a shout out to a fellow blogger that has graciously returned from a short hiatus for part of last year. Justin Ward, who heads up livemusicblog.com, runs one of the most popular and informative blogs about the live music scene. His posts cover a wide range of topics including early announcements of festival lineups, concert reviews, and even advice on how to survive a 3-4 day music festival. In addition to all of this the Live Music Blog also has a corresponding podcast featuring some great live recordings which fans of this podcast will most likely enjoy. That's the end of the plug so I hope you'll check this site out if you haven't already.
Moving on to the featured concert for this episode is one that I have eagerly been anticipating putting together ever since starting this podcast. The featured concert is from Will Hoge's February 3rd, 2007 performance in Boulder, CO. I first heard about Will Hoge through a taper in the KC area who at the time was moving to Denver and was going to see him in KC before he left. Ironically enough he was the one who recorded the show in Boulder, so thanks goes out to Ed for sharing this awesome concert. If you have never heard of Will Hoge's music before it's has a ton of energy, but at the same time a very bluesy soulful sound. The Black Crowes are a pretty good comparison, but Mr. Hoge definitely has a unique sound that is his own. I didn't have to listen to very many of their songs before I added them to my must see list, so hopefully you will have the same experience with them that I did.

I might be a couple days late but I still want to wish everyone out there a very happy New Year! I also want to thank you for listening in 2007 and let you know that I look forward to another year of great live music. I'm not planning on making any major changes in 2008 just yet, but that should be good news if you have enjoyed the show thus far.
I'm kicking off the new year with one of my all time favorite bands to watch live. The first time I saw Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals was in the summer of 2003 and ever since I have tried my best not to miss a show. I'm actually kind of surprised that I waited this long to feature one of their concerts, but sadly their live recordings are a somewhat rare occurrence. This band is easily one of the most powerful live acts around and on top of that they have produced some wonderful CDs with a lot of commercial success as well. Having said that, if you have heard songs off their CDs but not performed live I really believe this band take on a completely new form when they get on stage. Hopefully this podcast will give you a glimpse at what they do live, but it really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Please enjoy a sampling from their March 01, 2001 performance recorded in Athens, GA. Song listing
