You may not be familiar with Little Feat, but you sure as hell should. They've been around for 40 years, during which time they've worked and shared the stage with some of music's true legends, artists running the gamut from Jimmy Buffet to Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews to Vince Gill, Brooks and Dunn and Bob Seger.Not to mention the instrumental role the legendary Frank Zappa played in the formation of the group. It was while keyboardist and co-founding member Bill Payne auditioned for the Mothers o
CuCu Diamantes' solo debut CUCULAND is at once a breath of fresh air and a nostalgic whiff of a more glamorous time. It shimmers with the glitz and glamour of an era when catching a show meant dinner jackets and hair tonic, evening gowns and diamonds. But it also bares its teeth and bites down on the modern sounds of New York City's streets, and if you close your eyes a sudden almost tangible perception of the faint smell of tastefully applied Chanel can just as quickly become the st

Don't tell the boys from Ghost of Gloria that South Florida isn't a rock market. The Fort Lauderdale band's co-manager, Brandon Young, says the foursome committed last year to making being in a band their day job in the hopes of making it big within three years. "The hope is that we'll break out of the South Florida rock scene, and hopefully other bands will follow us," Young said. "Hopefully we'll be part of having a rock scene down here again."Last night the band won the first round of Hard Ro
​On Friday, August 21, Col. Bruce Hampton will bring his inspired, improvisation rock to Revolution in Fort Lauderdale. He's a jam band hero who helped form the highly influential '90s H.O.R.D.E. tours. With H.O.R.D.E., he employed future jam band all-stars Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band), Jimmy Herring (Widespread Panic) as well as numerous others. But Hampton doesn't quite make into in our Jam Band God Pantheon. Sorry. Hit the hookah, peruse our tally, and if you still have any energy

Both acts on the evening's bill, the Dexter Romweber Duo and Ben Prestage, masterfully resurrected styles of music popular decades ago - rockabilly and bluegrass, respectively. And each made those styles their own. Despite arguably being
