- Urban bards
“You’ll find us. We’ll sound like Kenny G on acid.”
- Arresting developments
Lack of talent, charisma, and/or personality can prevent a good band from achieving greatness — but too much of a good thing can also be a problem.
- Photos: George Wein's Folk Festival 2009
Photos from George Wein's 50th annual Folk Festival at Fort Adams State Park, Newport.
- Doin’ it live
The winter concert scene’s got something for everybody, from Averi to Zakir Hussain. Okay, I couldn’t resist that bit of alphabetical hackery, but it’s true.
- Show and tell
After a brief late-December break from the usual boatload of good shows, the flood picks up right where it left off in early January.

Here’s a guide to some you might want to buy early for, a few of which have already been rescheduled due to recent snowstorms.
- All at once
If nothing else, the release of The Spirit of Apollo (Anti-) a few weeks ago by the intercontinental hip-hop/baile/other duo of N.A.S.A. (that’s North America/South America) makes an encouraging, if not actually uttered, statement.

The best summer music festivals take something from the season: the smell of the surf, the sight of the mountains, fireworks, lawn seating — or, at least, fried dough.
- Swede heart
Few contemporary singers achieve as perfect a confluence of sound and image as Sarah Assbring. It's deeply reassuring to hear mournful, stylized '60s pop coming out of a melancholic beanpole who resembles a recently bereaved Edie Sedgwick.
- Matter of characters
Two men are on the phone.
- Guest lists
What small, private lists like this remind us is that big, honking institutional lists are largely fictions, mirages of a consensus that no longer exists, if it ever really did in the first place.
