This series has been gone (since last November) but not forgotten, and I got a chance to dust off the camera, clean the cobwebs out of my musical ears, and check out some of the local bands at the Pig...

I’m actually a week overdue on this one, because I meant to post this the weekend after the Delmarva Chicken Festival. Hopefully Tom Larsen and his Lookin’ for Trouble band don’t mind the wait. As I...

Subtitled: the 5th Annual (Save the…) BreastFest edition. I’ve been to all five of these events and I have to tell you this was probably the most successful. They finally got the two ingredients they...

If you can’t tell the lineup without a scorecard, it’s probably good that I begin with this photo. I always find it very helpful that the folks who run the Good Beer Festival put this board up,...

Every so often something comes along which puts me at the intersection of doing something I enjoy because I find it interesting, being able to write about it, and making a little bit of money. Tomorrow...

Normally I do things in a different order when I cover multifaceted events, but this week I found myself in a little bit of a quandry with no new release to review from my musical patron and some...

This year’s Good Beer Festival entertainment lineup featured an eclectic collection of bands, so let’s take a look. One thing I should caution you about: my reviews of the bands are somewhat limited...

Unlike its younger brother the Good Beer Festival, this year the Autumn Wine Festival had more local bands – and arguably more rock – than the GBF. It is also much easier to compile this summary, as...

Last weekend was a good weekend for local music buffs, particularly in the Long Neck, Delaware area. I’ve often wondered if those people who live by American Legion Post 28 there sit outside on the...

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these, and what once was a monthly (or sometimes weekly) feature is down to two or three a year. As a guy I know would say, that’s a shame. I also know...

(As opposed to Order 6-D6, a long-defunct local group I really liked.) I’m not going to stretch the definition of local too much with this much more brief look back at the Autumn Wine Festival, but it...

This year I write this message with a heavy heart. It’s not because the world seems to have gone more haywire or the political world is its normal maddening self. Instead, it’s because a member of the...

Over the years I’ve noticed the local music community is more than willing to help out and I’ve been to several of these benefits over the years. But last Saturday it was time to assist one of their...

As I did from last month, I’m building on 3rd Friday to provide another edition of WLR. But in this installment I’ll profile a local group doing good through music. The “official” 3rd Friday group...

To tell you how long I have been out of circulation regarding the local music scene, consider this is my first WLR post in over a year. Sometimes things in life change, and honestly I haven’t been in...

Normally this (more and more) occasional series talks about local groups in a local setting, but it’s not unprecedented for me to discuss a group that’s from outside our region. Such is the case with...

For this installment I return with a look at some of the music from the Good Beer Festival. Unfortunately I missed the more enticing (to me) half of the music on Friday evening – a lineup that featured...

This will be a unique post in the WLR annals because I’m going to depart from chronological order. As I noted the other day in discussing the AWF, I wasn’t there as long as I had been in the past – so...
