Live Reviews Crown Town Showdown - Week 2
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, May 6, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Last night was the second Crowntown Showdown at the Evening Muse.
Another solid group of performers showed up and made the judging difficult again — but that's not a bad problem to have.
The winner was Austin Hill, who also plays with Humans, who showed off some great songwriting and funky fingerpicking.
Runners-up were Nathan Taylor, who did some finger picking of his own, and Matt Gilmore who showed an incredible amount of talent that exists in the youth of today.
Honorable mention to Federal Falls which consists of two of last month's contestants — Case Federal and Nikki Falls. The duo offered up two great songs and fell just shy of being in the top three — on my scorecard, at least.
The humor of Will Delacroix and Doug Williams was also a highlight of the night.
Check out the next round — June 2 at The Evening Muse.

Live Reviews Live Review: Lou Reed

Lou Reed
Carolina Theatre, Durham
April 28, 2008
By Grant Britt
Lou Reed at 7:30? The concept boggles the mind. Reed’s music is for the wee hours, set in some smoky, dangerous dive. But the early evening show at Durham’s Carolina Theater Monday night showed Reed in his guise of a hard rock thunderer who could fill an arena with his power-chorded, jammy anthems.
He looked the same as ever, a curly-haired, street-wise waif. Clad in a leather t shirt and jeans and chewing gum, Reed appeared as jaded and world-weary as his song catalogue.
