Willie DeFord

Willie lives in Grand Junction, Colorado. Attorney by day, blue-grass musician by night. Now, I’ve never seen him do any lawyer things. I’m just assuming he’s as good as they get.

How to rock Provo – The Starlight Mints

Then, the Starlight Mints. The Starlight Mints, photographed in Provo Utah at Velour. ….. Justin Hackworth photographs [...]

Mirah

I was hoping to hear more music while I was in New York, but as it turns out, the only act we saw was Mirah. Mellow and lovely.

My new favorite band

I just started listening to a great band from Alabama called Pine Hill Haints. Good thing my amps go to 11 because it’s good to listen to these guys LOUD.

Kid Theodore

The Salt Lake chapter of AIGA (no, they aren’t a grocers union) screened the great documentary, Helvetica on Wednesday. Before the show, the fabulous local band Kid Theodore played. Just because they are from Salt Lake doesn’t mean these guys don’t ROCK. If you get the chance, check them out.

Rock and Roll’s most literate band

Who said rock and rollers can’t be erudite? Well the Dickens are. Here’s their reunion tour (Sarah’s mom’s back porch), now with wives and children and stories of what it’s like to have a job.
