Selling Adventure: Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express @ Club Congress, Wednesday 11/11

Former Green on Red guitarist Chuck Prophet returns to Tucson with a new album


Ever since he joined Green on Red 25 years ago, I've wanted to ask singer-songwriter and guitarist Chuck Prophet if he was born with that last name. He set the record straight in an interview last week.


“Would I make that up?” he said… Continue

ALL SOULS PREPARES FOR ITS CLOSE-UP


If you haven't seen the mural painted on the east wall of the Rialto Theatre, you might think that Sunday's show there is just another Calexico concert (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It is not.


Sunday is, of course, the day that… Continue

Alec Ounsworth: Mo Beauty (Anti-)

This pairing of a nasally voiced indie rocker from the Northeast with a collection of New Orleans musicians has yielded a strange hybrid, like alienation finding a solid footing.


Clap Your Hands Say Yeah singer, songwriter and guitarist Alec Ounsworth journeyed to the Crescent City with producer Steve Berlin, who assemb… Continue

Mark Knopfler: Get Lucky (Reprise)

Each release from ex-Dire Straits mastermind Mark Knopfler secures his rep as a classic songwriter—at the expense of his ranking as a guitarist.


Knopfler's sixth solo effort, Get Lucky, is his best in terms of his material, yet it’s his weakest fret-board effort. It’s a tradeoff that many will accept given the… Continue

Monsters of Folk: Monsters of Folk (Shangri-La)

In moments of cynicism, blasphemous notions pop into my head. One example: There should be a one-month hiatus on all new bands. However, should such a fascistic ban occur, projects like Monsters of Folk might not be born, and the world would be a much darker place.


The artists behind Monsters of Folk are by no means ne… Continue

Her stage show was evidence that Peaches is the performer Madonna always wished she could be, from… Continue

2009 Tucson Music Hall of Fame: Calexico

It was about 13 years ago when Joey Burns and John Convertino, then the rhythm section for influential local act Giant Sand, put together a quiet little album of home recordings under the name Spoke. That self-titled album was released by a small German label.


Soon, though, the group changed its name to Calexico—and… Continue
