Here is a list of events: http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/local-haiti-benefit-concerts-still-happening-tonight-jan-29 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:23:27 -0500 Click to view larger You would have to imagine that any woman who fell in love with Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn during her early 20s and plays a 1920s Weymann guitar would offer something unique to the present-day music world. Miss Tess does. http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/miss-tess-and-bon-ton-parade-swing-town-some-speakeasystyle-jazz Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:51:30 -0500 What's happening at the bigger venues this week? Quite a bit, actually... Update: This concert has been postponed: Owl City, a music project by Adam Young, has sold out his Saturday, Jan. 30, show with LIGHTS at The NorVa. Who knew simple "Fireflies" would be so appealing to so many? Owl City - Fireflies http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/owl-city-sold-out-we-still-have-montreal-and-travis-tritt-winterblast-and-joe Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:49:21 -0500 It's been a long week so far, with more grim news out of Haiti, the very public display that "Change" isn't ready to work yet in Congress, and all of our normal day to day lives and worries on top of it.  We can't make Congress listen to us and work towards our needs without changing voting habits, and our day to day lives will get better with a little bit of luck and hard work. http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/give-little-love-haiti-and-do-world-some-good Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:50:35 -0500 If you've ever been to the Taphouse, 37th and Zen, or The Boot, there's a chance you've heard a DJ spinning an eclectic mix of funk, soul, rock, hip hop, and latin music. Some of it you may have dug, and some of it may have been new and unfamiliar. Odds are, is that DJ was none other than DJ Cornbread. http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/local-artist-profile-dj-cornbread Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:59:28 -0500 With yesterday being what would have been Elvis' 75th birthday, it seemed appropriate to stop and look at someone who's a part of the soulful R&B genre that influenced Elvis' sound, as well as someone who creates in a medium that draws from the worlds of soul and rock. Both are known commodities in Hampton Roads' music scene, and were kind enough to lend some insight to just who they are. http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/local-music-profile-jon-bibbs Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:34:51 -0500 A quick note to get a few things in before everyone cuts off their work computers and runs home to start planning for their evening. http://hamptonroads.com/2010/01/hail-king-baby Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:10:01 -0500
