acoustic

At first glance, an acoustic day at Balloonfest 2013 seems kind of weird. But the more you think about it, the better the idea gets! It's something we haven't done since Zakk Wylde came down and performed songs from his then new album Book of Shadows. (Anyone else remember that?) That was a really cool show, and something people really didn't expect from Zakk at the time...heck, it's still odd to

British alt band "A Silent Film" stopped by our suite at the Four Seasons during SXSW to perform, and they talked about pretty much everything...except SXSW! Much to the delight of the group.

I was one of the unlucky ones to miss Trapts concert, but got my fix for being able to drive Trapt around El Paso.

These days, you never know what a singer has had done to their voice in a recording studio to make them sound better. But not for Halestorm's Lzzy Hale. To prove she's the real deal check out this live acoustic performance in Pittsburgh.

Last week the Dirty River Boys performed at Cool Canyon Nights. With an impressive local following, we can all agree they’re a band worth driving to see, but it was the opening act that had me speechless.

Art of Dying got into the studio with Disturbed's Dan Donegan to record an acoustic version of their song "Sorry", and then asked their fans to change their profile pics to add the word "sorry" to it and they'd be included in the video for the song...

We've been hearing a lot about the new Stone Sour double-CD concept recording they've been working on, House of Bones and Gold, that should be out in October. What we really haven't heard is any of the music. Until now.

Dead Sara stopped by the KLAQ studios to perform a special acoustic set for some loyal fans before their show at Tricky Falls with Chevelle this evening. They played a couple songs live for us (see below) and then hung out with winners and talked Balloonfest, and their hopes to ride in a balloon when they come down!

What a way to kick off  a weekend in the Southwest but to have The Dreaming live in the studio.

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell will hit the road this April and May on his first ever solo acoustic tour, "Songbook".  He'll be playing songs from his entire career, and some covers.
