Brent Cobb

Show Review: Brent Cobb at City Winery with Gabe Lee opening

February 16, 2022February 16, 2022Mark McLennan0

Saturday Night Service with Brent Cobb in New York City   It’s been two long years without live music. Lately it’s my fault, but New York’s been tough and so choosing to go out and enjoy the live events that are slowly coming back is kind of like a muscle that needs to be worked […]

REVIEW: Sam Morrow’s “Gettin’ By on Gettin’ Down” Alleviates the Pandemic Blues

November 12, 2020November 12, 2020Mark McLennan0

Photos by Mark McLennan So Sam Morrow has that one thing going for him that not everyone has—the guy is cool and all of his work is imbued with that. I was introduced to him a couple years ago when he played a few shows in London before I moved over to NYC. I was […]

REVIEW: Corb Lund’s “Agricultural Tragic” and the State We’re In

June 26, 2020June 26, 2020Mark McLennan0

Been a big Corb Lund fan for years now. First time I ever heard him is one of things burned into my brain. Back in summer 2006 I was playing in a punk rock band, travelling up north to Edmonton to play a show—must’ve been July. An older brother decided to come and sell t-shirts […]

Show Review: Flatland Cavalry and William Clark Green Bring Some Red Dirt to Manhattan

February 19, 2020February 19, 2020Mark McLennan0

One the best parts of going out to country shows in NYC is the people who come out. Not that it’s surprising, but up here in the Northeast country and western isn’t exactly the natural soundtrack so you can never be sure who will turn up. Plus, on a Saturday night in Manhattan you can […]

Show Review: Tyler Childers Plays What Could be His Last Club Show in New York City at Brooklyn Steel

December 18, 2019December 18, 2019Mark McLennan0

It’s crazy to think that just over two years ago I went and saw Tyler Childers play to about 20 people at the Slaughtered Lamb in London, UK on his first trip out of the States. Now, Brooklyn Steel (and every other venue he shows up to) are packed to the rafters. What’s even more […]

Show Review: An Evening with Sturgill Simpson: Heavier than Heaven

October 9, 2019October 9, 2019Mark McLennan1

After extensive touring on the back of a Grammy win for A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, Sturgill Simpson went back into the woods. Turns out, he “spent the last year going out of [his] mind”. So on a Sunday night, in Brooklyn, he was characteristically tight lipped. Sound & Fury did most of the talking. […]

Show Review: Ian Noe at Rockwood Music Hall was Full of Rich Imagery

October 9, 2019October 9, 2019Mark McLennan0

  The first time I saw Ian Noe, he was opening for Colter Wall in London UK. I got there early, hoping to get nice and close to stage to see Colter do his thing. Noe came on stage, unaccompanied. I admit, I had been still talking to darling girl when he announced his name […]

REVIEW: Sturgill Simpson’s “Sound and Fury” is Cathartic and Seething

September 26, 2019September 27, 2019Mark McLennan0

I’m not sure I’m the right guy to do an objective Sturgill Simpson review.  Metamodern Sounds in Country Music came into my life at a low point.  Living overseas, feeling disconnected from home, I put music on the backburner, focused on work.  Sold my guitar; stopped going to shows. But for whatever reason this weird purple album […]

Show Review: Brent Cobb Brings a Little Georgia to the Bowery Ballroom

September 24, 2019September 24, 2019Mark McLennan0

Being able to see Brent Cobb, and his band Them, in an intimate setting is a privilege. He’s spent much of the year opening up for Chris Stapleton on the All-American Roadshow, but you can tell he’s having a hell of a time on this Sucker for a Good Time headlining tour from all the […]

Show Review: Blackberry Smoke Play the Big Apple Breakdown

September 10, 2019September 10, 2019Mark McLennan0

Admittedly, I walked into the Blackberry Smoke show on Friday night only familiar with their “Essentials Playlist” on Apple Music. But I walked out of there certain that I needed to buy some bootcut jeans, a little turquoise and grow some chops. J.D. Simo opened the show. For those that don’t know, J.D. is objectively […]
