I wish the cheap-ass message board software I'm using would allow for links on a post, but it won't. So go ahead and post links to other sites if you want, everybody just keep in mind that you'll need to copy and paste the link into your browser window.

One more note...although ain't nothing wrong with a post like "Gov't Mule rules!" or "Widespread Panic is just that!," I'd rather see some stuff that's more unknown to most of us. (If you're a Mofro fan and don't know who Gov't Mule is, what the hell are YOU smoking?)

Let's all share our wealth of musical knowledge, old and new!

The Gourds have become known for their cover of Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice, which was circulating the internet as being done by Phish or Primus for years. Nonetheless, A kick-ass band who has flown under the radar for a long time now. Check their Shinebox and Blood of the Ram albums, amongst all their others.

Old Crow plays ol' timey music with a twist. Great energy and highly talented group of guys. They play a lot of original tunes and they'll break out some traditional folk/bluegrass tunes that you would never think of, especially for a group of young guys. There self-titled album O.C.M.S album is classic and there latest, Big Iron World is great as well.

Ben is a 1-man show, a real treasure to see live.

Got a couple to add myself. We went to Tropical Heatwave, an outdoor music fest, couple weeks back. Saw Amanda Shaw, a 17 year old fiddle player that burned up the stage. She crosses genre's, but it's all based on Nawlins roots music.

The other band to see/hear is Groovesect. These are 5 Cracka's, also from Nawlins, that can play some serious funk, and have a good time while doing it. The bass player is one damn fine mother-plucker.

Lastly, I forgot to post this one earlier, but Inca Maya is a Jax based band that a lot of Florida fans know about. Their lead singer/guitarist--Matt Grondin--sits in w/MOFRO in Florida often, and the man can play. His sweeping makes me stop dead in my tracks with my mouth wide open. Last time it happened, some chick thought I was in some sort of catatonic state and threw water in my face.

Oh and of course, WEEN. Kind of hard to describe if yer not familiar, they've been around forever and throw DOWN live with some truly unique tunes.

Have you guys checked out "Zappa Plays Zappa"? I guess you gotta like Frank, and thats definitely an aquired taste, but his son Dweezil RIPS, and has a band together right now with some old Zappa alumni playing his Dad's tunes and they are TEARIN shit up.

And of course this is the obligatory MOFRO fan's response but THE LEGENDARY JC's blow me away every time I see them. Eugene is a true entertainer. Aaaand to round it out, as mentioned in another thread, and on display next weekend in St Aug, NERVOUS TURKEY lays down the gritty gritty, don't miss them...

I'm not a fan of their newest album "Attack and Release" as much as some of their older stuff. As with a lot of bands it is hard to capture that grit on record. They went for a more produced sound it seems on this album.

Check out the albums "ThickFreakness" or "The Big Come Up"

I'm going to see them back in Asheville at The Orange Peel where I first saw them in October and I can't wait!

Black Keys also rock. Two guys from ohio. Very loud, very hard rockin. great stuff.

Of course I love me some North Miss. Allstars and Dave Matthews Band always puts on a great show on a more mainstream level. RIP LeRoi Moore.

Also Jerry Joseph, any of his projects...Jackmormons,Denmark Vessys,Solo.

Thanks for the drop down menu, made this thread extremely easy to find... here is two to add to this list.

Gomez - They are playing with the guys on the run through Texas. An old college buddy of mine loves this band. They are from England, alot of acoustic, good music.

Tim Gearan - as Blues as it gets - great on guitar and his lyrics are something else. From the Boston area and pretty much plays in just that area from what I understand.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,

I saw G. Love recently and the guy who openned for him was named Eric Hutchinson. He plays the guitar and piano. Hes kinda more mainstream than most of the other stuff I listen to but, he swung back around on his own tour and I caught his show. He brings alot of energy and his songs are pretty good.

I thought of a couple more bands that are easy on my ears:

Canned Heat
Cat Stevens

And I was listening to some of my older CD's this weekend and I heard a song I ain't heard in a while and thought it would make for a cool cover song for Mofro, "Dear Mr. Fantasy" by Traffic. Love the harp in that song........

I wish I can say that I see a lot of live music right now, but I just don't. I will see some Cowboy Mouth this weekend, and maybe some Jupiter Coyote, Rusted Root, and Guster soon...

There's a band at this festival in Atlanta called "Honey Island Swamp Band" - sounds Mofroish.

Another band I thoroughly enjoy seeing is Abbey Road Live. They're on the road a lot now so if you get chance to see them, do. You won't be disappointed.

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be

Outstanding show!! One of my new favorites. Get it while you can.

I'd love to be a hippy

I have been jamming out to The Band of Heathens non-stop for 2 weeks now. They are out of Texas. Check out their Abbey Theatre show on the Archive, and their Austin City Limits show on YouTube.

Lately, I have been on a classic rock kick and have listened to The Band's The Last Waltz so many times, I'm surprised the mp3 of it hasn't deteriorated!

Tracie and I are checking out Band of Heathens tomorrow night. The are opening for Mofro on April 10 in Atlanta.

I've lived in Lake Worth, Florida for 30 plus years, so yeah, I'll say Ben Prestage.

But, I have recently become a fan of 'Viva Le Vox' from Delray Beach, Florida. Some people have described them as "a hillbilly zombie circus" or "a creedence breakdown in the middle of a tim burton nightmare, a vaudevillian honky tonk gunfight".
I'll just say that they are a unique, entertaining, voodoo swamp, tattooed freak show psychobilly quartet that will leave you questioning what you just witnessed. They Do Not play the type of music I would ordinarily listen to but I found myself sucked into the experience.

Listening to iTunes doesn't come close to their Live Shows. I photographed a recent Everglades Benefit show @ Propaganda in Lake Worth. Also on the bill was Grant Peeples, Valerie C. Wisecracker, & Everymen. Check this link for the photos http://daek10d.zenfolio.com/p954260701
