I've taken the liberty of highlighting shows I'd go see if I had the freedom and time to travel more!!
CLUTCH - Tonight
I head to Lancaster to catch one of my all time favorite bands back in action. I haven't see Clutch in over 10 years. But I don't anticipate their intensity diminishing in anyway.
Take a look at these tour dates for Clutch and many other bands coming through Philly in the 2nd half of April. It is a really, really great time to see a band right now. If you aren't going to a show in April or May this year, something is wrong!!! Bands are everywhere right now!!
Let's start of with the release from CLUTCH::
"Maryland rockers CLUTCH are kicking off their North American tour tonight in Norfolk, VA at The Norva. CLUTCH's upcoming tour features headlining shows, co-headlining dates with HELLYEAH and a radio festival appearance. A complete list of dates can be found below.
CLUTCH is hitting the road in support of their double vinyl edition of Blast Tyrant
which is available via Weathermaker Music. This 180+ gram expanded
vinyl contains 16 songs and includes six mini-posters taken
straight from Blast Tyrant's "Atlas of the Invisible
World". Each illustrated poster is sized (8.5" x 11") and depicts one
of the various characters featured within the Blast Tyrant storyline. CLUTCH will also be releasing a picture disc single of the new track "Pigtown Blues" on June 19th. This is the first new studio material from CLUTCH since 2009's Strange Cousins From the West."

Not since college have I been to a house concert, but it's finally happening. I'm heading to Boston to catch a Sox game with some great friends. And lo and behold, I fit in a concert. Ironically enough it's for one of the bands that is making me consider going to Newport Folk Festival the most!!

Elizabeth Mitchell
Children's folk superstar Elizabeth Mitchell comes through town at the end of the month. She has a deep catalog of incredible children's songs, that just flat out are great to listen to with you kids. I've been listening to them since my little one was born! She's a measuring stick for all children's artists, and has been invited back to Newport Folk Festival this year. Just to give you an idea of her quality, she's been signed to Smithsonian Folkways label! For more info, check out one of my older posts!
