What's your soundtrack to the end of the world as we know it?

By Jim Nintzel Apr 2, 2020

At 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, every restaurant, bar, club and cafe in the City of Tucson closed its doors through the end of the month in an attempt to slow the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus. While this obviously dealt a massive blow to the food and hospitality industries, it also stripped local musicians of vital performance opportunities.

Season of the Hitch

English singer/songwriter and former Soft Boys man Robyn Hitchcock has been compared to the very best: Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Roger McGuinn, Bryan Ferry and the like. Compliments don’t come much greater, but it’s also a massive error to try to box the guy in. Hitchcock’s career, his songwriting, is full of quirky twists and turns. He’s pop but rock. He’s psychedelic but post-punk. He’s Robyn Hitchcock, and he’s exactly what he wants to be.

Know Your Product

The mark of a good blues player is knowing when to shut up and let the guitar sing. The mark of a great blues player is being able to balance voice and instrument in such a symbiotic fashion they become more than the sum of their parts.

Go With the Flow

Dry River Redemption has its headwaters, so to speak, in two separate batches of songs, and the album itself became what flowed downstream from the confluence.

Happy 100th birthday, Rialto Theatre!

At last year’s Century of Tucson party, Hotel Congress passed the centennial torch to their cross-street neighbor, the Rialto Theatre. While the Rialto’s official hundred-year anniversary lands on August 29, 2020, they’re filling the whole year with festivities, kicking things off with the eighth annual Rialto Theatre Fundraising Gala on Saturday, Feb. 29.
