There will be a new king by the end of tonight. No, SGF hasn’t become a monarchy, though there are moments where one wonders. We’re talking about King of the Roots, a battle of the bands to send the winner to the Main Stage at the Roots ‘n’ Blues ‘n’ BBQ festival in Columbia October [...]

The Outland complex on South Avenue welcomes two very different shows tonight, one upstairs at The Outland Ballroom and the other at ground level in The Outland. Upstairs The Culprit brings British style hard rock (same as American style except less angry, in case you’re wondering) with a strong pair of local openers in Assembly [...]

Don’t know MeTalkPretty yet? Chances are you will soon. The New York-based band was featured on the soundtrack to EA Sports’ NHL ’10 video game, an en vogue way for young bands to break. Oprah.com ran a lengthy feature on the band’s singer, Julia Preotu. The band is headed for the Vans Warped Tour in [...]

Tonight is a special night. Black Clover Records owner and recording artist Mac Lethal, the Kansas City-based MC behind one of SGF’s most memorable concerts, is back for an even bigger show. See, Roots of Mankind–not seen on a Springfield stage since December’s Jah Roots Band debut, if our occasionally hazy memory serves–is among the [...]

The biggest problem tonight: What to choose? Berch‘s anniversary show? Black Box Revue with two guest performers? An all-acoustic Red Dirt rock-out? The Skeletons playing a weekend gig? The truth is every location we found with music in its room is bringing the quality tonight. It’s the kind of music evening one always hopes for [...]

Picture this scenario, if you will: A talented nationally touring blues guitarist–Chris Bell, let’s say–comes to SGF to play a show. There’s a cover, obviously, but not if you walk into the club the night of the show and give the doorperson the codeword. Only happens in the movies, you say? For tonight, at least, [...]

This isn’t your usual Tuesday night of open mics at The Outland. No, tonight The Bootheel rides, and with good reason: The band is kicking off its Aggressively Midwestern Tour through Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska. The merch table is now fully stocked with shirts, copies of the band’s Gold [...]

…Not to be confused with The Folk Implosion, which was pretty cool in its own right: The Gillioz Theatre is bringing big-time folk and bluegrass to SGF tonight, with Dar Williams, Sara Watkins and The HillBenders all performing onstage.

No, we’re not discussing the finer points of ’90s Tom Berenger movies, though if you want to travel down that road consider this a vote for Major League II.

There is always one time of year the Springfield music fan can count on seeing bands get back together for a once-a-year (at best, sometimes) show: the Christmas/New Year’s holiday period, when old-time SGFers fly back into the city to see old friends and family and when classes are on break. This year, at least, [...]

May tonight’s meeting of the musical minds blow your mind. There’s a good chance that it will.
