July 22, 2014 Recap

With so much happening in the world of music and the world of Ragin' Randy yesterday, I figured a nice recap was in order. First, I had my first article published on Live For Live Music yesterday, a review of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' upcoming album Hypnotic Eye.

Album Review: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Hypnotic Eye (July 29, 2014) - Live For Live Music

Next, my review of The McLovins' show at Newby's on July 15, 2014 was published on Live Music Daily.

Concert Review: The McLovins - Newby's, Memphis, TN (July 15, 2014) - Live Music Daily

Links to both of these reviews, as well as all of my past reviews, will be held in the Album Reviews and Concert Reviews tabs of this site.

We were also lucky enough to have several tour date and festival lineup announcement yesterday. The big Fall Tour announcements came from Phish, Papadosio, Lettuce w/Exmag and Late Night Radio (special guests for some shows include Gramatik and Soulive) and Beats Antique w/Shpongle, Emancipator and Lafa Taylor, while the final festival lineup announcement for moe.down 15 was announced as well. These lineups are presented below. There is still plenty more to come from Ragin' Randy in the upcoming months, so please stay tuned, and thank you for your support!

             

Phish Announces Fall Tour 2014

The fun never ends today as Phish announces a 12-date fall tour hitting the West Coast and ending with a 3-night run in Las Vegas for Halloween weekend. Since the West Coast didn't get any love on the Summer Tour, it comes as no surprise that Fall Tour makes it's way through. For ticketing information, click here.
