Glen Phillips
. I live in Santa Barbara, the city of my birth, with my wife and three children, two chickens and a golden retriever. I released Mr. Lemons independently, as part of a decision to shift from the insanity of the record business to the manageability of a family business. My family and I embarked on a nine-month tour through Europe starting in September of 2006, living and traveling in a motor home. Much delicious food was cooked and consumed. Art and music was created. Fine friends were made. Mirth ensued. I was in a band called Toad the Wet Sprocket when I was a boy. We sold over three million records, had a handful of radio hits ...Glen Phillips tour dates and bio
Sara Watkins
You could say that Sara Watkins’ solo debut has been a lifetime in the making. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter and fiddle player spent nearly two decades—all of her teenage and young adult life—as one-third of Nickel Creek, the Grammy Award–winning acoustic trio that used contemporary bluegrass as a starting point for its no-genre-barred sound. Along the way, she’s hinted at her desire to do a project of her own and even organized some exploratory sessions in Los Angeles about six years ago.

Old Town School of Folk Music

Located in a 43,000-square-foot former library, this beehive of musical activity boasts a 400-seat concert hall, music store, classrooms, resource center and rotating art exhibits. It's as much a concert venue as it is a learning center, and it's easy to lose an afternoon ducking in and out of its many quarters. For the aspiring musician, Old Town offers a staggering number of classes, from standard guitar lessons to chord chemistry, harmonica, bluegrass banjo and ukulele, as well as songwriting, theater, yoga and dance; hip hop and belly-dancing lessons prove this place is about more than folk music alone. For inspiration on what to play, be sure to visit the Different Strummer music shop near the front entrance, which is regularly hailed as the best music store in Chicago for stringed instruments. Packed with sheet music, mandolins, guitars and drums, it's almost impossible to walk through this orderly space without wanting to take an instrument home. For the commitment-phobic, you can also rent an instrument here, and if you later decide to buy the instrument, a portion of your rental fee will go towards the purchase price. Looking to listen to rather than make music? Old Town's intimate auditorium hosts regular concerts by local musicians and crowd-drawing national acts, such as the Magnetic Fields and Joni Mitchell. To keep you going between concerts, head to the Resource Center, a loungey space where you can kick back and listen to archived concerts and radio shows while flipping through a book or magazine from the impressive on-site library.Post a Countdown Widget
