[Count Me Out] Album Review: The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar
The Bonnaroo Music Festival is keeping their name out in the world between their massive summer shindigs by sponsoring a fall tour with indie bands White Denim and Maps & Atlases.




















Schoolkids Records on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh will host two big in-store performances this fall that they have just announced.
California swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy made a splash in the late 1990's with the unlikely hits "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)" and "Go Daddy-O" which drove their self-titled album to sell more that a million copies. The band are hitting the road this fall supporting their new album Rattle Them Bones and will make a stop just outside the Triangle.
Acclaimed bluegrass (or newgrass as some call it) singer-songwriter and mandolin player Sam Bush will be on the road this fall with his band and they'll make a stop in the Triangle.
According to the Ovens Auditorium website, the Charlotte date of Grammy winner Anthony Hamilton's Back to Love Tour has been canceled. No explanation was given, but tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
Two familiar names are returning to uptown Friday. After taking a break, the annual Guinness/Newcastle Oysterfest featuring New Orleans' preeminent party-rock band, Cowboy Mouth, returns but this time the hub for tunes, booze, and food will take place at NC Music Factory's Fountain Plaza.
The 23rd annual International Bluegrass Music Awards take place at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville Thursday and Cherryville's Darin and Brooke Aldridge Band (pictured above) are up for Emerging Artist of the Year. The emerging artist award is given to a new group on the bluegrass scene that's made particularly strong strides either commercially or artistically. The title has previously been awarded to Nickel Creek, the Infamous String Dusters, and current IBMA 2012 Entertainer of the Year nominees Dailey & Vincent and the Steep Canyon Rangers (who are nominated in that category along with band leader/actor Steve Martin).





The second annual Between 2 Rivers Music Festival will take place October 13 in Belmont. The benefit concert will feature Carolina country and roots music acts the Josh Fosdick Band, Baylor Drive, Walt Wilkins & the Mystiqueros, Mt. Woodland Band, and Greenville, SC's Piedmont Boys (pictured above) as well as Texas' (by way of Oklahoma) No Justice.
Following the recent release of its new album, "The Carpenter," the Avett Brothers announced Wednesday that it will spend New Year's Eve in the Carolinas again. This year's annual NYE show will take place at Greensboro Coliseum Monday, December 31, with special guest Amos Lee.
