I hadn’t even heard of Brad Williams until a week or so before the comedy fest. The internet told me about him, the internet is good like that. I’m always trawling through the intertubes for new standup comedians to both laugh at and idolize in equal measure. And to be completely honest with you, I [...]

It’s sort of like being the the guy behind the camera all night that misses out on the party because he wants it all recorded. In the end he has 60 good photos to put on Facebook, but [...]

Donavon Frankenreiter; Fish Out Of Water

November 9, 2010

I’m a fan of Donavon Frankenreiter but I will say straight off the bat his show is much better suited to an outdoor venue. Sitting on a blanket on a summer afternoon, grass between your toes, relaxing with friends enjoying a beer or a bottle of red – that’s what this music is about. The [...]
