The Nod Chill Out with “Traffic” – Live at The Annex

Wisconsin Rock trio The Nod recently opened up for Marcy Playground along with fellow Madisonians The Media, playing to a fairly packed crowd at The Annex.

So when I went to see the Solid Gold show at the Annex in Madison the other night, I had no idea I was going to catch a talented group like Flight.

Lucky me, because this band rocks.

Led by singer/guitarist Jentri Colello, Flight (previously Flatbear) gave me shivers with their haunting melodies and “just [...]

Paint and Percussion: The Mighty Joe White ft. Brota

Quite a while back Tomah Mackie called me about a cool multi-cam project he was doing at the Annex, recording the Mighty Joe White during an art show featuring local visual artists Brota and Joe Reedy among others (hit me at joe@joeguerilla.com if you know who else was featured that night, I can’t find it [...]
