- Urban bards
“You’ll find us. We’ll sound like Kenny G on acid.”
- Arresting developments
Lack of talent, charisma, and/or personality can prevent a good band from achieving greatness — but too much of a good thing can also be a problem.

Photos from George Wein's 50th annual Folk Festival at Fort Adams State Park, Newport.
- Doin’ it live
The winter concert scene’s got something for everybody, from Averi to Zakir Hussain. Okay, I couldn’t resist that bit of alphabetical hackery, but it’s true.
- Show and tell

- All at once

- Matter of characters
Two men are on the phone.

- Keys to our hearts
"I’ve never been someone that goes to the ‘it’ places and does the ‘it’ things and goes to the ‘it’ restaurant and go to the ‘it’ club. I like more off-the-beaten-path kind of things."
