Mixology

Mixology is a group blog that will feature contributions by our staff. The working title for this blog, in fact, was This Is a Group Blog. (Well, you try to be clever and engaging 24-7. It’s not as easy as it looks.) The blog will offer concert previews and reviews, mini interviews with South Florida musicians, breaking entertainment news, updates on nightclub openings and closings, restaurant recommendations and the occasional rant. What you won’t find here: Pictures of our pets (though they are pretty damn cute), embarrassing, career-ending confessionals about our personal lives (though we’d love to hear about yours) and an overdependence on obnoxious, parenthetical asides (such as this one).

Steve Miller Band brings 14-year-old on stage in Hollywood to rock a memorable version of "Fly Like An Eagle"

Steve Miller Band has been performing its bluesy rock hits for 42 years. While the band formed long before I was born, I always had an affinity for "The Joker" and "Abracadabra." I was supposed to see the band at Sunfest in April, but I missed the show because I was in West Boca Medical Center recovering from a rollover car accident. Seeing the ...

Zac Brown Band plays on at Boca Raton concert despite a stageside brawl

Bar bands have it far worse than touring acts. Occasionally, a beer bottle flies at your head in the middle of a passionate love song and if a full throttle brawl erupts, the top priority is typically protecting the band equipment from getting destroyed. The scene at Sunset Cove Amphitheatre Nov. 14th was mayhem at first. The new West Boca venue...

Get ready to bend and snap...Legally Blonde The Musical opens at Broward Center tonight

Becky Gulsvig played bratty beauty queen Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray on Broadway for two years and was Leilani in Legally Blonde The Musical’s original Broadway production. Now the actress from Moorhead, Minn., has taken the lead in the touring production of Legally Blonde The Musical, which was inspired by Reese Witherspoon’...

Brad Paisley gives West Palm Beach concert goers more than just another "American Saturday Night"

There’s a reason Brad Paisley was nominated for seven Country Music Association awards this year. Not only is he a master of pop culture references in his lyrics, but on stage, he’s on pitch, full of energy and connects with the crowd. Cruzan Amphitheatre was packed with teenagers and 20-40 somethings Oct. 17. When I arrived at gate...

Jukebox @ Swampspace

Photos:

Miami gallery Swampspace may look like a used record shop tonight. That's when TJ Ahearn's Jukebox will open. The installation will include about 50 new collages that Ahearn created on the back of record albums from the '60s and '70s. Each of the works is named for the song from that album that inspired the work. So the exhibiton will include co...

Alan Jackson shows Hollywood country music fans a good time

While most shows I've been to lately have been fairly uncrowded, Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla., was packed Oct. 1 with a cowboy hat wearin' crowd for Alan Jackson. After watching him close the show at the Kiss Chili Cookoff in January, it was enjoyable to see Jackson with a large enough time slot to be able to perform most of his singles. J...

Stitch Rock 2009

Amanda Watkins-Ginther, co-owner of House of Sweets cupcake and cookie bakery, has organized her third annual Stitch Rock. The third-generation seamstress makes crafts and jewelry, including some pieces that were inspired by cupcake sprinkles. Amanda visited many retirement community bazaars crafts-fairs and second hand-shops before launching he...

The Burgies

Miami blogger Burger Beast lured local bloggers and his readers to John Martin’s Irish Pub last weekend to honor the winners of The Burgies. Since Burger Beast isn’t just about Burgers anymore, the awards also gave kudos for best hot dog, croqueta, frita, Cuban sandwich, pizza and other items. The winners were selected by local bl...

Radioboxer's CD release party is a circus

Photos:

Miami alternative rock band Radioboxer will celebrate the release of Radio Drama, its 12-song debut CD featuring songs such as "Don't Shoot at Me" and "Ice Cream for Hard Times," at a party that will resemble a little circus or carnival sideshow. In addition to playing their songs, members of Radioboxer will do magic tricks, tell fortunes,...

WeMerge: Issue 5

Photos:

It's reached the point where before going out for a meal, one must call the restaurant to assure it's still there, and before asking an old friend how work's been treating them, one might want to confirm that they still have a job. All that was once stable now seems fleeting. All the more reasons for a local mag to celebrate every issue that's p...
