David Crosby’s final band will reconvene later this summer for a special concert honoring the folk rock legend, who died back in January.
The show is both a tribute, as well as a make-up show of sorts: Crosby was originally scheduled to perform a set of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young classics at the Lobero Theatre on Feb. 22 to mark the Santa Barbara venue’s 150th birthday. The gig was obviously called off after his death, but now the band he assembled for that show will gather at the Lobero on Aug.

Over the weekend, Dolly Parton’s 1979 album, Great Balls of Fire, turned 44 years old. The album came out during a time when the country star was making big changes to her career. She had plans of becoming a superstar, and needed to get her music heard by a wider audience. So she put out some music that wasn’t necessarily true to her roots. Let’s take a look back at the 1979 album and what Parton thought about it.

Early in 2010, Bret McKenzie decided it was about time he started guitar lessons. The New Zealand-born actor and songwriter enrolled himself in a class at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles, a music school founded in 2001 by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. McKenzie’s new guitar teacher was naturally curious about what had inspired him to head back to school alongside children and beginners. He told him he had a show coming up. “He was like: ‘Oh that’s good, where are you playing?’” recalls the 46-year-old in his broad Kiwi accent. Sitting in the light and airy home studio above his garage in Wellington, he contorts his more-salt-than-pepper beard into an awkward grimace. “I was like: ‘Er, yeah... we’re playing the Hollywood Bowl.” He bursts out laughing. “Something very strange happened there.”

The Iraq war has given the film industry plenty of cinematic fodder, mostly forgettable, but the emotional traumas faced by returning soldiers is relatively uncharted in this particular context until now. There’s Jim Sheridan’s "Brothers", but offering a more realistic and emotionally grounded perspective is "The Dry Land", a superbly crafted film from first time feature director Ryan Piers Williams.
The film’s central character is James (an impressive Ryan O’Nan) who returns from Iraq to try and fit back into his small-town life in Texas. His beautiful wife (America Ferrera), his mother (Melissa Leo), and his friend (Jason Ritter) try to provide support, without ever realising or understanding the pain and suffering he feels since his tour of duty ended.
Feeling isolated and subconsciously taking out unwanted emotional aggression on those closest to him, especially his wife, James reconnects with an army buddy (Wilmer Valderrama) who...
