Show Photos: Tribal Momentum on Little Village Live – 8/10
Another Wednesday at PS1 brought another great band to the KRUI airwaves. This week, I had the pleasure of hearing the Tribal Momentum. This four-piece reminded me of some of the great jam bands of the late 90s, but I wouldn’t label them as a jam band proper. They’re better than that.

Watch Skye Carrasco on Little Village Live
Last week’s episode of Little Village Live featured local musician Skye Carrasco, marking her second appearance on the show (much to our benefit). Carrasco is back in Iowa City after spending some time writing songs in Portland, Ore., and we couldn’t be happier to have this talented artist in our midst once again.

This week on Little Village Live, local favorite Samuel Locke Ward played a full set and, as it turns out, we’re still picking up jaws off the floor.

Iowa City Weekender: July 14-16
We’re deep in the summer now. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this momentary respite from the heat that we’ve gotten these past couple of days, completing some of those tasks that you could just not complete when it was hot out like taking care of the garden or living your life how you want.

Show Photos: Ed Gray on Little Village Live – 6/15
Ed Gray is as unpredictable as he is talented. He hit the modest stage at PS1 with his freshly released album the Old Bending River. He played the album in it’s entirety over the KRUI airwaves, speckling the performance with his playful, erratic humor. I laugh at the thought of people on their homebound commutes tuning in to hear Ed’s sporadic, blaring shouts in to the mic, his dry, on point sarcasm and flippant responses to the hosts’ queries.
