“Remember, the best way to support live music is to actually go see live music.”– Larry Jack Sammons Ho ho holy shit, it’s December somehow! Here’s the next couple of weeks worth of shows to the best of my knowledge.    Personally, I’m kinda stoked to see Evergreen Terrace again. They were amazing at AURA Fest a couple years ago and highly recommended if you like gnarly metal, metalcore specifically if you’re picky about your nasty metal genres. Great live, mosh at your own risk.  That Minks/Black Hat show at El Rocko will be great, too. Two of Larry Jack’s favorite psych rock b ..read more

“Remember, the best way to support live music is to actually go see live music.”– Larry Jack Sammons What a turnout at Eastern Wharf for Larry Jack’s List this past Saturday! Great performances, and lots of familiar faces. So cool. There’s plenty going on in the next couple of weeks, too. Personally, I wouldn’t miss Daikaiju at El Rocko (Yeah, it’s a Monday show, but Google them or watch some Youtube videos, it’s totally worth dragging ass on Tuesday.), Cindy Lee at Lodge of Sorrows is interesting, and that old school rap show at Enmarket Arena looks nuts, but all of these shows are almost cer ..read more

“Remember, the best way to support live music is to actually go see live music.”– Larry Jack Sammons There’s so much going on over the next several weeks, it’s kinda nuts. Tons of worthy shows, but the one that matters most round these parts is Larry Jack’s List on Saturday October 28. Other than that, there’s some big touring acts (Stevie Nicks!), legends (Jonathan Richman!), Halloween cover bands (often fun!), Finkfest (Electric Frankenstein!), 2 nights of Widespread Panic (drugs!), album releases (Neckromance!) and, as always, more local talent than you can shake a stick at. See you out the ..read more

“Remember, the best way to support live music is to actually go see live music.”– Larry Jack Sammons Okay, guys, it’s been a heck of a couple weeks. I’ve driven all over creation and seen shows in Jacksonville, Charleston, Savannah (obvs!), attended weddings, a celebration of life, and…well, you get it. Hopefully my not posting didn’t make anyone miss the best concert of their life. Anyway, during literally thousands of miles of driving, I’ve had some time to think about some things. I had initially decided to change the name of the column to something different that still paid respect to Larr ..read more

“Remember, the best way to support live music is to actually go see live music.” – Larry Jack Sammons [photo by tom cartmel] There is a massive hole in the Savannah music community, one that will never properly be filled. Long-time contributor and our great friend Larry Jack passed away on Sept. 10.  On Oct. 1, per his wishes, the community gathered at Starland Yard to celebrate his life. It was evident from the gathering how many lives he touched with his infectious personality. His family and closest friends eulogized him with warmth between sets of live music. The perfect ceremony for ..read more

Hey, guys. In an attempt to honor Larry Jack, I am going to try to carry on his music schedule posts. I can’t think of a better way to remember Larry than to go to a show and enjoy the music and the amazing music scene that we have in Savannah. I felt his spirit in the room at a couple shows I attended last week … people having the time of their lives, smiles, hugs, weirdness, mosh pits, friends, discovering new bands … Larry lived for this stuff. There is a ton going on in the next week. See you out there. Help me fill this giant hole in my heart. Tom Friday 9/22 Damned To Earth, Wyndrider, D ..read more
