2 day festival for that price is amazing and I think they chose that venue to keep the cost low.

8/24 - Simcoe, ON Canada @ Norfolk County Fairgrounds

Tickets to the Stopovers go on sale at 11 am local time on February 8th. The tickets are $109, and will have no additional service fees or hidden charges.

Weren't they supposed to make up that unfortunate Toronto date?

What happened to that?

oh weird. It was showing no tickets last night. Or perhaps looking in the wrong place entirely. It was pretty late.

Thanks for the heads up. Ticket bought

Does anyone have an extra? I spaced on the on sale date.

Norah Jones - Covers

At the eve of 2013, Norah Jones quietly released a covers album simply called Covers, available exclusively at Target stores, featuring 10 tracks that she had recorded over the past ten years. These songs sit firmly in the corner of her earlier work, with arrangements featuring mostly sparse instrumentation: pianos, acoustic guitars, upright bass, drums, and the occasional accordion or steel guitar flourish. My newfound adult sensibility quite enjoyed listening to these songs while sipping a glass of chianti and cooking dinner–damn, I am turning into my parents, somebody help me! But the real strength on these tracks, as on all of Jones’s work, is her smooth rasp of a singing voice. She nimbly shapes herself to the songs, which makes her the best covers artist this side of Cat Power. And unlike Cat Power, you can still recognize the song she’s paying homage to even as she makes each uniquely her own. The clipped guitar rhythm’s of Wilco’s “Jesus, etc.†remains on her version, lending it just the right amount of urgency and melancholic desperation that just about any Jeff Tweedy song deserves. And then there’s the constant guitar chugging of Johnny Cash’s “Cry, Cry, Cry†and the tinkling jazz piano of Horace Silver’s “Peace.†Of course, not every song works, like Willie Nelson’s “Hands on the Wheel,†which suffers more from M. Ward’s presence than anything else. Like all of Ward’s work, it’s not really bad per se, it’s just kind of boring and inconsequential. Nevertheless, the album flows better than most covers compilations and provided an interesting glimpse into where Jones musical sensibilities come from. - Michael Carlos

I'm surprised her cover of The Kinks "Strangers" isn't on there. I think that's the best cover she does.

There is a little gap in the She and Him tour dates that fit well with Bluesfest as they play Montreal on July 3 and the next show is July 6 in NYC.

They're putting out their third album soon too.

Isn't he Yim Yames anymore when doing solo work?

He has a band playing with him. It's listed as "Jim James and The Giant" so I think it's intentionally separate the other projects he's got.

He's got a solo album out or coming out, I don't know it's already leaked.

The album hasn't really done it for me so far. I'm sure he'll kick out a few MMJ tunes though.

I REAAAAAAAAALLY fucking hope The Stone Roses come this way. Like, a lot.

Same here. Blur and Wu-Tang as well.

The lineup is now up. Pretty funny that The Rolling Stones rumor turned out to be The Stone Roses.

I'm pretty sure their producer David Barbe is still playing bass for them. Patterson said there is no plans to replace Neff. I know their keyboardist Jay Gonzalez plays guitar as well and it looks like he did (at least for a while) on their NYE run.

I'm wondering why Stars aren't on the bill.

I wondered why myself' date=' but maybe it's because they are not on Arts and Crafts anymore? Looks like most on the bill are currently on the label...although I haven't checked so I may be wrong!

Figuring there will be lots of special guests though so who knows who will play with them![/quote']

Oh weird, I thought they were on Arts & Crafts. Hopefully Amy Millan can make it.

I'm wondering why Stars aren't on the bill.

I do really hate having to wait so long though. 6 months of sitting on an awesome ticket sucks

Sometimes life would be easier if everyone knew and adhered to that system.

I can't see anything topping this that weekend. It's an incredible lineup at an incredible venue. What's gonna come along that's better? A Phish show in Connecticut?

pfftt.. 5 mins and the early bird tickets sold out!

For those interested (not you c-towns). I guess their website went all screwy from the amount of people trying to access the site this morning.

They are going to release the early bird tickets at 3:30pm today

Isbell has made a very solid career with his own band. I honestly think what he does with the 400 Unit is better than what he was doing with DBT. Anytime Shonna played a song I would go for a smoke or a washroom break.

Neff was a great player and such a great addition to the band, sad to see him go. But as phorbesie said, as long as there is Patterson and Cooley nothing will derail that rock train!

hahahaa...

Was hoping to find a pair on the floor on CL but no luck. Contemplating whether to buy balcony seats.

if it's anything like the First Aid Kit show I saw there no one even checks the ticket to get on the floor. I think that show was undersold though so that may be why.

I've lost all sexual interest in Shonna since she's ruined two awesome members of that band by fucking them.

It's bullshit what Neff did. Very tasteless. That being said her and Neff have a new band called Eye Candy. Haven't heard much of it but I never cared for her vocals as it is.

oh, and haven't you ever heard of Coachella Festival?!!?
