MAHA Music Festival announces its 2011 date!

This year's edition of MAHA Music Festival will take place at Lewis & Clark Landing on Saturday, August 13, 2011. This indie fest has brought fantastic music to Omaha including acts like Spoon, The Faint, Superchunk, and Dashboard Confessional.

In its third year, I expect the lineup to be better than ever. The MAHA Crew and Marc Liebowitz from One Percent Productions are sure to come up with a great lineup. I'm hoping to see a lineup featuring Mumford & Sons and a headliner such as The National, Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, Phoenix, or The Black Keys.

Hopefully we'll see some artist announcements soon.

My songs of the week:

"Boy" by Ra Ra Riot - Really great song. This should be a big year for them.

"Machine Gun Blues" by Social Distortion- Social D's new album is coming out later this month, definitely gonna check it out.

1/2/11

Definitely been listening to lots of great music over winter break. As it comes to an end, here are some of my favorites:

Cage The Elephant- Great band, great energy. Had the opportunity to see them this summer, and they didn't disappoint. They are dropping a new album in January. Couple singles off the album are available, one of which is free. With a new album comes a tour, I expect them in the area soon.

The Black Keys- Big year for a awesome band. They were nominated for a few grammies and voted the 2010 XM Alt-Nation Band of The Year. Their old material is excellent as well.

Kanye West- Most people know that im not a huge rap fan, but Kanye's latest album knocked my socks off. He's on my must see list this year, based on his latest material, it'll be one heck of a show.

My Album of the Week is Kings of Leon's "Come Around Sundown."

Check back in this week for more reviews, concert news, and more.
