Sonar Baltimore closes the doors, Some Shows move to Bourbon Street

Yesterday Sonar Baltimore announced that due to issues beyond their control they would be shutting down the club, effective immeadiatly. Last night's show with Talib Kweli and Saleem and The Musiclovers was moved to Bourbon Street. As of right now The New Deal will also be moved to Bourbon Street. The New Deal scheduled for a stop as Sonar tomorrow May 6th, will now be performing at Bourbon Street. There are a bunch of shows that were scheduled at Sonar that now stand on uncertain ground, including this Saturday's show with Jukebox The Ghost. We are not sure what the fate of some of these upcoming shows scheduled for Sonar will be but we will do our best to keep updates as shows try to find new venues.

The New Deal is on their farewell tour, and have announced that they will be finished at the conclusion of 2011. Here is a video to get you pumped for tomorrows show at Bourbon Street!!

Between the Grooves: Consume Iron and Wine

Tune in Thursday at 2pm for a mini orchestra session with Iron and Wine. You'll hear a clarinet, bass harmonica, mandolin, the blended voices Rosie Thomas AND Oscar-winner Marketa Irglova of the Swell Season and the movie Once, and of course, the whispered, yet increasingly commanding vocals of mastermind Sam Beam.

The sonic panoramas on Kiss Each Other Clean, colored by jazz, 70's rock and other unorthodox styles, enliven the mystery of Beam's scripture shorthand. Repeated listens reveal the rewards. 

And what a treat it will be to hear these lushly layered new songs come alive in a new setting.  Iron and Wine on Between the Grooves Thursday at 2pm on WTMD.
