NEW BLOG: Colin and Mike Denehy (creator Pedaler's Jamboree and owner at Off Track Events) reminisce on the nearly decades-old gig in which they booked guitar god Marcus King when he was an up and coming teenage prodigy. We also take a few moments to ruminate on the incendiary performance by King at The Blue Note recently.

I first became aware of Marcus King in 2015. It was at this time that producing events took up a larger chunk of my professional time. Mike Denehy (creator of the Pedaler’s Jamboree and owner of Off Track Events) and I had signed on to work with another company to help them create a cross-state bi...

No new episode this week, but we have a lot of content coming your way with some new blog posts this week. First up, we have Colin's coverage of The Smile in KC last month. Featuring Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead, The Smile made a strong statement as they rolled through the Midwest. Read on about how their performance made clear that this act is so much more than a "side project."

The members of Radiohead all have a long line of side projects that are scattered across the history of the decades’ old act. From Atoms for Peace to Thom Yorke’s solo career you almost expect a new one to pop up every couple of years, play a smattering of shows, and then disappear again as soon...
