Most of you student types are breathing a collective sigh of relief this week as you say goodbye to another year of academia-related stress. Phew! What better way to celebrate the coming months of freedom than with a free concert?! There are three shows coming up this week that we’d like to preview for you (Black Moth Super Rainbow with School of Seven Bells, Arizona, and The Parlor Mob), and we’re giving away a pair of tix to all of ‘em!
Mifflin is over, but that doesn’t mean procrastination is dead! Just because exams are coming up, doesn’t mean you need to be confined to your room or library with a ‘no fun rule’ in place. Trust us, we know where you can find FREE fun! No, unfortunately not a pinata party (but if you know of one, please call me!). I’m talking about FREE musical fun for you and a friend. Just answer the questions inside!
Don’t miss your chance to WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS to experience Del the Funky Homosapien, John Brown’s Body, and Lightning Dust!
Words are great. Especially when coupled with sounds, as you all know, to make music. April is national poetry month and as its end draws near, we here at TE would like to give you an opportunity to use your words. Read more to find out how you can collect a pair of tickets by having fun!
Scroll down for chances to WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS and express your inner poet with Peanut Butter Wolf and others, Robbie Fulks, Pert’ Near Sandstone, and Dan Deacon! Any ticket contest answers in a 5-7-5 haiku format will receive extra points.
This week is total musical madness from bluegrass to garage rock, we’ve got at least one show per day for a week of debaucherous listening pleasure. Not only that but we’re giving away lots of free tix plus a free MP3 download to our amazing music fans!

“It is their unique ‘fusion of tradition and enthusiasm for improvisation’ that has come to define the band’s creative and tangible compositional style.”
- Scott Preston, Cincy Groove Magazine
Win Tix!: Greensky Bluegrass is an obvious play on words that turns your world upside down. If you can send in three original or favorite similarly thought-provoking phrases, you may just find yourself in a field of some of Michigan’s own.

TALLEST MAN ON EARTH
Psst! That’s not his real name…and he’s not even all that tall, but “Tallest Man On Earth” sure looks great on a concert poster! Musicians love to get creative with their stage names, and there are a TON of great ones out there. How many can you think of? Post your list in the comments and we’ll pick one lucky contestant to be added to the guest list for the show!
“Matsson’s melodies are remarkably pliant, and while it’s understandable to be skeptical of another skinny dude with a mustache, a guitar, and a worn-out copy of The Anthology of American Folk Music, the more time you invest in Shallow Grave, the more you’ll realize how unusually memorable it is. Ultimately, Shallow Grave transcends comparison– which is saying an awful lot, given the popularity of its prototype– and Matsson is a natural-born folksinger, earnest, clever, and comforting.“
-Pitchfork.com
There’s a line in Good Old War’s ‘We’ve Come A Long Way” that goes “I thought I’d learn to behave, but I don’t feel I’m acting my age.” Is that supposed to be a bad thing?! For those of you who refuse to grow up, let us know how you manage to stay young at heart. Your response might just land you and a friend a spot on the guest list for the show!
“an unabashed ode to the delicate sounds and intricate harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Simon & Garfunkel.“
