Willie Nelson Style
The A-List will be on the road again this week. Spending most of the week within shouting distance of a town known for slot machines (but not known for hosting Elvis), isn’t the best place for live music (or at least any I want to hear). Likewise, I don’t expect to [...]
It’s Your Civic Duty
This week we will feature two standing gigs by local favorites of the A-List, but before we get there let’s take a minute to consider the idea of the standing gig. It’s not that different than the A-List. You’ve come to expect it every week, right? But are you really hooked? It [...]

Contraction Distraction
For the second time in two weeks the A-List will cover a band with the center syllable contraction. What?! Last week it was Noot d’ Noot, this week it’s Tapes ‘N Tapes and their show tomorrow night at The Earl. But before I get there please allow me to ponder [...]
