The Join will perform at the Bluebird in Bloomington tomorrow, March 4. The band is actually a combination of members from two different bands, The New Deal and the Disco Biscuits. It was founded by the drummer and keyboard player of The New Deal — the other members rotate in and out depending on tour scheduling and geographical factors. The music is electronica-based and highly improvisational.... 

Cornmeal will perform at the Bluebird in Bloomington on Thursday, February 18. The band has a very unique style. While most of their songs are bluegrass-based, they often include elements of country, R&B, jazz, and even funk and disco. They blend their Americana and folk roots with modern jam-band influences to create a sound all their own. Cornmeal is a staple in the Chicago music scene,... 

Country star Luke Bryan will perform at the Bluebird in Bloomington this Friday, February 12. Bryan, who released his second album last fall, is a rising star in the country music world. His most recent single, “Do I,” peaked at number two on the country charts, and once he’s finished with his solo tour, he’ll be joining Jason Aldean on the Wide Open 2010 tour. As his popularity... 

Electronica band The New Deal will perform at the Bluebird in Bloomington on January 28. The three-piece band has a drummer, guitarist, and keyboard player, and they all work together to compose a modern electronica sound. After frequent touring in the late 1990s and early 2000s, they’ve slowed down a bit in the last few years, so if you’re hoping to catch them live, you’d better be at the Bluebird... 

Popular rock/jam band Tea Leaf Green will perform at the Bluebird in Bloomington on January 26. The San Francisco-based band is similar in style to My Morning Jacket, Wolfmother, and the Raconteurs, while drawing upon influences such as Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and The Grateful Dead. They have successfully integrated a classic rock sound with modern-day polish, and they’re winning over fans everywhere...

Z99.5’s Jingle Jam 2009 will be at the Murat Theatre on December 9. When I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago, the show already had a great lineup with All-American Rejects, Barenaked Ladies, and Five for Fighting. At the time, WZPL was promising one more band — and they got two. The bands Vedera and The Elms have both been added to the lineup, which will make an already great night...

These three bands have all been major players in the pop-rock...
