Magnet Live in Los Angeles
usounds January 20th, 2005
Magnet is the nom-de-guitar of Even Johansen, of Norway. Described as a Troubadour in his bio, which also includes the information that his name Magnet comes from a teenage visit to a half-Chinese, half-Indian medicine man, who gave him a tattoo of a magnet, colored with “special” ink. After passing out, young Even woke up completely cured. In any case, I was pretty sure Magnet the Troubadour would do well inside the cozy confines of LA’s famed Troubadour club, as the warm up act for Phoenix.

Detroit Cobras Live in Cleveland Reviewed by Julie Finley
usounds November 21st, 2003
This would be the 1st time I had set foot in the urban landscape known to us all as Cleveland, OH… so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
