  Just received an advance of KBCO's Studio C 20th Anniversary Edition. The 38-song two-disc set, celebrating two decades of in-studio performances, gathers tracks from a few of the usual suspects (Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow), alongside some rare gems from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Dr. John and Tom Waits, as well as some local contributions from Big Head Todd and the Monsters, DeVotchKa and Richie Furay. As with past releases, proceeds from the disc, which goes on sale for $15 on Saturday,

• Gregory Alan Isakov collaborates and tours with Brandi Carlile

  Photo: Todd RoethIf you don't already have plans tonight for Valentine's eve -- like, say, seeing DeVotchKa at the Paramount -- it would be well worth your time to stop by the Bluebird to catch Gregory Alan Isakov & the Freight, with Oakhurst. By now, you're probably intimately familiar with the guy we named best singer-songwriter in 2007. If by some chance you're not, though, tonight would make a fitting introduction -- not to mention that this may be your last chance to see him for a few

• Sneak peek: Gregory Alan Isakov's new album

  As previously reported, Gregory Alan Isakov has completed work on his new album, This Empty Northern Hemisphere, and is about to embark on a tour with Brandi Carlile, with whom Isakov collaborated on a number of tracks. Although it won't be out until Tuesday, May 19, we've managed to get our hands on a track from the record, which we've posted for your streaming pleasure after the jump. If the song in question, "Evelyn," is any indication of what's to come, this one is definitely worth waiting f

• Brandi Carlile drops in on Gregory Alan Isakov at the Meadowlark

  Todd RoethGot there late and didn't stay for the whole thing -- mostly because I'd already had a full night taking in bits of Reverend Deadeye's set at 3 Kings and SoundRabbit at the hi-dive, not to mention a few too many cocktails -- but I was pleasantly surprised to catch Brandi Carlile sitting in with Gregory Alan Isakov at the Meadowlark. I'd tell you that he was on, but then, he's always on, so that wouldn't exactly be breaking news. But yeah, Carlile, a frequent collaborator with Isakov wh

  Eric Gruneisen​Okay, so is it just us or has anyone else noticed that Gregory Alan Isakov seems to have a way with the ladies?

• The Fray files suit against former manager

  ​From Bill Joel to Trent Reznor, it's a well-worn story line: a seemingly shrewd business manager attempts to hoodwink young musicians under his charge, taking advantage of their inexperience and naivety for his gain, and getting away with it before they really know any better or realize what's happening to them. Such appears to be the case with the Fray, whose principles filed suit against their former manager, Gregg Latterman, in U.S. District Court yesterday. In the suit, filed by Isaac Sla
