News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
You can start marking your calendar now for 2009 rock shows out at Raleigh's big outdoor venue -- Dave Matthews Band is already on the schedule for April 22, according to the band's spring tour schedule. It's the second '09 Walnut Creek show to pop up, after George Strait on May 16.
Also of note is the opening act for Matthews, Cackalacka's own Avett Brothers.
