Katie Von Schleicher Gets Down in Nashville: Brooklyn-based songwriter and musician Katie Von Schleicher told us about her Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings experience.Katie Von Schleicher: I’m not the finest concert goer. I’ve fallen asleep for the duration of a Grouper show I was psyched to see, spaced out watching Ahmad Jamal, talked over Big Thief in a room that holds 30 people.Still, I’ve seen a lot of good ones, and enjoyed the ones I slept during. For my “favorite” I’ll choose a formative experience, seeing Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings in Nashville in 2007 or so.I was majoring in songwriting at college and they shipped us down on a bus to sit in the Warner Bros offices daily and get lectured by some mainstays like Rodney Crowell and the woman who wrote “This Kiss” for Faith Hill.One evening they closed down a small dive and let this small group of us, songwriting idiots, experience a duo Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings set. I cried like a baby, doing that thing w...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:59:48 GMT

SAN JOSE – Four games into the season and almost all the major concerns regarding the San Jose Sharks are being borne out.Playing the NHL’s most difficult schedule to date, the Sharks, without Logan Couture and Mikael Granlund, are not only having all kinds of trouble scoring but have also developed a penchant for giving up deflating goals at the most inopportune times.And without Erik Karlsson, the Sharks’ present defense corps has combined for one assist.Add it all up and the Sharks, who begin a five-game road trip on Saturday in Nashville, are the NHL’s last remaining winless team with a 0-3-1 record.“Listen, we all knew the challenge we had on this homestand, right? Let’s be honest,” Sharks coach David Quinn said Thursday after his team’s 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. “We feel like we’re not that far off.”The combined record of the Sharks’ first four opponents, Vegas, Colorado, Carolina, and Boston, before Friday’s games, was a remarkable 15-2-0.
