Win Tickets For Jessica Lea Mayfield's April Gig At Bowery Ballroom

Jessica Lea Mayfield was a singer-to-watch when she released her Dan Auerbach-produced debut Blasphemy, So Heartfelt in 2008, but she's arrived as a serious force of nature thanks to her much-praised sophomore album Tell Me which dropped earlier this month. Catch this fast rising, 21-year-old singer with a country rock bent when she plays Bowery Ballroom on April 1.  Opening is Daniel Martin Moore.

Breaking Bands: Which New Faces Will Cause A Commotion In 2011?

As we boot 2010 out the door and get ready to begin not only a brand new year, but a freshly minted decade, what up-and-coming bands and artists will make their mark on 2011? The Alternate Side staff gazed into the future and picked the musicians who we thought (well, hoped) might make an impact in the next twelve months and beyond; our many choices range from Denver's husband-and-wife duo of Tennis to the brash British pop of The Vaccines to Long Island's ever-cool quintet, Twin Sister.
