World Cafe Live

Although we at PHILTHY MAG are big fans of family acts (HAIM, The Staves, The Paper Kites, The Hunts, The Last Bison, etc.), it’s been a while since we’ve come across a new one for whom we really fell hard… However, later this month, twins Daniel and David, and...

Unfortunately, Nina Nesbitt’s last US headlining tour was cut one night short.  The Scottish singer/songstress was all set to close out the run with a headlining show at our very own World Café Live on April 30th, which ultimately never happened… Well, tonight Nina Nesbitt is returning to the...

There aren’t many better ways to spend February 15th than with a great, pro-tequila, Americana singer/songwriter… And, luckily for us in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, this Friday Nashville-based songstress Elise Davis will be headlining upstairs at World Café Live.

As you all know, a lot of the ‘90s biggest and best bastions of alt rock have been reuniting in recent years… like bordering on a joke… But to those of us born in the ‘80s, simply wishing we could attend Lollapalooza back in the day, while we were actually...

Caroline Rose has been a dear friend of ours (and mine, personally) for quite a few years now… However, for the majority of our friendship, she was known for Americana balladry and roots rocking, which normally placed her at World Café Live.  However, about a year ago I got...
