If you’re a fan of The Postal Service’s iconic hit “Such Great Heights,” you’ve probably heard countless covers of the song over the years. But have you ever heard a cover of a song that completely transforms it into something new and exciting? That’s exactly the case with Joy Kills Sorrow’s bluegrass version of this hit. This rendition, which was released on their EP Wide Awake in 2013, deserves your attention if you haven’t heard it yet.
What is particularly impressive about this cover is how effortlessly the band took an electronic indie-pop hit and made it their own, infusing it with their signature Americana sound that is a refreshing departure from the original. Fueled by Jacob Jolliff’s intricate mandolin playing and lead singer Emma Beaton’s soaring vocals, the song was transformed into a foot-stomping bluegrass number that’s impossible not to dance along to.
Right from the beginning, the mandolin and banjo (played by Wes Corbett) take over, providing a lively and instantly engaging introduction. While staying true to the melody and lyrics, the band injects their signature style, adding instrumental breakdowns and harmonies that showcase their musical prowess. Beaton’s vocals add a touch of sweetness and vulnerability to the already poignant lyrics. As the song progresses, each instrument takes its turn to shine, from the rhythm of Matthew Arcara flatpicking the guitar, to the harmonies of Zoe Guigueno and her upright bass. You can feel the energy building up, culminating in a triumphant ending that will leave you with chills. The result is a cover that’s just as catchy and memorable as the original, but with a new energy and vibrancy that’s impossible to resist.
What makes this cover so successful is that it doesn’t try to imitate the original, but rather reinvents it completely. It manages to capture the essence and emotion of the song while putting a new spin on it. Overall, Joy Kills Sorrow’s bluegrass cover of “Such Great Heights” is a testament to the power of musical creativity and innovation. It proves that good music can transcend genres and styles, and that sometimes the most unexpected artist can surprise you. So, if you haven’t given it a listen yet, it’s high time that changes.
Even die-hard The Postal Service fans will find themselves tapping their feet along to this bluegrass rendition. If you haven’t heard Joy Kills Sorrow’s cover of “Such Great Heights” yet, do yourself a favor and give it a listen. Although Joy Kills Sorrow disbanded after performing their last show in 2014, their legacy includes a stunning example of how a great cover can take a beloved song and elevate it to new heights.
Ben Gibbard Returns with a “Double Feature” Performance
Speaking of The Postal Service… lead vocalist Ben Gibbard is making a comeback to Arizona and other cities (listed below) with a “double feature” show that is sure to delight. As part of the “Give Up & Transatlanticism 20th Anniversary Tour,” The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie will be co-headlining, and Gibbard will be at the forefront of it all.
The tour runs in September and October of this year. Arizona Financial Theatre, one of the iconic spots to host this show, is set to witness an unforgettable night of music that showcases the evolution of the creative genius of Gibbard and his bandmates. (Fun fact: Jenny Lewis of The Postal Service is also a solo artist, actress, and was the lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and keyboardist for the indie rock band Rilo Kiley.) It goes without saying that Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service carry energies that leave fans yearning for more. But, to have both bands share the stage on a joint tour is something else entirely.
Back in 2003, The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie became musical sensations that rocked the world with Gibbard at the helm. The Postal Service’s debut album, Give Up, and Death Cab for Cutie’s fourth studio album, Transatlanticism, showcased the range of Gibbard’s vocal and songwriting abilities. It’s been twenty years since those albums’ releases, and that is all the more reason to celebrate. The “Give Up & Transatlanticism 20th Anniversary Tour” is, therefore, more than just a tour. As each band performs their respective albums in their entirety, it’s a trip down memory lane accompanied by heart-thumping instrumentals and performances that leave concertgoers reveling in nostalgia.
With Gibbard headlining, The Postal Service & Death Cab For Cutie: Give Up & Transatlanticism promises to be a night to remember. Get your tickets now!

With their groundbreaking Rhapsody Tour, Queen + Adam Lambert have taken the world by storm with their electrifying performances and awe-inspiring productions. After a 4-year hiatus, fans will be thrilled to know that the legendary band and the sensational vocalist are returning to North America, with tickets going on sale starting Friday, March 31 at 10 a.m. local on LiveNation.com. Tour dates are listed below.
There are few bands that can match the sheer talent and presence of Queen, and even fewer performers who can step into the shoes of the legendary Freddie Mercury. Yet, with Adam Lambert taking the stage alongside original members Brian May and Roger Taylor, it’s safe to say that the Queen legacy is in good hands. The Queen + Adam Lambert tour has been wowing audiences around the world with its state-of-the-art stage design, incredible special effects, and, of course, the timeless music of one of the greatest songbooks in rock history. Fans are treated to a full-blooded celebration of everything that made Queen an enduring icon of the music world.
The Rhapsody Tour promises to be a treat for fans as they get to witness an expanded and updated version of the production that won hearts across the country in 2019. The 150-minute career-spanning set list will bring back fond memories of the band’s classic hits. But this tour is more than just a tribute to the past. It’s also a showcase of the undimmed musical prowess of Brian and Roger, and the electrifying stage charisma and vocal skills of Adam Lambert. Together, they bring a new energy to these classic songs, breathing new life into them without ever losing sight of what made them special in the first place.
“I can’t wait to tour North America one more time with the Rhapsody tour alongside the two unbelievably talented legends that are Brian May and Roger Taylor,” said Adam Lambert
The band’s commitment to their fans is evident in their efforts to combat ticket scalpers. Queen + Adam Lambert recognize how frustrating it can be for fans to miss out on tickets due to scalpers, who then resell these tickets at inflated prices. In collaboration with the venues’ ticketing partners, they have worked on restricting the ability to transfer tickets, making sure they are only transferred between fans at the original price.
Of course, even the most enthusiastic fans can be hit with unexpected circumstances that make attending a show impossible. That’s why Queen + Adam Lambert have ensured that fans have protection against unforeseen events. With the Ticketmaster Face Value Exchange, buyers and sellers can easily sell tickets at the price they paid, providing a simple and safe way to ensure that everyone gets a fair deal.
Unfortunately, some states (including NY, IL, and CO) have laws in place that protect ticket scalpers, making it harder for artists to restrict ticket transfers to face value exchanges only. In these cases, Queen + Adam Lambert strongly encourage fans to buy and sell tickets on face value exchanges only.
Brian May says, “Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious. Watch out world.”
The Rhapsody Tour is constantly evolving as the band extensively tours the world, and this iteration promises to be a visual feast of the best of Queen’s music. From the stunning stage production and pyrotechnics to the band’s inimitable energy, Queen + Adam Lambert are sure to put on a show audiences will never forget. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a part of this epic spectacle as Queen + Adam Lambert take on North America. With their unforgettable music, incredible performances, and commitment to fairness for fans, it’s clear that Queen’s legacy will continue to endure for many years to come. Get your tickets, and brace yourself for a performance of a lifetime.
