After two rainy music-filled days at Hinterland 2026, Saturday gave us the sunshine we had all been waiting for. Another solid lineup of artists were waiting for us beneath the big blue Iowa skies as the festival field filled with colorful blankets and small folding chairs. Day Three of the Hinterland went in a little […]
It was a beautiful day on Wednesday, August 26th, when Courtney Barnett kicked off one of three nights at a true San Francisco historic gem — The Fillmore. The Sydney-born, Hobart-raised, and Melbourne-based Aussie singer-songwriter was in town promoting her forthcoming album, Creature of Habit, with proof of the album’s acclaim being THREE SOLD-OUT NIGHTS […]
On the morning of Friday August 21st, 2026, the landmark Oceanside Pier stood tall against the rising sun and incoming waves. Adorned in sponsor signage, the pier — which has stood its ground since 1888, despite being destroyed and rebuilt five times — was prepared to celebrate a festival built around resilience and female empowerment. […]
Friday, August 21st, chart-topping breakout country star Tucker Wetmore was all smiles as he brought his Brunette World Tour to beautiful Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California. Nestled high up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Mountain Winery offers picturesque views without a single bad seat in the house. If you got to the show early, Adele’s […]
This past Wednesday, I experienced a miracle. I was looking down at my phone, browsing Instagram while waiting for a meeting to start, and I saw something I could hardly believe — Johnny Blue Skies (aka, Sturgill Simpson) was playing at the Cobra Nashville?! I clicked on their website to see if this was a […]
It’s time for Day Two of Hinterland! I think Friday might have been one of my favorite lineup days; it was an incredibly strong selection of female artists from the beginning to the very end of the day. When I think back to this day, the first thought that comes to mind is, “This one […]
The night of August 7th kicked off Night One of a three-day reggae concert series at Costa Mesa’s Pacific Amphitheatre, with Rebelution, Skip Marley, and Niko Rubio taking centerstage. Niko Rubio opened the night with her sultry trip hop-meets-reggae vibe. Niko Rubio was a nice way to start the evening, with a younger, more pop-influenced […]
Over 7,000 San Diego country music fans showed out on Thursday, August 20th, selling out Gallagher Square at Petco Park wearing their boots, cowboy hats, and finest country couture to support rising star Tucker Wetmore.

It was absolutely perfect weather the night of Saturday, August 15th at Long Beach’s new F&M Bank Amphitheater, as opening acts Lanie Gardner, Lauren Watkins, Randall King, and DJ Rock joined headliner Luke Bryan for his Word on the Street Tour promoting his upcoming ninth studio album, Signs — scheduled to be released this year […]
Two weeks ago, I found myself in Iowa. I know I’ve driven through Iowa a number of times, but never anticipated ever spending more than a brief moment there. Not that there is anything wrong with Iowa; I’ve just been a Midwestern girl for my whole life and coming from my own experience… we’re kinda […]
Sometimes concert photography starts with a photo pass waiting at the box office and everything going exactly according to plan. Other times you stand around outside the venue, wondering if anyone knows who you are or why you’re there. July 29th was leaning pretty heavily toward the second option. With my credentials temporarily stuck somewhere […]
Cypress Hill brought their classic west coast sound to the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa for a night of old-school hip hop and Chicano energy. Opening the show was Ozomatli, another band heavily influenced by Cypress Hill. Having both groups on the same bill made sense, because they both have strong roots in the Los […]
On Friday, August 7th, the SAP Center — home to the San Jose Sharks — played host to rising pop superstar Benson Boone for a mystical, magical night. Benson Boone’s Wanted Man World Tour promised magic and backflips… and did not disappoint. The opening act of the show was American singer-songwriter Ashe, who, upon a […]
More than two decades after Fallen turned Evanescence into one of the defining rock bands of the early 2000s, Amy Lee can still walk onto an arena stage and make the whole thing feel intimate. The band’s recent St. Louis show was big, loud, and impressively produced. First up was Nova Twins, entertaining early fans […]
