In a year when national tension has seeped into nearly every corner of American life, the arts have felt an especially heavy strain. Even the Kennedy Center in Washington DC — long considered a pillar of arts and culture in the U.S. — has faced a noticeable dip in attendance and revenue, a rare drought […]
Lord Huron’s stop at St. Louis’ Chaifetz Arena was a show that felt less like a standard concert and more like a play on Broadway. The band has always leaned into theatrics, but this performance pushed their storytelling instincts even further, using blocking and props onstage to create a true narrative to go with the […]
I remember the first time I had ever heard a Sir Chloe song… It was 2020 and, like most people during the pandemic, I was cooped up inside scrolling through TikTok videos late into the night. I paused when I heard Dana Foote’s voice, aka Sir Chloe — a stage name adopted in 2017. It […]
Three, two, one — BLAST OFF. All aboard the Spaceface craft, next stop, Lunar Manor. For fans of nouveaux psychedelia, melt-your-mind melodies, and existential-yet-audible metamorphosis, Spaceface is your kinda of vibe. Founded in 2012 by Jake Ingalls (formerly of Flaming Lips) and Eric Martin, the neo-psychedelic LA-based band returns with another sonic journey (as much […]
Motherfolk is a band that holds a weird place in my heart. Prior to 2022, I had never heard of them. A magazine I was shooting for at the time asked me if I’d be willing to shoot their show at The Duck Room in St. Louis and take some portraits for an interview they […]
Samia brought her Bloodless US and Canada tour, promoting her third album of the same name, to a close in a city she previously called home –Nashville, Tennessee. Brooklyn-based musician Renny Conti was the supporting act on the latter half of this leg of tour. During Conti’s opening set, fans noticed Samia taking a peek […]
I would like to begin this article by calling out one of my friends in the music community. Many years ago, I had tickets to go see The Growlers in Philadelphia, but I got pretty sick and was unable to attend. I won’t name any names, but I passed my tickets off and the consensus […]
A few months ago, a song called “Did I Say Too Much” slipped onto my Spotify playlist. It was one of those songs that refuses to let go. Within 24 hours, I’d spun it a thousand times — no exaggeration. The band behind it? Toronto’s own The Beaches. I typically don’t get so hooked on […]
As a music fan, I have sometimes waited years to see certain bands in my city. I have known music fans who’ve waited almost a lifetime to see their favorite bands. I have even traveled to different countries to see bands on my must-see list and I’ve always had an amazing experience doing so. I […]
Tuesday night in Nashville can be one of two things: mundane and routine or out-of-this-world and chaotic. On the one hand, you have the predictable crowds of tourists infesting Broadway like roaches under a refrigerator and, on the other, you have an event randomly pop up that blows the minds of true music fans in […]
If you’re looking for something romantic for date night, here’s my suggestion — buy tickets to a Lucy Dacus show. Trust me on this one. If you enjoy listening to the indie band boygenius, then you most likely know that Lucy Dacus is the third member of the trio, alongside Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker. […]
On a Sunday night, Trampled by Turtles and Shakey Graves came to The Sound in Del Mar for a perfect end to a beautiful Southern California weekend. It was the second night of two consecutive evenings at the venue; the two acts bringing an incredible lineup of folk-influenced stomping and hollering to both. This was […]
Festival junkies — the lineup has landed! Goldenvoice continues its legacy at the top of the weekend fest curator list with another mega reveal for Coachella 2026. Usually announced in January, long-time Chellaheads are being treated to early answers this year — and, needless to say, all minds are absolutely blown. Although a couple elements […]
Sunday morning brought the promise of a great final day of Iowa’s most underrated weekend gathering, Hinterland. The same easiness was in the air from the two days prior and it was shaping up to be another perfect-weather day. The lineup was to be an vivacious one, with a bit of a country detour before […]
Come Saturday afternoon, spirits continued to be up for Day Two of Hinterland 2025 with another beautiful day in the countryside of Iowa. Beautiful weather is a notable (albeit, uncontrollable) change from last year’s Hinterland, to say the least. The temperature got up there a few times, but nothing compared to what I’ve heard about […]
