Khruangbin, a musical trio from Houston, Texas, put St. Louis into a trance when they took the stage at The Factory, supported by Pakistani-American artist Arooj Aftab and her band. Both acts delivered slow-building sets, with songs that started off low-key, minimal on lyrics, and gradually lulled the audience into a meditative state as they […]

A lot of people question my rationale when I say that Lindsey Stirling has, quite possibly, the greatest live performance in existence. They argue, “What about Paul McCartney?
