I can’t think of a better way to start the week than to see a Japanese Breakfast concert at The Pageant. Rather than begin another dreadful Monday the same ‘ol boring way, I had this show to look forward… making me wonder why I don’t go to more concerts on weekdays! Opening for Japanese Breakfast […]
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 […]
Cocoa Beach-based Karalyn & The Dawn Patrol is championing the scene as a female-forward band. With their bold sound and unapologetic presence, the group is breaking barriers, not only inspiring but reshaping the music industry — one performance at a time. Karalyn joins us once again for part two of our interview from 2022, this […]
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. […]
Primavera Sound is starting the party early. The 24th edition of Barcelona’s flagship festival has unveiled a dazzling 150-artist bill for 2026, led by The Cure, Doja Cat, The xx (returning after nearly a decade), Gorillaz (with Damon Albarn steering new album, The Mountain), Massive Attack (performing their first-ever Primavera Sound appearance), pop lightning bolt […]
To the average person/casual music listener/”normie”, the name Justin Hawkins may mean absolutely nothing. But to the throngs of rabid rock ‘n roll fans that packed Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl this past Saturday night, Hawkins is treated with a reverence comparable only to that held by Millennial “Swifties”. Perhaps we should begin referring to Darkness idolaters […]
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 […]
One of my last concerts for the month of August felt exactly how those dwindling last few weeks of summer feel: reflective, moody, and nostalgic, with a little chill in the air. That’s how it felt seeing Goo Goo Dolls headline with Dashboard Confessional on the 21st. Both bands had a significant impact on the […]
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 […]
A festival set in Saint Charles, Iowa is probably not at the top of many people’s festival bucket lists, but after experiencing Hinterland Music Festival a few weeks ago, I’m here to tell you — it should be.This three-day event was the perfect summer escape from reality. From August 1st through 3rd, the small town […]
Creed made a triumphant return to the bay on Saturday, August 9th, when they rolled through Mountain View, California’s Shoreline Amphitheater for the Summer of ’99 Tour with special guests Sevendust and Mammoth. Creed is one of those rock bands that, in my opinion, needs no introduction. Whether it’s at a sports game, a restaurant, […]
