On Sunday, July 27th, American rock band Dispatch brought their summer tour to San Francisco’s The Masonic. Tour support for the evening included Donavon Frankenreiter and G. Love opening the night followed by Aussie roots rock legend John Butler. The combination of Donovan Frankenreiter and G. Love (sans Special Sauce) made for a special pairing, […]
You wouldn’t think that a Tuesday night would end up a full-on party. But it’s summertime in San Diego, with the Padres playing (and winning) next door to The Rady Shell, where Beck was joining the San Diego Symphony on the waterfront for a one-of-a-kind performance of euphonic deep cuts he rarely (or never) performs […]
Iration might’ve headlined the night, but the whole lineup was a vibe from start to finish. Not a single dud in the mix, with each act bringing their own flavor — it was one smooth wave of energy! And being at Gallagher Square in Petco Park didn’t make it your average Sunday Funday reggae sesh; […]
Sometimes, a show hits in a way that reminds you exactly why the music has stuck with you over time — how certain albums become part of who you are. Incubus‘s performance in San Diego on July 19th, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their mega hit album Morning View, was one of those shows. I’ve […]
Friday night in Nashville marked another first for me this year: it was my first time shooting at the latest and greatest venue in town — The Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is a 2,500-person venue that was recently constructed in the heart of downtown Nashville. While the concert house has already hosted many big shows this […]
90 miles west of Chicago, a musician at the pinnacle of his craft ascended upon the resilient town of Rockford, IL. It was the introspective rock talents of Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, with a block party right outside of the historic Coronado Theatre marking the event. Located right on Main Street, friends, fans, […]
On Friday July 18th, Incubus performed at The Venue at Thunder Valley in Lincoln, CA — one of those places where every seat in the house is a great seat! With a start time shift from 7:30 to 7pm, it was kind of a bummer for opener Paris Jackson who had to perform to an […]
The Constellation Room at The Observatory in Santa Ana has always been one of those venues where the walls seem to sweat punk rock history. On Friday night, July 11th, that intimate space became a pressure cooker of raw energy as three acts proved that punk’s spirit is alive and kicking — possibly harder than […]
On the night before his most personal album to date dropped, Tech N9ne took over the Clive Davis Theater inside the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles for an intimate night that was part deep dive, part live show, and every bit unforgettable. The June 26th event was hosted by hip hop journalist Justin Hunte, who […]
The week was off to a great start for The Pageant on Monday night, with a packed venue for Jack’s Mannequin — the show having entirely sold-out. There was a buzzing of excitement as people gathered outside to get in line and make their way to the front of the stage. The evening’s opener was […]
There is a noticeable lack of male pop stars in today’s music industry that are capable of putting on a flashy, yet fabulous performance. Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, is an artist able to do just that. The After Hours Til Dawn Tour made its way to the Bay Area for two sold-out […]
Pierce The Veil brought their much anticipated Can You Hear Me World Tour to the Kia Forum for three nights of sold-out mayhem. Night One went off without a hitch, with fans lining the block and packing the venue early for beloved openers Beach Weather and all time fan-favorites Sleeping with Sirens. The legendary venue […]
There’s something magical about catching a show at The Greek Theatre on a perfect June night in Los Angeles. The open-air venue, nestled in the Hollywood Hills, becomes the ideal backdrop for bands that know how to connect with their audience. On June 22nd, Barenaked Ladies reminded everyone why they’ve been beloved for over three […]
I’ve been a fan of Tash Sultana’s music for years and regretted missing their last nationwide tour! For that reason, attending their live show this year at The Rady Shell in San Diego was a truly special experience. Tash Sultana is not just a musician; they are a vibrant ecosystem of sound all on their […]
My first show back at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater was one for the books. Storm clouds loomed over the venue as I approached, darkening the sky while I searched for the staff parking lot and made my way to the box office. As I walked, I said a prayer to whichever god controls the weather that […]
