I’ll be upfront, I had a pretty good idea of what I was walking into Thursday night. I’d seen The Haunt once before — opening for The Hu — and, even in that supporting slot, they made an impression. But there’s a difference between watching a band open a show and watching a band headline, […]
If you know me at all, you know I’m basically a fixture at Nashville venues. Any given week, you’ll find me somewhere like the East Room, The Basement, Exit/In — wherever catching whoever’s playing. It’s just kind of what I do. I’ve seen a lot of bands. Which is exactly why it’s kind of a big […]
Four bands came together in Detroit to make their last day of the Spin The Wheel Tour special. The first artist onstage was Diamante. I slept on this girl for seven years and I regret that; she came onstage strutting around like she owned it. Her voice has so much power behind it, you can […]
More often than not, when a famous musician starts a side project band, it’s often seen as a watered-down version of the group that gained them fame. Usually diehard fans latch onto the project out of some form of loyalty, but it never quite hits as profoundly as the original. In the case of Maynard […]
Anyone who has grown up in a Christian household will recognize the name Third Day. These guys have been around for forever. If I said that the original band got back together and went on tour for their 30th anniversary, would you believe me? I still cannot believe I got to experience it. On top […]
Grand Rapids was loud and lit up when The Silence Follows Tour showed up. The bands that performed that night made sure to embed everything into your soul in such a way you can never forget. The first band onstage was Aviana, a group from Sweden that did not come to play around. Imagine Sleep […]
The Sound in Del Mar is always a fun venue; it’s spacious, accommodating, a little bougey with the food offerings including bao buns and street tacos. But I’ve never seen The Sound so packed as I did this past Saturday night for St. Paul & The Broken Bones! Attracting an older crowd, at least the […]
Two decades after the release of If Only You Were Lonely, Hawthorne Heights brought their anniversary tour to House of Blues San Diego on March 26th, 2026. The stop played the 2006 album in full, bringing along a stellar supporting lineup — Creeper opening and letlive. in the direct support slot. With that amount of […]
The Floozies were one of the first bands I ever got approved to photograph. I remember driving from Fargo to Minneapolis on my 25th birthday to shoot their show at First Avenue in 2018. It was only like my second or third photo pass and the first band I ever shot that I actually listened […]
On March 22nd, elder emos gathered at Steelhouse Omaha for Boys Like Girls’ Soundtrack To Your Life Tour. With support from I Dont Know How but They Found Me (iDKHOW for short) and Arrows in Action, the night was a celebration of an expansive 20-year career for Boys Like Girls, featuring their first two records […]
The year was 2017 and, in typical music-discovery fashion, I heard a really cool song come through my Spotify suggestions called “Matador” by a band called Model/Actriz. I saved it to my new music playlist and didn’t really think much about it beyond the fact that it was a really cool song. Flash forward to […]
Three artists woke up one day and came together to create a tour called The Sisterhood Tour — Madison Watkins, Riley Clemmons, and Leanna Crawford. All three women are openly followers of Christ, sharing a friendship with one another. These ladies I like to call the ‘church girlies’… close friends who love God and are […]
Ashnikko, the pickle connoisseur, once said in regard to her second studio album, Smoochies: “Smoochies is the tiny door you find in the club bathroom that you crawl through on your hands and knees to a technicolor parallel dimension ruled by rat princesses.” This, combined with Tamagotchis, trinkets, Harajuku, and viewing the world through a kaleidoscope, describes […]
Saginaw, Michigan was definitely in for a treat when Jeris Johnson’s Tour in the USA came to town. Power, passion, and fun were the driving forces in this night, with all bands making sure everyone felt every second of it. The first band onstage was LYLVC — a very explosive start. Lead singer Alyse has […]
What a way to celebrate March than with the Road to 311 Day Tour, making its stop in San Luis Obispo at Madonna Inn Expo. 311 just wrapped their west coast tour run that culminates with the big 311 Day show tomorrow in Las Vegas. For fans who haven’t made the pilgrimage, believe us, it’s worth every penny. After more […]
