What the world needs more of is a return to that good ‘ol rock-and-roll sound.

From wielding swords to waving crutches (gotta love getting older…), […]
On August 1st, the Pacific Amphitheatre was packed with pearl buttons and pompadours as Stray Cats headlined their first of two nights in Costa Mesa, California.

Gary Clark Jr. hosted a night for music lovers at The Factory in St. Louis. The musician from Austin showed up with one of the most impressive rigs I have seen in a while, which was only rivaled in impressiveness by the way he played the guitar. The audience at The Factory showed up early […]
St. Louis was given their latest dose of Rock-and-Roll as Greta Van Fleet kicked off the second leg of their Starcatchers World Tour at Chaifetz Arena.

Excitement filled Anaheim as fans eagerly waited outside the House of Blues in the rain.

It’s not every day that you’re able to see a band that made rock what it is today… a band that pushed the envelope of popular music along from ‘nifty 50s’ bop to the raw rock-and-roll of the 70s.
