Delmar Hall hosted an intimate night of ethereal rock as the band Palace took to the stage for a stop on their Spring 2024 US tour. The venue was packed from front to back and buzzing in anticipation for the show, as I elbowed my way up to the front before shooting the opening act. […]
St. Andrews Hall hosted the Gothic Summer Tour and it had one of the most fun lineups I have ever seen.

The Old Rock House just south of Downtown St. Louis hosted another heavy dubstep show to a packed house of headbangers.

North Carolina-based improvisational rock band Big Something came roaring into St Louis on April 18th and I could not have been more excited.
