Concert Review: CHVRCHES at Northside Festival in Brooklyn
June 16, 2014
I’m a sucker for catchy bands fronted by badass ladies, so when I heard CHVRCHES was going to be headlining Brooklyn’s Northside Festival, naturally I had to be there… Along with every other New Yorker. The free, sold-out show took place in Williamsburg, on the edge of McCarren Park. Booked as a “rain or shine”

Review: Jack Johnson Kicks Off New York’s Summer Concert Season at Jones Beach
June 8, 2014
Last night’s audience at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater kicked off their summer with a beautiful night under the moon as they were serenaded by the incredibly talented Jack Johnson, the king of surf-infused folk rock. Johnson, being the kind of performer you respect for his wholesome morals and philanthropic habits, had Amos Lee

Concert Review: Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds Bring Soul to NYC’s Bowery Ballroom
June 1, 2014
Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds’ talent took flight last night before an intimate, 200+ crowd at the Bowery Ballroom in Manhattan. The lower east side venue played the perfect host, leading concertgoers through a mellow lounge space before reaching the main stage. After opening act Paris Monster played an experimental synth-pop/funk set to the

Concert Review: Band of Skulls at Warsaw in Brooklyn

Yesterday was a big day for Band of Skulls, as the alternative rock band played their new single “Asleep at the Wheel” on Late Night with Seth Meyers, rocked a sold out show in Brooklyn, and announced their headlining spot at the 2000trees Festival this summer. There’s nothing slowing down the Southampton, England natives as
Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty Atlanta Concert Review @ Lakewood Amphitheatre
August 4, 2013
I’m happy to report that nostalgia is alive and well. No, I’m not talking about the NKOTB girl’s night out posts that seem to be clogging my Facebook feed. Saturday night, the 90s were resurrected in decadent fashion as the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty brought their summer co-headlining tour to Atlanta’s Lakewood Amphitheatre.
Mayhem Festival Atlanta Review: Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon, Amon Amarth
July 31, 2013
Mayhem descended on Atlanta’s Aaron’s Amphitheatre Tuesday afternoon. The traveling metal festival has become something of a fixture on Atlanta’s summer calendar scene since its inaugural visit in 2008. Last year, they packed the bill with the likes of Slipknot, Slayer, Motorhead and Anthrax, making this year’s lineup a bit of a step down. Rob

Tame Impala Atlanta Concert Review at The Tabernacle
June 19, 2013
I’ve had Tame Impala’s show at the Tabernacle dog eared on my calendar for quite some time. Their latest album Lonerism sits right alongside Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange and Dawe’s Nothing is Wrong as my addiction discs for the first half of 2013. Lonerism is a beautiful and ambitious effort, employing psychedelic rock that seems

All good things must come to an end. We are closing out our final day at CMA Music Festival on a sizable down note. We were supposed to be treated to full sets by Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, The Band Perry and Jake Owen tonight, but we got two song sets with a side of
