We were definitely not in bad company at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, IN on August 8th, 2026 when Five Finger Death Punch brought their high energy, heavy alternative metal production to the stage in celebration of their 20-year anniversary. Support bands Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire really got the place hyped up. Previous reviews have made claims that the show is inconsistent or had sound issues, however this was not the case last Saturday at Ruoff.

There are moments that feel unforgettable. Those three hours of live music featuring JJ Grey & Mofro and The Wood Brothers at the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on July 30, 2026, left a lasting impression on me. I consider those moments truly memorable.

I was thrilled to cover this concert, knowing it would be one of the season's highlights. Words can hardly capture how incredible this sold-out show was. The Summer Stage at Tree House Brewing was the perfect venue for the Revivalists: intimate yet lively, with great lighting and sound, as well as fantastic food and drinks.

Sarah McLachlan is a '90s legend whose career has spanned decades. As a musician, she is known for her emotionally exposed, self-examined, and pensive songwriting, met by piano-led ballads and vocals that quietly command. Sarah's legacy far extends beyond her musical accomplishments, including fifteen Grammy nominations, three wins, global hits, and more than forty million records sold worldwide. She is equally celebrated for her stewardship, having co-founded the groundbreak

It was high school and I was in fashion class when one of the popular girls brought in a copy of Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism CD. The black crow, the red string, the mustard backdrop. How I got my hands on that album from there—was it Napster, LimeWire, or BearShare?—I don't remember, but I do remember playing Title and Registration on repeat while crying in my bedroom because my boyfriend made out with another popular girl at some party.

The day before was a long day for me in Pompeii - still one of the greatest adventures and events I've ever attended. I was staying in Naples - not far from Pompeii. After the Pompeii show I got back to the hotel around 12:30 pm, and then I had to get up at 5 am to catch a six-and-a-half-hour train up to Verona and then an hour car drive to my room in Este. A really cool place to stay - it was converted from an old factory building constructed in the 1600s into a smaller b

The streets of Tampa's Ybor City are alive as the sun sets on this last Friday of the month. Tonight, the exciting John Wood Band rolls into the Zodiac Club to support the immensely talented band Twin Fin on their Kings of the Coast Tour. This six-piece ensemble brings fresh energy, cool vibes, and a unique sound to their performances. Tonight marks the second of three Florida stops, continuing to build their fan base and win over new audiences with every stage they step on.

As a longtime rock-and-roll fan and live music photographer, I have photographed Dawes many times. However, this was my first time photographing lead singer Taylor Goldsmith and his brother, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, performing together as a duo. That opportunity came on July 30, 2026, at the Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Massachusetts, a beautiful venue with incredible acoustics.

Just to stand there and think about all the people who had been in that venue in ancient days were truly mind-blowing. Savatage – while not nearly so ancient – have a storied history of their own. I've been a fan of the band since the very beginning, from my tape-trading days when I first discovered them to buying the Sirens album on its release date in 1983. During the 80s, I saw the band four times and photographed them twice in 1990 but I haven't seen them since.

On July 25, 2026, Ragged Mountain Resort in Danbury, New Hampshire, welcomed the Kinfolk Music & Arts Festival. Designed as a community-focused gathering in the mountains, the festival was about more than just music. It was a celebration of community, family, creativity, and the arts. The festival emphasized a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with interactive activities, artisan booths, arts and crafts vendors, and more.

The doors opened at 7:00 p.m. Rapidly, the seats at the theatre were filled up. The crowd was very excited to enter this historic venue with fantastic lights and sound and went crazy when the band entered the stage. The performance featured tracks from their albums and a mix of original songs and classic tracks from the Allman Brothers Band.

Yungblud is back, and Indianapolis was there for it. Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis on July 28, 2026, was a sold-out show. This was a reschedule date, but it was definitely worth all of the anticipation. Good things come to those who wait. After taking some time off and skipping a festival to take a break to focus on loved ones and for his mental health, he’s back and phenomenal as expected. You can’t even be mad about it.

Growing up in the Philippines, The Fray and Dashboard Confessional were two of the bands that defined my high school years. Their songs constantly played on the radio and became part of some of my favorite memories. Never did I imagine that one day I'd be standing in the photo pit, capturing the very artists whose music I grew up listening to.

Some concerts are just another night out. Others feel like a full-circle moment. Flyleaf’s sold-out stop at The Fillmore Minneapolis on July 19 was undoubtedly the latter. The 20 Year Anniversary Tour marks Flyleaf’s first official tour with original vocalist Lacey Sturm since her departure from the band in 2012. While the reunited lineup has appeared at various festivals over the years, this tour gives fans the chance to experience the band in a full headlining setting on

The Summer School Tour proved exactly why it's becoming a must-see summer event. With every band bringing their own personality and style to the stage, the night never felt repetitive. From discovering a new favorite in Lake Drive to witnessing the chaos of Winona Fighter and celebrating Honey Revenge's well-earned success, Minneapolis was treated to one heck of a show. When the final bell rang, fans left with sore feet, ringing ears, sweat- soaked shirts, and a few new favor
