I had photographed Magic City Hippies before and I was very excited to photograph them again and write a review on the Saturday night show at Paradise Rock Club. Despite the large amount of snow and the cold weather, I knew this show would be fantastic. Knowing that, I was able to brave the elements. It was a freezing cold night. The temperature dropped to 7 degrees Fahrenheit. To my surprise, I was not the only crazy music fan to show up at the venue. It was much closer to b

On January 28, 2026, Swedish heavy-meets-pop-meets-Satan rockers Ghost brought the ‘Skeletour’ to the Mohegan Sun Arena on an icy winter night.  The Swedes are doing something different for this tour – no cellphones allowed, attendees were required to stow away cell phones in venue-provided Yondr pouches, with the aim of enhancing the live experience and engaging the crowd.  I really liked the “NO” cellphone policy, heck when I started going to concerts in the 80’s we didn’t

It was a freezing cold night. The temperature dropped to14 degrees Fahrenheit, and the forecast predicted a huge snowstorm for Boston. Despite the cold weather, five hundred fans, the maximum allowed at the Brighton Music Hall, showed up on January 23, 2026, to listen to Reprise. It was an exceptional night of music.

The 5th Annual East Nashville Tribute to The Traveling Wilburys filled The Basement East on January 23 with something that felt increasingly rare. Not just great music, but shared purpose. Benefiting East C.A.N. (Community Action Network), the long-standing East Nashville nonprofit focuses on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.

There’s a peace that occurs in the space between every song Alec Duckart plays. It’s not the dead, empty, painstaking air that infiltrates the typical silence as an artist tunes their guitar or gets a sip of water but instead an understanding that something very special is happening underneath Rockefeller Center.

Bumpin Uglies and Joey Harkum performed at The Met in Pawtucket, RI, on Saturday January 17, 2026. They were so exceptional that I spent many hours after the show listing the music swirl around in my head. The music, the vibe, the audience (sold out show), the socialization, the lighting on stage…everything was so perfect for a great night of music. The two groups performed in front of a group of dedicated fans who were there to listen to the incredible music.

State Champs played a sold-out show at the Fillmore in Philadelphia with Cartel and Real Friends. This show was part of their Celebrating 10 ears of Around the World and Back Tour.

Nashville rarely gets labeled a jam-band town and Spafford didn’t ask for permission. They just walked into the room and stretched the Music City until it snapped, then kept pulling.

I love Bob Weir’s music and all his different endeavors, from The Grateful Dead to The Wolf Brothers and to Dead and Company and many more bands. Losing Bob Weir is a musical tragedy to the entire world particularly to his millions of fans.

The Armed Soft Play Biffy Clyro

My friends from The Ghosts of Jupiter asked me if I wanted to hear them play and take some pictures during their performance on 1/9/26. As I love their music, I was very excited to hear them again. The Lizard Lounge is a very small venue located just north of Harvard Square at 1667 Mass Ave in Cambridge.  This was my first time at the Lizard Lounge, and it was very intimate place for a fantastic night of music. The sound was great, and the band’s brand of jam music was exce

On January 7th, 2026, Eggy & Real Estate performed at The Met in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. A popular live music and entertainment venue, The Met is known for hosting a diverse range of genres like rock, punk, folk, and hip-hop and is an intimate no frills wonderful venue. The show started at 8:00 p.m. with Real Estate as the opener.

YouTube titans First to Eleven recently played an outstanding show at Jergel’s Rhythm Bar and Grill in Pittsburgh, PA. The band played a strong medley of their best cover songs backed by strong visuals and high-level fan interaction. Supporting First to Eleven was the newly rebranded American Vanity, formerly known as Burn the Jukebox, of TikTok fame.

On January 4th, 2025, Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, MA, welcomed the inaugural Crossroads Calling Mini-Fest, a one-day celebration of rock music, local arts, and community spirit with a vital mission. This year's mini-fest aims to raise money for the Boston Blues Society, supporting the winners of the local Boston Blues Challenge to compete at the prestigious International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis, Tennessee.

On Dec 30, 2025, The Disco Biscuits performed at The Royal in Boston. The group put on a 4-hour show in front of their admirers, who welcomed them by singing, dancing, and sharing their experience with each other. I had heard that The Disco Biscuits were fantastic; effectively, they were incredible.
