Great night of music! Great performances! This is how I would describe Ghosts of Jupiter featuring Nate Wilson of Moe at Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, Massachusetts, on April 2, 2026. The show started at 8:00 p.m. with two special guests. The Whole Loaf is the closest thing you’ll get to an all-in-one modern sixties band.

On Friday, April 3, 2026, at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, Massachusetts, lespecial delivered an unforgettable performance along with Mihali. The night featured a special Nirvana set followed by a tribute to The Offspring. The sold-out show was nothing short of incredible—easily one of the best rock and roll performances I’ve ever experienced. The gritty, no-frills venue provided the perfect backdrop, and the crowd fed off every moment.

As the stage was set for the highly anticipated performance by 10 Years, the production crew worked diligently to ensure a seamless transition. With roots in Knoxville, Tennessee, 10 Years surged to prominence in the early 2000s. Their 2005 album, The Autumn Effect, cemented their status as a strength to be reckoned with among the alt-rock scene with standout tracks such as “Wasteland” and “Through the Iris.” Onstage, 10 Years masterfully harnessed tension, unleashing a sonic

This new release is a double-LP vinyl retrospective by Minneapolis, MN heavies The Coup de Grace. The Coup de Grace were a great band. As background for those who may not know them, The Coup were a thrash metal-meets-90s-hard-alternative-rock band who came up in the fertile Minneapolis music scene in the later 1980s. They post-dated by a few years the more famous bands that arose from that scene (Prince, Replacements, Husker Du, Soul Asylum), and started life as many meta

Aly and AJ brought their Places to Run Tour with support by Hayden Blount to Archer Music Hall in Allentown, PA. It was one of the first nice days in the Lehigh Valley after a really long and cold winter.

Several hundreds of fans attended the concert. It was a terrific night of music.

There are shows you go to, and then there are shows that feel like they mean something before a single note even lands. That was the energy walking into The Basement East for Dogs in a Pile. The room was already buzzing, not just for the music, but for a purpose bigger than the stage. The Rae of Light Foundation was set up inside, doing more than just showing face. They were connecting, educating, and putting real action behind their mission.

This resounding triple-bill of old-school thrash metal has been ripping it up back and forth across the United States in March/April 2026 – the ‘Thrash of the Titans’ tour (a variation on the early 90s ‘Clash of the Titans’ tour title which featured Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth) – which has been ranging from Portland, OR in the Northwest in early March, across the Midwest to the East Coast, and will be heading back westward to finish up in L.A. and San Francisco in mid-Ap

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? Many of the songs on this album were inspired by the place I grew up - a small farm in rural New Brunswick, and I wrote it at a time when there was a lot of change going on in my life. Part of the change was letting go of this place that had shaped me.

Gogol Bordello brought their signature high-energy chaos to Boston’s Royale on March 25, 2026, transforming the packed room into an electrifying, dance-filled frenzy.

Free Throw has returned with their latest album, "Moments Before the Wind," and I'm finding it challenging to write this review. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Free Throw because they were the first to give me a chance when I was just starting out in concert photography, even before I became a photojournalist. At the time, I lacked a resume, had only photographed a charity event, and was inexperienced and unfamiliar with the rules, yet they gave me an opport

Sebastian Bach recently took to the stage at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, PA, as part of “The Party Never Dies” tour.

I love my Blue Grass and The Infamous Stringdusters show at the Uptown Theatre in Providence, RI on March 22nd was going to be one of the best, high energy Bluegrass shows.

Several hundreds of fans were present to welcome Night Zero appearing at Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, MA, along with Weird Phishes and this show was incredible!!!!

There is a specific kind of magic in the "routine" of the House of Blues Chicago. The familiar weight of the media pass, the nods of recognition from the security staff, and the dimly lit nostalgia of those art covered walls. But this past Saturday night, the air felt different. Just twenty-four hours prior, I had been laid off from my full-time job.

On March 19th, the Honeywell Center in Wabash, IN, played host to an extraordinary concert featuring the legendary Everclear alongside a talented group from Fort Wayne. Cicadas, the opening act, delivered a masterclass in rock music, showcasing their technical proficiency, volume, and authenticity.
