Concert Review: Boy George and the Culture Club at Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, PA
Boy George and the Culture Club brought the 1980s, nightclub party to the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, PA. I couldn't of been happier to cover this concert. I grew up in the 1980's my core memories start just as MTV hit the airwaves. I have fond memories of seeing the Culture Club's video's and watching Boy George strut his authentic self. The videos were always filled with so much color and dancing, they had a feeling of freedom that I recognized even as a young

Concert Review: MX Lonely w/ Shower Curtain, Bloodsports, and Wiring at Market Hotel, Brooklyn, NY
If you stand on the southeast edge of the Myrtle Broadway stop on the J and M train, you can see a light coming from the corner window of a building. That light emanates from the back of the stage of Market Hotel, a DIY music venue that has been in operation since the early 2000s, providing a stage for the best the New York music scene and beyond has to offer. While the space has recently become home for more techno events and themed DJ sets, they still house incredible lineu

Concert Review: Aaron Lewis at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN
On February 27th, Aaron Lewis brought his Stateliners to the pews of Ryman Auditorium, transforming the Church into something between a honky-tonk revival and a political rally.
If you bought a ticket, you likely knew the assignment. This is Lewis’ alt country chapter, far removed from the angst-soaked roar of Staind. What you may not have anticipated was just how completely the evening would prioritize ideology before melody.

Concert Review: Kenny Wayne Shepherd with Jimmie Vaughan at the Historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN
On February 28th, the pews of the "Mother Church" filled with electricity and expectation. Ryman Auditorium has seen its share of legends, but there was a different charge in the air this time.
The room buzzed with the promise of a record that helped redefine modern blues three decades ago. Kenny Wayne Shepherd was back to celebrate 30 years of Ledbetter Heights, the album he began writing at 16, recorded and released at 17.

Interview: Jennifer Foster New Single "Shy" Out Friday!
Interview with Jennifer Foster. New Single "Shy" out Friday February 27, 2026.
What inspired the creation of this single?
This single is part of an album ("Powerline") that’s deeply personal and inspired by the place I grew up. It’s an expression of love and regret, and how we can sometimes wish we could show up for others, or ourselves, in a better way. It’s about hoping for another chance to get it right.

Concert Review and Interview: Shattered Open: Inside 1VERSE’s First American Tour, The Momentary, Bentonville, Arkansas
At The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas, 1VERSE did not simply perform. They expanded.
This was not a return. This was a beginning. And beginnings are dangerous in the best way.
Under the creative leadership of CEO Michelle Cho and A&R visionary Joseph Lim, 1VERSE stepped onto an American stage not as a test run, but as a fully realized statement of intent. From the first note, it was clear this was not a group chasing noise. They are building architecture.

Concert Review: Foxy Shazam, Decartes a Kant & Moondough at Eastside Bowl in Nashville, TN
Foxy Shazam at Eastside Bowl on February 21st felt like a fever dream. Walking in with MoonDough and Descartes a Kant on the bill, it was obvious this had the potential to tip into too much sideshow and not enough circus. Too much flash, not enough foundation.
Instead, what unfolded was a masterclass in how spectacle and musicianship can collide without canceling each other out.

Concert Review: Jeris Johnson, Butcher Babies, Eva Under Fire and LYLVC at Eastside Bowl’s, The 58!
There are definitely a few prerequisites for a memorable rock show: good bands, a crowd willing to sweat for it, and a room that doesn’t just hold sound but weaponizes it.
That’s exactly what unfolded February 22nd at Eastside Bowl’s new room, The 58, a 225-capacity echo chamber named after the exact gold paint mixture from the 1958 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop, specially granted to the venue by Gibson. Not a metaphor. The real thing.
