Interview: Denise Marsa Chats About New Music Video for "Hole" (Until Dawn Remix)
What inspired the concept for the music video?
I wanted to bring light to the song, as it is a pretty heavy topic and I thought what better place than a music store. Music is healing for so many and I wanted to feature an environment that was supportive and warm. Of course, my neighborhood music store was the perfect spot and when I asked Jeff Slatnick if we could film the music video there, he said yes, without a pause.

Concert Review: If the World Was Spinning, it's Not Anymore: Meg Smith Delivers a Show-stopping Performance in Tampa, FL.
It's an unusually cold evening as the sun shines on the historic cobblestone streets of Ybor City here in Tampa, Florida.

Inside this popular music sanctuary, adoring fans in halos and angel wings are scattered around the room, patiently waiting to be blessed with killer vocals, catchy lyrics, and the unmistakable energy of Meg Smith,

Interview: Get to Know Penny Rebels
What first got you into music?
JB - My parents record collection, and long drives with my folks listening to cassettes.
EWC - My earliest memory was finding my dad's vinyl collection, and it was a record by The Shadows. I remember the cover had a Vox amp with some Fender Stratocasters leaning up against it. I think it had a song called Apache on it…

Interview: Michael Bianchi of Consequence of Energy Chats About Their New Album "We Are One" Released on Friday January 30, 2026.
What inspired the theme or concept behind this album?
What’s interesting is that the album wasn’t fully understood while we were making it. We didn’t start with a rigid concept. The meaning revealed itself after the process. Only toward the end did we realize the record was about division—internal and external, personal and collective—but also about the duality of life’s contrasts: light and shadow, strength and fragility, instinct and consciousness.

Concert Review: Magic City Hippies at Paradise Rock Club
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

Concert Review: GHOST at Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
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

Interview: Pete Ganbarg, Grammy Winning Producer & Music Executive, Chats About His Podcast, Rock & Roll High School and Much More
What inspired you to start Rock & Roll High School, and how has it grown from
your original concept?
When I was running the A&R (Artists & Repertoire) department of Atlantic Records from 2008 - 2024, I realized that a lot of our younger employees didn’t know a lot about the history of contemporary music. I’ve always believed that a clear understanding of the past is the best way to predict the future, so we started teaching class inside Atlantic to introduce the great h

Concert Review: Searows In-Store Performance, Rough Trade Below, Manhattan, NY
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.

Concert Review: Bumpin Uglies and Joey Harkum at The Met in Pawtucket, RI
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.
