Concert Review: Suceava Blues Festival 2025 Suceava, Romania
Tucked away in the undulating hills of northeastern Romania, Suceava is a city where history feels layered – where the footsteps of Moldavian princes, Habsburg governors, and Orthodox monks still resonate in the hush of cobbled streets and timeworn fortresses. It’s here that the Suceava Blues Festival comes to life – a free-to-attend celebration that brings together world-class blues talent like Ana Popovic, Ian Siegal, and Sugar Queen Blues, alongside Romanian favourites suc

CONCERT REVIEW: KALEO AT THE LOWELL SUMMER MUSIC SERIES
On Sunday August 3, 2025, Kaleo stopped at the Lowell Summer Music Series to promote their third studio album titled MIXED EMOTIONS released on May 9 via Atlantic. The weather, the temperature, the atmosphere, the ambiance… Everything was perfect for an exciting night of music. Bringing their chairs with them, hundreds of fans sitting near to each other on the lawn at the Boarding House Park stage were amazed to be part of the outside concert.

Concert Review: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard w/ U.S. Girls at Forest Hills Stadium, Queens, NY
There are very few bands as popular and simultaneously enigmatic as Australian rock (?) group King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Throughout their 15 year career, the band has officially released 27 albums ranging from all types of genres including psychedelic, thrash metal, and synthpop to name a few, as well as miscellaneous explorations into microtonal tuning. The group has also made a name for themselves for their enthralling live sets, frequently switching up their formu

Concert Review: Jimmie Vaughan and His Tilt-A-Whirl Band at 229 with Surprise Guest Eric Clapton, London, U.K.
Anyone going into this evening thinking this was just going to be a normal Monday night in London was sorely mistaken. We knew we were in for an incredible night of music with Jimmie Vaughan and his Tilt-A-Whirl band, but we were yet to see just how legendary it would be.

AJR with Madilyn Mei, Valley, Cavetown, and Goth Babe at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana
It was a cool, comfortable evening on July 31st, 2025 when AJR brought their “Somewhere in the Sky” tour to Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana. The indie pop band, comprised of brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met, came without Adam. Adam has stepped away from select shows to focus on his book and advocacy for climate, while also contributing to the TIME100 Climate list. His absence did not hinder the show whatsoever. I promise you that! AJR had four really neat bands o

The Head & The Heart w/ Wild Rivers, Marfa at Central Park Summerstage, Manhattan, NY
New York, much like other parts of the country, has been stuck in a heat wave for the better part of the last week of July. Not only that, but the weather reports have poorly accounted for the chances of rain, slamming New Yorkers when they least expect it. However, the excitement for a live performance always shines brighter than the weather, no matter what that weather may be, and this excitement couldn’t be more palpable than at The Head & The Heart’s Aperture tour at the

On Monday July 28, 2025, The Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, NH, welcomed Christopher Cross - Men At Work - Toto. It was a great night of music. Around Nine thousand people attended the concert.

Concert Review: Pink Martini at The Rooftop at Pier 17
In the first year that I graduated from college, I worked at a cabaret theater in Manhattan. I had the opportunity to watch dozens of artists perform music from across all sorts of genres and cultural backgrounds from the comfort of my seat behind the soundboard. Even on days when it could feel like a repetitive cycle simply from the nature of the labor involved, I never got used to seeing artists full of elation on the stage, along with audience members excited to support th

Concert Review: Suprise Chef at the Lodge Room, Los Angeles, CA
cover, Superb. My brain, true to form, “I’ve got an idea that probably can’t be done before the show, or at all.” Lachlan sees where I’m going and smiles. “I think we’re trying to… preserve it,” he laughs, genuine glee, and the overall spirit Surprise Chef brought to the evening. Between them and their team, there was a unified sense of awe. Just kind humans, happy to be there.

Concert Review: late night drive home w/ ALEXSUCKS, Babebee at Bowery Ballroom, Manhattan, NY
In the ever-evolving social media-centric field of indie rock, artists are put under a lot of pressure to stand out. The pressure of writing captivating songs, creating countless promotional materials to get in front of your audience, and crafting a compelling live performance can get daunting to the point of breaking a musical project. However, I’m delighted to report that Texas based rock band late night drive home (all lowercase) is an example of how to effortlessly play o

Concert Review: The Thing w/ Certain Death, Night Club 101, Manhattan, NY
Rock and roll never died, most people simply stopped looking for it. Thankfully, in the New York music scene, you can find pockets of pretty much any genre under the ethos of artistic love first. You do it for the love of the music, for the love of the community. That’s the exact feeling that washed over me when I found my way into one of Manhattan’s newest club venues, Night Club 101, to catch the third night of The Thing’s residency.

Concert Review: Styx, Kevin Cronin Band, & Don Felder “Brotherhood of Rock Tour” Hits In Holmdel, NJ
Being a 21st century-born fan of 20th century music rocks.
Don't get me wrong— it also sucks a lot, too. However, when the good catches up, it tends to make up for all the experiences I missed out on while I was busy not being alive.
This past Sunday night in Holmdel, New Jersey was a gleaming reminder of why I do what I do. Three killer forces of 1970s rock and roll set out to flood the PNC Bank Arts Center with their own kind of deafening magic, and I set out to captu

Concert Review: Take Me To The River, Barbican Centre, London
The Barbican Centre in London was transported straight to the heart of Memphis for one unforgettable evening as Take Me To The River rolled into town.
