FOTOBOM: DINOSAUR JR, LEMONHEADS AND RYLEY WALKER @ HOUSE OF BLUES
The weekend after Thanksgiving is usually a good time to reconnect with people you’ve not seen in a while, and for a certain segment of the concert-going demographic, chances are good that if you went to the Dinosaur Jr/Lemonheads show last weekend you probably did a see a familiar face ...
FOTOBOM: CHEAP TRICK AT PROVIDENCE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
There’s an argument to be made that Rockford, Illinois might be the spawning place for America’s best power pop band but then again that definition is as hard to get a grip on as a greased up eel. For me, Cheap Trick didn’t quite hit all the hallmarks of the form that bands ...
FOTOBOM: THE FIXX AND FASTBALL @ CHEVALIER THEATRE
The Fixx hit town last weekend, and for those who were looking for a giant syringeful dose of 80’s nostaglia, I’d say the target was hit. It had been a while since I’d thought of them, even though setlist.fm ...
FOTOBOM: BLACK MIDI + L’RAIN @ THE SINCLAIR
Usually I have a pretty good idea what sort of show I’m gonna see before I step through the doors of the venue, but not tonight. And truth be told, afterwards I’m still not sure. At the behest of a friend who shares a good overlap of music taste, I decided to check out Black Midi, ...

Someone online recently made a pretty astute observation about Yo La Tengo; while they have been playing for over three decades now, their fan base has a pretty youthful average age, especially compared to their peers. I guess that underscores in a very meaningful way that they continue to ...
FOTOBOM: THE BLACK CROWES AND DIRTY HONEY AT XFINITY CENTER
Sibling rivalries are nothing new and date all the way back to when Abel took a rock to the head from his older brother. Nothing’s gotten that heated in the world of rock, but as fans of The Kinks, Oasis and CCR can attest, when things get bitter they can get really bitter. Chris and ...
FOTOBOM: WILCO AND SLEATER-KINNEY AT LEADER BANK PAVILION
Wilco and Sleater-Kinney finally bring last year's canceled tour to town, guitar frenzy ensues.
NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL 2021
“I buy the groceries, you make the meal.” Words from Jay Sweet during his Q & A session with Adia Victoria as part of her Call and Response podcast, a great analogy that underlines the community ...
