The Allman Brothers used to do a multi-show residency at NYC’s Beacon Theatre and played over 250 times there over the course of the band’s storied career. As part of the latter ...

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, ...
FOTOBOM: IDLES @ HOUSE OF BLUES
Keys are pretty important. They control access to your home, your car, your valuables… you just don’t hand them over to anyone. Especially strangers. IDLES? They’re more like friends, if not family. So, when someone’s keys found their way to the stage in some improbable ...
FOTOBOM: YO LA TENGO @ THE COLUMBUS THEATRE
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: 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 ...
FOTOBOM: BLUE ÖYSTER CULT @ CHESHIRE FAIRGROUNDS
Back in ’77, the second side of Spectres kicked off with a crowd pleaser/pumper called “R. U. Ready 2 Rock?” (did Prince have a copy of this record?) and they often started live shows with it to get things going. Blue Öyster Cult didn’t trot that one out tonight, ...
