Irving Plaza, NYC, 10.26.11 – The first time I saw, or even heard of, G Love was back when he opened for Blues Traveler at Roseland in either 1994-1995, and I was hooked. There’s nothing showy about G Love. They are the perfect “chilling out” music, like sitting by the pool on a hot Saturday […]

Irving Plaza, NYC, 10.22.11 – If you closed your eyes you might think you were in a basement club in London sometime in 1976. If you opened them and looked around you would realize that some of the people in the venue weren’t even born yet in 1976. For a mostly older crowd who listened […]

The Wellmont Theatre, Montclair, NJ 10.14.11 – 25 years removed from the peak of her radio popularity, Cyndi Lauper is still performing like she did, well, 25 years ago.

The Wellmont Theatre, Montclair, NJ, 10.13.11 – Coming back from a long hiatus, Bush brought its European version of Seattle grunge to The Wellmont Theatre.

The Wellmont Theatre, Montclair, NJ 10.06.11 – I’ve seen my fair share of events at the Wellmont Theatre. I’ve covered bands that have ranged from The National to Shinedown to Chris Cornell solo.

Terminal 5, NYC, 9.30.11 – Opening for Matt Nathanson, Vanessa Carlton was not the normal supporting act for a big band.

Photos: Foster the People at Terminal 5 NYC 9.27.11
Terminal 5, NYC, 9.27.11 – Foster the People comes across as a band still a bit surprised with their success. They had the biggest hit of the summer, Pumped Up Kicks. They sold out 2 New York City shows back in June, but they were sold out even before their debut album hit the stores. […]

Photos: Erasure at Terminal 5, NYC 9.14.11
Terminal 5, NYC 9.14.11 – I grew up on “new wave”/brit pop, or whatever genre you want to classify these bands as. So when I get a chance to cover them, I jump at it. The problem sometimes is that some of these bands have seen better days, and it ruins my 20+ years of […]
