It was a lovely evening of music at Wooly's in Des Moines, Iowa. However, something was missing. It was a sobering night when it was reported earlier in the day that Sleep Signals had to drop off the P.O.D. "Satellite 20th Anniversary Tour" due to their horrific accident. Our thoughts, prayers and well wishes are … Continue reading (Concert Therapy Reviews) “Satellite 20th Anniversary Tour” featuring P.O.D. Live at Wooly’s in Des Moines, Iowa (8/20/2021)
(Concert Therapy Reviews): VIXEN Live at The Landis Theater in Vineland, New Jersey (7/11/2021)
While trying to write this review... all I keep referencing back to in my mind is Lorraine Lewis's use of the term "Hella-cool". If I may be so bold, I'd like to use this word to describe the recent Vixen show I was lucky enough to see. Vixen has been rocking the stages for the … Continue reading (Concert Therapy Reviews): VIXEN Live at The Landis Theater in Vineland, New Jersey (7/11/2021)
(Concert Reviews): STYX Live at Five Flags Event Center in Dubuque, Iowa (7/3/2021)
How does one encapsulate a 40 plus year career into one evening? Especially when that band has had historical accomplishments such as playing the pre-game show of Super Bowl XXXV, had a moon named after them by NASA themselves, and have sold millions of records, had chart topping singles and continue to release critically acclaimed … Continue reading (Concert Reviews): STYX Live at Five Flags Event Center in Dubuque, Iowa (7/3/2021)

(Concert Review) REFUSED Live at Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis, Minnesota (2/29/2020)
It was an extremely emotional night, a night where people come together to unite to let the powers that be that there's a lot more of us than of them. A night where music had messages of rights for refugees, antiwar sentiments, pro feminism, and environmental and social justice. Legendary punk rockers Refused with special … Continue reading (Concert Review) REFUSED Live at Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis, Minnesota (2/29/2020)
(Concert Review) SKILLET Live at Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (2/26/2020)

(Concert Review) BETH HART Live at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, United Kingdom (2/17/2020)
This was truly a double bill made in heaven. Both artists I had always intended to see live but for various reasons had never been able to actually manage to do exactly that. Kris Barras, the former MMA fighter turned blues music troubadour, would be playing acoustically as a tasty warmup to the enigmatic majesty … Continue reading (Concert Review) BETH HART Live at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, United Kingdom (2/17/2020)
