(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) 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)
(Concert Review) THE CALLING live at The Factory in Manchester, United Kingdom (2/10/2020)
While the band name may ring a musical bell deep within my subconscious until I actually Youtubed the band's name and came across their classic track “Wherever you will go” I was pretty much struggling to identify any songs in my head. After a traumatic few years which saw The Calling frontman Alex Band take … Continue reading (Concert Review) THE CALLING live at The Factory in Manchester, United Kingdom (2/10/2020)

(Concert Review) ALTER BRIDGE with CLINT LOWERY live at The Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois (2/14/2020)
It was a chilly Valentine's Day evening in Belvidere, Illinois as Alter Bridge's Walk the Sky 2020 tour came through. Both couples and groups of singles made it their destination for the holiday evening, as the balcony was completely sold out, and with very little room to spare in the standing room only general admission … Continue reading (Concert Review) ALTER BRIDGE with CLINT LOWERY live at The Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois (2/14/2020)
(Concert Review) KORN & BREAKING BENJAMIN Live at BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, Illinois (2/6/2020)
It was a near sellout at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, IL for Korn and Breaking Benjamin's 2020 Winter Tour. Rock group Bones UK opened the show for the already mostly full arena. They mentioned it was their biggest tour yet, in terms of venue size. I felt that their vibe would be … Continue reading (Concert Review) KORN & BREAKING BENJAMIN Live at BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, Illinois (2/6/2020)
