The Brother Brothers will draw me in to see them every time. They are such a cool couple guys, having already seen them at Nelsonville Music Festival, and then performing with Courtney Marie Andrews. This time one-upped those experiences by getting to see them in the intimate GAR Hall in Peninsula. A great seat, for a great nighti of music!
I couldn’t have been more excited to see Woods booking the Beachland Ballroom on the eve of our big Eclipse event! Friends were in town, plans were made, and this was icing on the cake. Avey Tare was also performing, but we didn’t catch much of his performance. Woods ruled the night for me, once again.
Another Spring, another work conference trip - back to San Diego! This time I was able to check out the venerable Casbah music venue, a space that I would say is very equivalent to the Beachland Ballroom in size, vibe, and authenticity. Would definitely go back.
I’d been catching back up with Tyler Ramsey (former lead guitarist of Band of Horses), and fell in love with his most recent album. More subtle and spacious than I’d generally appreciate, but I was drawn in to his great songwriting (and bummed I missed his recent Cleveland visit). Check it out.
Opening was Leslie Stevens. A new-to-me performer, but a great talent. Sporting a little quiver and a slight southern draw in her voice, she echoed Stevie Nicks and Janis Joplin(’s lighter side).
Last minute decision to attend the Revolutionary Women In Music Exhibit Opening event at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Was treated to special guests: Inductee Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's (2021), Shirley Manson of Garbage and Lisa Loeb, joined Shelby Morrison, VP of Curatorial Affairs, to discuss the exhibit and women's impact and role in music. Some great speaches! Lisa performed a couple of her songs.
Another year, another Brite Winter Festival on the West Bank of the Flats. Love it every year.
First concert of 2024, first concert in well over a month, and I even traveled to Cincinnati for it! Of course I discovered Noah Reid through is appearance in Schitt’s Creek, but I’ve really enjoyed all three of his albums and figured he’d be deligthful on stage. Of course he was…

It was great getting to meet up with some out-of-town friends - for a *really* out-of-town band. Princess Chelsea hails from New Zealand, so it was a rare opportunity to catch them stateside.
Drayton Farley has been one of my favorite country artists of late. A little surprised to 1.) see him performing at Mahalls, and 2.) that so many folks were at this show! He sounded great and hope to see him at the Beachland next time around.
The venerable and always lovely and humorous Dar Williams. Seeing her perform at GAR Hall was a true delight, especially getting to experience the new expansion room & bar at the venue.
