Hallelujah The Hills is my favorite band right now. Their debut album is firmly cemented in my top albums of the decade and I was a little hesitant on listening to the new sophomore release knowing full well that it couldn’t be as good as the first…

Kevin is the Man. He’s been doing his thing for years now and it was a treat to see him play again. He has a quiet resonance to his onstage demeanor that lets the songs shine through. My only complaint, and not against him,..

I loved Grandaddy. In turn, I love Jason Lytle. His solo disc doesn’t stray far from his old band’s sound and is creeping up to the top of my year end list. As for the show, he was way mellow but sounded incredible in the pastoral setting. I actually enjoyed his set better than Neko’s…

These little studio sessions are a great way to see a band that you unfortunately have to miss on that night for some reason or another…

This group was a total revelation. I heard a little of their stuff going in and was highly impressed with this trio. This album…

I was really jazzed to hear the new release live in it’s entirety. I actually heard almost all of it during the rehearsal photo session we did a few weeks back but never got to hear my favorite track,..

First up on a triple bill, Matt came on and ran through a bunch of tunes with a sparseness of instrumentation that I felt was incredibly refreshing. The tunes sounded like he wrote them on the spot but his DIY demeanor and the…

So I decided to attend this event. It was cool to meet the guy. I had to ask him, “What was it like to work on ‘The Match Game’..

After seeing the band several times in the year, I was excited that they debuted a couple tunes on this night to fulfill the allotted time slot. It was also the biggest stage I had seen them play on up to that point. It was strange to see them spread out…

This show was fantastic. The album these guys made is easily in my top ten for the year. Why did I wait three months to post it? I get lazy and have literally thousands of images to sift through. I am not kidding. At this show alone, I took 200 pictures and Conor…

Facebook Listing It’s obvious that I love music. What many might not realize is that I love movies just as much. Ever since I was a kid, I have absorbed facts, trivia, and any inconsequential minutiae relating to film. I consider myself a walking movie encyclopedia. Seriously, next time you see me, ask me who stars in any movie and I can probably tell you…

A last minute addition to the line-up, she seemed a tad out of sorts during her set. Maybe it was because she supposedly JUST arrived from Brooklyn or else that’s her overall vibe. Either way, she wasn’t bad but I am sure she has had better shows…

I’m back. Ever since I was a little kid I always wanted to hit “the most magical place on Earth”. Thanks to the G-20 and Yom Kippur, I was able to take my family there for a fantastic time. I am backlogged for proper concert pics (broken record, I know) but should be quite busy in the near future. Next week in particular there is an insane wealth of shows and that’s just from one promoter! Stay tuned…

Hello neighbors. I am taking a few days off and getting out of Dodge for the G-20. There won’t be any updates till late next week. In the meantime you can help out by visiting CelebSafari. It’s basically a…

The band were scheduled to play on the station’s Live Show program but due to technical..

The band was cool enough to treat me to breakfast as we used the eclectically unique backdrop of Zenith before doors opened to the public for my..

My favorite Pittsburgh power trio brings it to the ‘bird supporting their friend’s new release. My man Matt was a monster on the drums. So good…
