BB&TDH are basically Kevin Devine’s band. They played a set before Kevin came out for his. I didn’t know one song, which makes it more difficult to enjoy but he was good regardless…

For awhile there it seemed like the Heartless Bastards were never going to come to town after their excellent show at Club Cafe in 2007. Now it seems that they can’t stay away, sailing through as openers for The Gaslight Anthem, Jenny Lewis, and The Decemberists in one year…

Anni opened for Camera Obscura and what struck me was the rapt attention she received from the audience. She came out with her …

As with all the bands that played, I had never seen KHT even though they have been around for almost twenty years now. They sounded great. Where have I been?…

I attended my first concert in 1979. Four years later The Cynics formed. I am amazed I haven’t seen them play ever…until now. Even though..

These guys were a total blast! Seemingly cramming every person they know onto the stage to help out added a very communal vibe to their set which consisted of incredibly refreshing music…

This was one great night of music! Slim and my man Rob Levkulich kicked the night off with a spirited set of stripped down ‘autobiographical’ songs…

It’s July and I cannot recall a better year for live music than this one and I have six months to go. Really, I cannot believe the quality of music I have seen so far. I LOVE Jenny Lewis. Not in a “fanboy she’s so cute” kinda way but her two solo albums…

I have seen Bobby play four times now and I feel lucky each time considering he draws an average of eight people in Pittsburgh..

These guys were good. I never heard them before and although I wasn’t blown away by any means I definitely would see them if they rolled through town again…

I was thrilled when they announced this show, a sort of thank you from the coolest record label in the world to it’s fans. I was then immediately bummed that it was on the 4th, family commitments prevented me from getting there before fireworks…

What can you say? The band is always a fun time and hanging in the park with friends and family to kick off the summer makes it even more of a blast…

Sam and his band definitely know how to rock out! It was great to see many enthusiastic people for them. I guess he is getting a burgeoning base here …

Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, this band blends zydeco, blues, rock, bluegrass, and folk into an enjoyably safe party groove. They opened with…

I am not too familiar with Dar but she sure did have a bunch of enthusiastic fans present. It seemed that most of them left after her set…

Dean & Britta played a spectacular set to open this exhibit. Lots of film, artifacts,..

This show was terrific. Yeah, the band didn’t jump around onstage with rock star theatrics, basically they just stood and played the…

The band’s latest release ‘My Maudlin Career’ has been steadily gaining ground in my top ten list for the year and seeing them twice in one day…

I was fortunate enough to obtain a photo pass for the bands set opening for Dave Matthews. Being my first experience with a pass at the venue, I was struck by the precision of the operations and restrictions that come with it…

Another great set from the boys, this time blasting out in Oakland. Backing up Dar Williams was rough and rag-tag but really fun…
