Ben Howard at the Paradise
The weather Saturday night could not have been better for waiting in line for a great concert, which was lucky for the huge crowd that turned up for Ben Howard’s show at the Paradise Rock Club. The line stretched far down the sidewalk and around the block, made up of a variety of Howard fans: [...]
Glen Hansard Live In Concert
A queue slinked around the sidewalk of Massachusetts Avenue and curious passersby inquired what the commotion could be on the otherwise quiet Tuesday night. The name on everyone’s lips was Academy Award-winning musician and songwriter Glen Hansard. Best known for his work with The Frames, The Swell Season, and his starring role in the film [...]
Pierce Fulton at Splash Ultra Lounge
Dreams do come true for those who pursue their interest in what they love the most. For 20-year-old Pierce Fulton that’s definitely the case. This guy is doing what most college students wish to do – study and tour all over mixing music. Not to mention he also represents part of the New England community [...]
The Avett Brothers at the Pavilion
I arrived at the breezy Bank of America Pavilion this past Sunday evening with nothing but expectation– ten years behind the rest of the world, I was relatively new to the work of the Avett Brothers and the enormous gathering they’d picked up from fans of all genres and wasn’t sure what sort of audience [...]
Datsik at The Palladium
As some may know Datsik is doing a Firepower Tour, flying back and forth to selective states around the U.S. Last week he stopped by Massachusetts and played in Worcester’s Palladium, and without a doubt the show rocked from beginning to end. But let us not forget about the audience, because regardless of the day [...]
Bloc Party at the House of Blues

Bon Iver at the Pavilion
Fans keep 2008’s For Emma, Forever Ago so dear to heart. When Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon wrote “Skinny Love”, he was crafting together the commentary to dwindling love stories across the country. With the 2011 self-titled release, people thought nothing less of the delicate confessions that were offered. These songs of solitude and searching are [...]
Why? at The Middle East
It’s been just under a year since indie hip-hop band Why? came to Boston. The last time the group was here, fans were treated to an intimate show with an “unplugged” vibe – a special treat, for sure. Their stop at The Middle East last night, however, gave fans a chance to throw their [...]
Mariami Video Release Party
The Mariami event began with a great DJ set playing R&B and hip-hop. As the place started to fill up, the lights dimmed and the director of the music videos introduced the two videos. The videos were live in-studio performances of songs Mariami was covering. The videos included these performances and short documentary parts about [...]
Newport Reggae Festival
The sun was just starting to come out from behind the clouds when we arrived at the Newport Waterfront Reggae festival that afternoon and the show had been going strong for several hours.
