Butch Walker Live at Central Presbytarian Church
Around one hundred and fifty people sat in the pews at the Central Presbytarian Church as Butch Walker took the stage last night, but they did not stay seated for long. The singer-songwriter stepped out onto the altar solo and took his place behind the piano. Walker kicked off the set with “ATL”, a moving [...]
Touring KUT and Downtown Austin
Day 2 of SXSW was an interesting one. After a morning of panels and free lunches we got to have some great conversations about the current state of radio. We toured the KUT station on the University of Texas and got insight on how other stations run. The facilities were great and it inspired me [...]
Dave Grohl’s Sound City Players
The second night of SXSW had perhaps the biggest thrill of my live music-attending career. This years keynote speaker, Dave Grohl, took to the stage at Stubb’s with his new project Sound City. This group of Grohl’s “heroes” was brought together when the Foo Fighter was making his documentary about the Sound City recording studio [...]
Cold War Kids at Clive Bar
As of last night, I have seen Cold War Kids live four times in three different states. From the first night I saw them I was completely taken aback by their vigorous live energy. It’s infectious nature permeates the crowd whether you’re at a sold out House of Blues in Boston or closing out a [...]
Natalie Maines and Dawes at the Moody Theater
I’ll probably get killed for this, but one of the coolest things I saw on our first night at SXSW happened during the Natalie Maines set. As you might know, Maines is the former frontwoman on The Dixie Chicks but has branched off on her own since then. The band really sounded nothing like her [...]
Butch Walker at SXSW
I came down to Austin without a set schedule. I figured I would just go wherever, hang out with different people and be exposed to different music as a result. There was just one thing that I absolutely had to do: meet Butch Walker. Butch Walker is a singer-songwriter, the front man of Butch Walker [...]
Clive Davis at Club 119
After a failed attempt to get into the highly desired Kendrick Lamar show at the Spotify House, I decided to head over to a different showcase downtown at Club 119. The Source as sponsoring this showcase and it featured two of my favorite artists right now, Ab-soul and Schoolboy Q. As I get in the [...]
Lord Huron Live at the Moody Theater
After hearing about Los Angeles folk rockers Lord Huron on various podcasts, they quickly secured a place in my heart. Between the anthemic woah-oh-oh’s and playful drum beats, I knew this would be a set not to miss at SxSW. As my first stop of the night, I didn’t know what to expect. Would the [...]
Tame Impala Live at HOB
Tame Impala is still feeling out its listener base in the U.S., but if a packed venue full of Bostonians positively drooling for the on-the-rise Australian act is any indication, they’re getting damn close. After openers and fellow Aussies The Growl opened the house with their garage sound, Kevin Parker’s ever-growing pet project took the [...]

The project is a tribute to the morna of Cape Verde and Brava set in the 1940s. Andrade-Watkins worked with a team of faculty and staff members from Emerson to bring Serenata [...]
