Carlie Hanson – is truly the next big thing. Before she was singed to Warner Bros. Records earlier this year, Carlie was getting a lot of attention from her self-released singles on Spotify. At only 18, she went from living a typical teenage life in the Midwest with her family […]
I was at The Anthem last Thursday night to see Jawbreaker. At the time, I hadn’t really given too much thought about who was opening. I always get to venues early for shows but I had no idea what to expect with this opening performance. From the minute War on […]

I was 15 years old when I first discovered The Cure. My musical tastes were just beginning to develop, and I discovered that the more poetic and creative an artist was, the more attracted I was towards their music. Those teen years, as I suspect is the case for most […]

I happened upon Raindeer last fall opening for The Swirlies at Ottobar. As with most opening bands, I knew very little about them going into the show; however, by the end of the night, I became a new fan. This was the case with my first experience with Raindeer. A […]
I went to the Metro Gallery in Baltimore this past Saturday night for Raindeer’s record release party. The band wasn’t scheduled to take the stage until 10:30pm. However, I always go to shows early because I have learned that opening performers can truly be amazing. Every band on the schedule […]

Soul Coughing was one of my favorite bands in the 90’s. Their album Ruby Vroom has always been one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time. So, you can imagine my excitement when I heard that Mike Doughty was touring to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this album […]
Another opening band made quite an impression this past Sunday night when machineheart opened for Me You at Six at the 930 Club. Even though the band does not have an expansive catalogue, they delivered an engaging performance, clearly winning over the crowd. At one point, lead singer Stevie Scott […]
You may not have heard of DREAMERS. However, you will most likely recognize their songs. That is because they have been getting substantial airplay on local radio stations and that is not a surprise. I first became acquainted with DREAMERS when a friend sent me a link to one of […]
Everyone who knows me, knows that I am a 90’s girl. When I sit and think about it, almost all my favorite albums come from the 90’s. These were my teen years, and this music took me through college into adulthood. One band that I simply fell in love with […]
I make it a point to never skip an opening band when I go to shows. “Oh they’re just the opener”. I hear this a lot from the casual music fan. However, I know from experience that the opener can be every bit as good, sometimes even better than the […]
Baltimore has a reputation for producing some amazing artists. Wye Oak, Beach House, and Dan Deacon are just a few of my favorite artists who call Baltimore their home. I have had the pleasure of seeing these artists in small clubs and venues around town at a time when they […]
It has been three years since Metric last performed as a headliner. The last time Metric performed at the Fillmore Silver Spring, it was March of 2016 for the “I Can See the End” tour. However, during this time, Metric has been the supporting act for some pretty impressive bands. […]
In June of 2002, Interpol played their first show in D.C. at the 930 Club. They opened for Clinic, and they had not yet released their first album, Turn on the Bright Lights. I remember there being a buzz about this band that was being compared to Joy Division. However, I […]

Oh the mystery that surrounds, “That 1 Guy“. Is this a band, a magician, or a puppeteer? Exactly what is that instrument this guy is playing? All these questions ran through my head last summer when I happened upon… you know, “That 1 Guy”. I entered the Lincoln Theater just […]

The Nashville based trio, which features bothers, Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix, have just released their sixth full length album. One Drop of Truth is considered their most dynamic and showcases songs that each resemble a short-film by their story-telling nature. In support of their new album, […]
For me, in my life, music is a close friend. It’s a part of me, and like all relationships, some bands are nearer to my heart than others. When I found out that Dolores, lead singer of the Cranberries, had died, my heart hurt. Just like it would if I were […]
It was a snowy night in Baltimore this past Saturday, January 12. However, despite the weather, I ventured out to the Ottobar to see one of my favorite local bands perform. Caligula Blushed brings the sounds of The Smiths to the stage and they have quite a following. A little […]
I remember the day vividly. It was June 29th and I was on my way to see a show at the 930 Club. I passed this amazingly colorful line of people – hundreds of people – obviously waiting in line for something big. Admittedly, I was completely unaware as to […]
