Longstanding stalwarts of the punk rock scene and champions of considered thought, Thrice are bringing their Vheissu 15 year anniversary tour to Baltimore on Wednesday, February 12. Vheissu famously marked a change in their sound, introducing electronic elements and a more experimental sound than anything they’d made before. The record […]
The vagabond life comes with its hopes and failures, its wild joys and its lonely moonrises. Fruition – Jay Cobb Anderson, Kellen Asebroek, Mimi Naja, Jeff Leonard, and Tyler Thompson – essentially became a band on the road, busking on sidewalks around all around America. The product of easy serendipity […]
The Honey Dewdrops – Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish – have wooed Baltimore audiences (and beyond) for the last decade, having released five records in that time. They moved from their Appalachian Virginia home to Baltimore in the first half of the 2010s, quickly settling into and becoming Baltimore mainstays. […]

The four band members who had been performing Smiths and Morrissey songs together for years before calling it quits to focus on their individual projects. Bassist Bryan Kimes, headed out to the west coast, drummer Sy […]
This past Sunday, the Red Hot Chili Peppers made a completely unexpected announcement – longtime guitarist John Frusciante (who had already left the band twice) was returning to the Chili Peppers.

There are several bands who I can say with pride that I’ve loved since their beginnings. The Joy Formidable is one of them. I remember hearing “Whirring” for the first time. My musical partner was very good at finding bands who were obscure. One day, he was playing their album, […]
Over the course of two nights toward the end of November, during what is cheekily known as “Pranksgiving Weekend” (November 29th-30th), revered local artist Mary Prankster will return to the stage in Baltimore and Alexandria, Virginia to play her first shows in nearly 14 years. Between 1994 and 2005, Prankster […]
Town Mountain tours a lot. Somewhere between 130-150 shows a year, with significantly more days spent traveling, they’re nearly always on the road together, a tarheeled traveling family. Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, I talked to Zach Smith, the band’s bassist, about their upcoming tour, including a show at The […]
I have had the pleasure of following David Wax Museum since I saw them perform at Newport Folk Festival 2010, which was a spot they won in a contest. At this point, David Wax Museum had already released two albums and they performed most of these songs at their live […]

The benefit concert will bring the filmmaker and the artists together at The Anthem on Friday, October 11. The benefit concert will also showcase the talents of the Celebration Gospel Choir, Jeremy Elliot, and […]
Music is the best gift, in my opinion. I’ve made several birthday playlists for Shantel, but I got a little creative with this one. The songs are organized chronologically through time and have a connection, in some way, to her September 17th birthday. Some songs are connected pretty straight forwardly, […]
Summer is coming to an end; however, there is still time to catch some fun shows at MECU Pavilion. Next Saturday, September 21st, LiveNation presents Rancid. They will be stopping by Baltimore, and we have a pair of tickets to give away! Details on our Facebook page! Rancid will be […]
Knotfest Roadshow 2019 is without a doubt this summer’s heaviest-hitting metal festival tour. Slipknot have embarked on a six-week long tour around North America, and they’ve brought Polish extreme black metal band Behemoth, French technical heavy metal titans Gojira, and Danish rockabilly outfit Volbeat with them for the ride. I […]
Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have teamed up with Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminal for a co-headlining summer tour. This is a tour that no music lover will want to miss. I was fortunate enough to photograph Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue at The Anthem in DC on New […]

There are a handful of bands that I truly love. I am talking “every song on every album” seems to connect with my soul. These bands have seen me through several milestones in my life (the good ones and “not so” good ones). And their music has just always been […]
Swedish “electropop” artist, Robyn, is creating an instant dance party at every stop she makes along her “Honey” tour. Robyn is touring in support of her first album since 2010; however, her fans clearly have not forgotten her. Her shows have been selling out all along her tour and from […]
Innovative, progressive, psychedelic, and incredibly fierce. Pioneers in terms of modern music. The proverbial needle in the hay stack. A band that cleverly combines several genres and styles of music to create their own unique blend of extremely technical and beautiful heavy metal music. A band that can do no […]
Gov’t Mule are the quintessential road dogs. They have been touring hard since they formed in 1995. They have become a must see band, especially with the recent release of Bring on the Music, a live album and concert documentary film by Danny Clinch. In an interview with Warren Haynes, […]
I enjoy going to festivals because it is there that I find new music and artists. For me, Hot August Music Festival has been a yearly tradition since 2014, and it was there that I stumbled upon the amazingly colorful Turkuaz. My first impression of them was driven by their […]

I remember Blondie from my childhood. My father loved music and Blondie was played often. There was such a familiarity to Debbie Harry’s voice, almost comforting. Therefore, I think I love the band even more now because of the influence the music had on my upbringing. I was only a […]
I have seen Lucius perform at least a half dozen times, and I can’t wait to see them open for Brandi Carlile on Friday at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Jess and Holly, the lead vocalists, always arrive on stage wearing matching wardrobes and hairstyles that contribute to the theatrics of their […]
I clearly remember the first time I saw The National. It was September of 2007. They were on tour in support of their 4th studio album, Boxer. I had recently began dating someone who loved this band. This show was one of our first dates together, and it was also […]
Glen Hansard is a pretty talented guy. He has enjoyed a successful musical career, as well as, a touch of fame in the film industry. Hansard quit school at the age of 13 and formed his own band in Ireland in 1990, The Frames. He spent the 90’s and early […]
We are looking forward to this month’s First Thursday by WTMD on June 6th. Last month’s First Thursday was a huge success! The weather was perfect and the bands delivered outstanding performances!
