Doors were slated to open at 5:30pm and fans lined up early and wrapped around the side of The House of Blues for this sold-out show. After […]
It was a crisp winter evening in Orlando when Machine Head entered the House of Blues for the first time in 13 years! Yup, that’s right. Disney banned Machine Head for a number of reasons including violent imagery, inflammatory lyrics and “undesirable fans” (it’s not easy being metal), and since the […]
The Served Cold Tour arrived in Orlando on one of the coldest evenings of the year. Thankfully the House of Blues folks had pity on those of us outside waiting in a chilly 42 degrees (Florida people do NOT have the proper clothing for this!), and opened the doors […]
What happens when a headliner has to reschedule a show with only one-week notice? Well if you are the House of Blues, you reach out to WJRR and Supa Dave to fill the venue; and fill the venue they did! The house was packed with a “Native Noise Presents Orlando […]
Snoop Dogg kicked off his 21 city, “I Wanna Thank Me” tour on December 2nd in San Francisco. His 12th stop was The House of Blues, Orlando on December 21st. Snoop, the man, the myth, the legend. Seriously. He needs NO introduction (unless you’ve been living under a rock for […]
Orlando’s 101.1 (WJRR) hosted The Blizzard of Rock featuring Sum 41 on Wednesday, December 18th at the House of Blues, Orlando. Local favorite 408 got the party started with their infectious, self-labeled “Lemon Pop” sound. But these guys are much more than that and are definitely worth the listen (and […]
Sum 41 is closing out their North American tour with four more stops, House of Blues-Orlando on 12/18, The Clyde – Ft. Wayne, IN on 12/20, Monroe Live in Grand Rapids, MI on 12/21 and Delmar Hall in St. Louis, MO on 12/22 before they head overseas for a massive […]
In my 42 years of life, I have never attended a country music concert. This is hard to believe, considering I grew up in a small town in North Georgia and country music was dominant on the local radio stations and the preferred music of most of my family. However, […]
Earlier this year super groups Alter Bridge and Skillet announced they would be co-headlining the Victorious Sky Tour in support of their recently released albums, Victorious (Skillet, August 2nd) and Walk the Sky (Alter Bridge, October 18th). This was a 20-city tour beginning on September 22nd at the MECU Pavilion […]
After a weekend anniversary trip to the Bahamas with my wife, I was dreading reality as we disembarked in the rain this past Monday morning. As we moved through the customs line, a list of to do’s was rolling through my mind, making the return to reality even more unwanted. […]
So, I have been wanting to catch Rainbow Kitten Surprise for awhile now. RKS have been making music since 2013 but only recently have the been stepping into the spotlight. Back in January, they sold out two nights at the 930 Club which is no easy task (and both shows […]
The Red Tape Tour took over the House of Blues Friday night with headliner Nonpoint, NYC based Madame Mayhem, Zero Theorem out of LA and, filling in for Hyro the Hero at this stop, hometown favorites Devil’s Envy. These guys (and gal) are about halfway through a 22 city […]
The house was packed Friday night for Orlando Rocks!, an ongoing concert series featuring local and regional bands hosted by the House of Blues, Orlando. I’ve always felt that Orlando is a mecca for kick-ass rock artists and the HOB didn’t disappoint! First up was Nevertel. This was their first […]
Fans flowed into the House of Blues in Orlando on Friday night for WJRR’s first ever Native Noise concert, despite a category 4 hurricane baring down on Florida. From the moment the doors opened, the crowd was buzzing and ready for a kick ass show and these bands did NOT […]
