I don’t know how other people feel, but the loss of Prince and Tom Petty still have me quite shaken up. Without a doubt, whenever I have the chance to see a legend, I make the time. Bob Weir, unequivocally, is in the top-tier legend status with McCartney, Elton John, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton,…
A smiling and thankful, Bill Wilson, to the raucous, sold-out crowd at the end of the night: “YOU MADE MY DREAMS COME TRUE. YOU’VE MADE MY DAY, MY YEAR…MY LIFE!!” Bill Wilson’s story is an inspiring one. The Post and Courier did an amazing job detailing his path to this night, but the TL;DR is that…
(Pic by @jenndphotography) When it comes to things in life that bring pure joy, music festivals without a doubt are on the far right of that bell curve. I woke up on Sunday morning and made the 3.5 hour drive solo from Charleston, SC, to Jacksonville, FL, to catch an amazing all day lineup of…
Disclaimer: I am a huge Bruce fan and still am. I also never write negative reviews given I’m envious of people that make music for a living, but at $600+ ticket prices, I made an exception. When it first got announced that Bruce Springsteen would be doing an intimate show on Broadway, my sister, Mom,…
After still feeling the high the next day from Nth Power’s three plus hour gig, I couldn’t help but smile reminiscing about Spinal Tap. They went to 11…well, the appropriately named Nth Power goes past that live. I had the fortune of interviewing Nth Power drummer, Nikki Glaspie, when they were playing in Charleston, SC,…
While SUSTO continues to introduce themselves to new fans nationwide (and internationally with a solo handful of gigs supporting Band of Horses), they have been household names in Charleston, SC, for a few years. Their last show in town was in February 2017 at the Music Farm, though as a regular follower of them locally…
As a quick disclaimer, I’ve seen the Foo Fighters over 15 times that range from small clubs, to festivals, to Wembley Stadium. For years (unsuccessfully), I’ve been trying to initiate an interview with Grohl via their PR firm. One of the key questions I’ve always wanted to ask him, “How come you’ve never gone all…
Eric Gales was unforgivably not on my radar until last year when I interviewed New Orleans jam, funk band, Earphunk. Towards the end of my phone call I asked Earphunk lead vocalist and guitarist, Mark Hempe, a notoriously stock question “If you could jam with anyone today who would it be?” He responded, “There’s this…
Fitz and the Tantrums have been playing the big stages at the Coachellas and Bonnaroos for almost ten years, so I was in near shock when my friend texted me he was seeing them at the always rowdy, pretty small, Dewey Beach bar, Bottle & Cork. The Cork has a capacity of 1,000 though it…
On my whiteboard at home I keep a highly prioritized list of top five bands I have yet to see. AC/DC and Van Halen have been at the top for me for awhile, which is evident with the faded marker ink. Sadly, I had to scratch off Motorhead at the #1 spot when Lemmy passed two…
