For anyone that’s a huge How I Met Your Mother fan like myself, you’re always excited to hear about new projects the cast is taking on. Josh Radnor, aka Ted Mosby, has surfaced over the last couple months playing live gigs for his two man folk band, Radnor and Lee, with long time friend and Australian…
As a music nut who grew up on classic rock, rap, hair bands, Metallica, and so many rock and blues greats, the bar for attending a great arena show is higher than what is fair to bands today. After all, I’ve experienced the Tommy Lee drum kit roller coaster in person, Alice Cooper twice, as well George…
I had an easy decision to make. I could ride with all my friends the two-hour drive to the beach for New Years on December 30th, or I could stay behind, go to the Shakey Graves concert solo, and then drive myself to the beach the next day. I made the right call. Like a…
I woke up the morning of November, 10, 2016, like any normal day. I expected to do my normal nine to five grind and peruse the latest music news that I always do in the morning. That’s when I got an email I’d be seeing Bob Dylan, front row and center, at the Township Auditorium,…
Believe it or not there’s a benefit to writing about music weeks after seeing it. Getting some distance from an event as well as re-listening to the music is valuable when evaluating a series of shows. Such is the case with Phish’s last concerts, a three night run over Labor Day weekend at Dicks Sporting…
I’ve seen many legends perform before. The concerts usually go like this: Play some hits early. Then play some new stuff mixed with mediocre old stuff. Finally, bring it home with a rocking encore of greatest hits. That wouldn’t even describe the warm up DJ, who spun up the crowd with some Beatles mashups that were funky and fresh. At…
Phish just wrapped up the East Coast portion of their 25 date summer tour, and now head west for dates at famed venues such as The Gorge and the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in the coming weeks. I hopped on tour for a five-show run beginning in Philadelphia on June 28, catching two shows at…
Jim Morrison once said, “I’ve always thought comparisons were useless and ugly. It is a short cut to thinking.” No offense to Mr. Mojo Risin, but I’m not on LSD (presently) and the best way I know to get friends and people excited about bands they’ve never heard of is to compare them to ones…
Perhaps my biggest musical regret in life is that I didn’t get into the Grateful Dead until my senior year of high school. Jerry Garcia passed away less than a year after I started devouring Dead tunes as fast as I could. At the time, I would scour Jack’s Music Shoppe in Red Bank, NJ, for any…
To be honest, looking back at the last 48 hours, I’ve really been kicking myself for never having heard of Nathaniel Rateliff. Sure, I had heard their hit song “S.O.B” several times, but I never knew who sang it or what they were about. When I heard Nate Rateliff was playing a concert at America’s largest landscaped…
