Ah, maybe you are in the elite few who are spending their summer days in Ibiza. If I were, I’definitely be hangin’ at the Blue Marlin enjoying legendary sunset sessions with Goldfish. Looks swell. I’d particularly like it if I had the place to myself and a few special peeps. But for now a photo, ... Share on Facebook
Scene of the crime: Firehouse no. 13, Providence RI – Sat. June 18,2011 Sometimes I like to play musical roulette. Pick a venue, do some quick video research and show up. Sometimes this works out really well and sometimes it doesn’t. This weekend I found myself having this very kind of live music adventure ... Share on Facebook
INTERPOL May 6, 2011 Scene of the crime: Lupo’s, Providence, RI If you like to listen to Interpol while standing alone in the dark, then a ticket to Interpol live might make sense – you’d get to stand in the dark with a thousand people, there’d be a light show and a smoke machine. And, ... Share on Facebook
Speechless. Everything I want from a show was here. Good: music, vocals, song choices, set pacing, lyrics, playing to the audience, costume changes, skinny men, buxom women, costumed characters, performance art sub-narratives, strong graphic visuals, crowd surfing and a whole lot of things I probably missed since I was standing in the balcony and some ...

Who: Nicole Reynolds When the Magic Happened: Monday, April 25th, 2011 Speakeasy under Local 121, Providence, RI She was the opening act for Chris Pureka, and I didn’t know anything about her at all. Nicole Reynolds. She was milling about the dark but glamorous basement venue, pint sized, modest and humbly dressed. Her voice on ... Share on Facebook
I don’t know what rock I was hiding under, but the addicting sights and sounds of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals didn’t make it onto my radar until last month, just a week before their headline show in Providence, RI, at Lupo’s. I don’t usually like to compare one musician to another, but in this ... Share on Facebook
Here’s a random fact for you: Jon Bon Jovi shares a birhday with Coldplay’s Chris Martin. And Dr. Seuss. On the eve of his 49th birthday, I was lucky enough to be among the masses in TD Garden in Boston singing Happy Birthday to a guy from NJ that’s been rocking stages for 28 years ... Share on Facebook

Introducing Stereogrove. Groove Rock. That’s what they call it. I’m not sure about that. True, it was the most-rocking base lines I’ve heard in years (and bassist voted to be most like a Mexican jumping bean) – along with vocals that were a captivating sound combination of hip hop, rock, and maybe a moment of folk ...

It’s true, I admit I’m the unofficial president of the Mike Savino fan club. And the live show last Saturday night at The Mercury Lounge in NYC with the Tall Tall Trees- replete with Mom in the audience – did not disappoint. Lots of new songs, a frenetic energy mostly lead by Mike’s trademark unusual ... Share on Facebook
I love how well she can cast a bull-figher-themed video; I love how if you close your eyes you’d...
Etta James, RIP. She was badass from beginning to end. We should all be so lucky to be so...
