Tyson Ritter of The All-American Rejects – Delaware Valley College – Doylestown, PA – April 25, 2014 The All-American Rejects & Gentleman Hall – Delaware Valley College – Doylestown, PA – April 25, 2014 Wow! What a concert. I can honestly say that in my whole life, I have never seen a live performance like this before. Everything about the concert added to the vibe, and it all culminated into quite the show. First, there was the venue. This weekend, Delaware Valley college ha

Pentatonix – Electric Factory – Philadelphia, PA – March 30, 2014 Pentatonix – Electric Factory – Philadelphia, PA – March 30, 2014 This past Sunday night the Electric Factory had a full house to see the up and coming  a capella  group, Pentatonix, winners of season three of the reality singing competition  The Sing-Off . When going to this show I really didn’t know what to expect, but as soon as they hit the stage the energy from the five vocalists – as well as the fans – wa

Peter Hook & the Light – The Trocadero – Philadelphia, PA – September 14, 2013 – Photo copyright 2013 Serge Levin. Peter Hook & the Light – The Trocadero – Philadelphia, PA – September 14, 2013 What Peter Hook and the Light offered was a glimpse into the greatness of Joy Division and New Order. They also exposed the transition of the members of the first band surviving the tragic passing of their lead singer, Ian Curtis, and changing to develop the sound of iconic New Order.

Cody Simpson in concert Cody Simpson - The State Theater - New Brunswick, NJ - July 17, 2013 I went to see Cody Simpson with the silly notion that I could relax and listen to this guy, see what the hype was about for this 16-year-old teen sensation from Down Under. I thought I knew what to expect; beyond thousands of screaming teens and tweens hoping that they would be selected as Cody's Angel for the night. But I was more than pleasantly surprised, though it was difficult to

Maroon 5 –  Songs About Jane: 10th Anniversary Edition Maroon 5 –  Songs About Jane: 10th Anniversary Edition  (Octone) I still clearly remember the first time I heard Maroon 5's first single "Harder to Breathe" on the radio. Good song, I thought, but the band will never be heard from again. So much for my prognostication skills. Adam Levine and his boys have spent the last decade (wow, has it been that long?) proving me wrong, over and over. And in fairness, I knew I was wro

The Pretty Reckless - Hit Me Like a Man EP The Pretty Reckless –  Hit Me Like A Man EP  (Interscope) There is a long, not always storied, history of actors and actresses who fancy themselves singers. Sometimes it works out, more often it doesn't.  The lead singer of The Pretty Reckless is Taylor Momsen, a former model-turned- Gossip Girl  star. But if you're expecting some candy-ass bubble gum crap, emo-folk warbling or artsy pretentious noodling, look somewhere else. The Pre
