Mötley Crüe & The Struts – Staples Center – Los Angeles, CA – December 31, 2015 All bad things came to an end… Mötley Crüe bids farewell after thirty four years of Sex, Drugs, and Rock n’ Roll. What a way to end 2015. I couldn’t think of a party more raucous, more bombastic, more explosive than Mötley Crüe New Year’s Eve 2015 farewell show. There was a feelin

Old 97’s & Banditos – 9:30 Club – Washington, DC – October 17, 2015 It is so perfect that during this time of Back to the Future reminiscences, Old 97’s are touring. A band that would fit right in circa 1955 with a few appearance alterations (Rhett Miller would at least have to button a few more buttons) and content tweaks (controlled substance references galore in Most Messed Up for starters

Delta Rae – World Cafe Live at the Queen – Wilmington, DE – August 29, 2015 It almost feels too simplistic to compare Durham, NC’s faves Delta Rae with Fleetwood Mac. After all they both have multiple lead singers (Rae has two women and two men, while the Mac had two women and only one man) and play a wide variety of musical styles – including aspects from rock, p

Styx – American Music Theatre – Lancaster, PA – September 19, 2014 The middle of Lancaster, PA — right in the heart of Amish country — seems like an odd place to hold a classic rock concert. The concert was held at the American Music Theatre which is surprisingly large given it’s outer appearance. On the way to the venue there are rolling hills and farms, and y
