Michelle on the outskirts of Seattle on a Sunday night is no small feat, but that's exactly what LA-based Fitz & The Tantrums (with fantastic support from fellow LA-native Andy Grammer) managed to do.

Make no mistake: Fitz and the Tantrums provide the perfect soundtrack to dance the night away and feel rejuv ..read more

Selling out the SODO is no small task. In a turn of inspired marketing that will only help to further broaden their sizable audience, a well lit photobooth was available for all fans to t ..read more

  It's tough to describe a JPEGMAFIA concert to anyone who has never been before. Is it a rap show? Yeah. Is it punk? A bit. Is it pop? Sort of. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. It's a concert you experience, not just one to which you listen. In 2018, Barrington Hendricks (JPEGMAFIA aka Peggy) garnered widespread acclaim for his breakthrough album, Veteran. Few were the year-end lists -from Pitchfork to Spin, Rolling Stone to Noisey - on which the album didn't appear. Ever since, he has continued to use that momentum to build a large and ever-growing fanbase around the world. Case in ..read more

    It's hard to overstate just how brilliant Julien Baker's live set is. It's intimate and enormous, subtle and euphoric. It's a concert, yes, but it's more than that: it's an indelible hybrid of music and emotion that's as cathartic as it is beautiful. Suffice to say: Julien Baker, sold-out at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, was one hell of a first post-COVID show. Julien is one of those rare artists where the live music somehow sounds even better than the records - and that's saying a lot, because from "Sprained Ankle" to "Turn Out the Lights", "Little Oblivions" to her work wi ..read more

After a long, lost year of COVID-cancelled concerts, shuttered venues, and languid live streams, “there will be music in Newport this summer.” It may look a little different at first, but Newport stands ready to welcome both the Folk and Jazz fests this July - some of the first large-scale music festivals to return in the country. The difficulties of 2020 need not be expounded upon - and health experts are still exercising caution and encouraging vaccinations - but this summer’s schedule certainly feels like a return to the normalcy we took for granted. There will again be music, merriment, a ..read more

Christmasland JubileeChristmasland Jubilee by Dan Blakeslee Dan Blakeslee is a fan of holidays. Be it Halloween, when his masked moniker Doctor Gasp annually rides through concert venues; or now Christmas, as the New England native delivers on a long-time dream with Christmasland Jubilee (out December 1), a welcome gift for music lovers this holiday season.

All Yours’s debut album takes a critical look at the country today in nostalgic pop-rock anthems. ALL YOURS by ALL YOURS Time seems to be running out on All Yours’s new, self-titled album. Maybe it’s because the last few years, and especially recently, the clock seems to be ticking down for humanity. It’s no surprise, then, that songwriter Jason Ford Turner returns to the passage of time over and over again in his lyrics, ruminating on all-things past, present and future. You could say he’s a bit of a Billy Pilgrim, the protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five, as he becomes un ..read more
