Jackson Browne and James Taylor could both pack a State Theatre or two on their own, but to be able to pack the Xcel Energy Center, on a Monday Night, was no problem for them both. With a packed catalog of hits and fans that knew every word to them all, Both acts were welcomed […]
Ive heard of Caamp, on the radio, spotify playlists, and they’ve become a familiar name on quite a few festival posters as well, including this past year’s Hinterland festival in Iowa. But I was caught off guard at the sheer number of people who packed into the Palace Theatre this past Friday to watch the […]
Photography and Written Review by Elizabeth Mann On November 15th, The Show Last Night had the incredible opportunity of capturing LANY in concert once more. Accompanied by artists Keshi and Salem Ilese, the show brought a vibrant energy to the Monday night music scene of Denver. Ilese, most known for her TikTok sound Mad At […]
When you think of bluegrass music, what comes to mind? Is it the stringed instruments of banjos and mandolins played by old men in a juke joint? Is it the music that defines the rolling hills and mountains of Kentucky and Virginia? Is it the outdated type of music that influenced the beginnings of country […]
“Not bad for a Tuesday night!” Said Paul Klien, to a roar of applause at the Armory. Paul, the lead singer for LANY, seemed healthy and confident last night in Minneapolis after needing to reschedule the original date two weeks ago for vocal rest. “I know we’re late, and you could have been to a […]
Sloan Struble, who makes music as Dayglow, was all smiles last night performing at First Avenue. He had every reason to be, selling out the venue for the first time to a crowd who was just as excited to see him as he was to perform. “I was told to be very cautious not to […]
It’s no secret that the pandemic we’re experiencing has been hard-hitting for bands and touring musicians. Some have used the time to record new material, others used it as a time of rest and reflection, both of which are hard to do in the middle of a global crisis. That’s left many people thinking about […]
Photo by Nolan Knight After canceling his 2020 SOLD OUT North American tour, Dayglow will this week embark on his first-ever national tour. The rooms may have been upgraded but the sellouts are the same as fans across the country finally get their chance to experience the joyous and community-spirited event which is a Dayglow concert. Stopping at Minneapolis’s […]
Tonight, Madison Cunningham finally got the respect and headlining show she deserves in St. Paul. In past shows where Madison Cunningham has opened at the Palace Theatre, iv’e made note of the noise level from the audience during the show, oftentimes drowning out her singing during slower numbers. Tonight, that definitely wasn’t the case. An […]
Lately, the new definition of a highly anticipated show is one you’ve been waiting nineteen months for. Such was the case tonight for Drive By Truckers, who are back on the road to fulfill a string of tour dates put on hold due to the pandemic. And judging by the wide eyes of the trucker […]
Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, who have unfortunately been relegated to an opening act for quite some time now, provided one of the more energetic opening sets I had seen for quite some time. Thao’s solo sets have been a bit tamer, however with a full band, she took control of the stage, […]
I was told at a young age “Never miss a Sunday show.” And to tell you the truth, I never really understood what that meant until recently. I never enjoyed waking up more tired than i usually was on a Monday morning, nor did I appreciate my ears ringing right when i woke up. But […]
There is a very particular Fleetwood Mac song that could apty describe Lindsey Buckingham’s departure from the band and this solo tour, but I’m not one to pick the low hanging fruit. Buckingham’s solo tour checks all the boxes for the perfect defunt boomer act. An ex guitarist from a world renowned band, playing his […]
“Its good to be here, really” was the first thing Folk Musician Gregory Alan Iskov said to the crowd after the opening number. He was right, as it was one of the first concert’s he and his band had performed post-ish-pandemic. Or at least, in the last eighteen months. The singer was the opening act […]
Album Review by Casey Carlson If it hasn’t been made apparent the last few years, we are in an 80s revival. Stranger Things is the posterchild of Netflix streaming and nostalgia. Blinding lights is still on the Spotify Top 40 years after being released (and who can complain? Its a banger) and zoomers are embracing […]
The Fillmore, Minneapolis’s newest concert venue, does a good job of calling back to hallmarks of the original Fillmore’s past, while trying its best to fit in with the other venues of the Twin Cities. The main floor of The Fillmore is all wood, with chandeliers hanging high above, making it one of the classier […]
Lower Dens performed to a packed crowd at the 7th Street Entry Last Night. It didn’t take long to have a group of fans at the front of the stage begin to dance and twirl to the swirling guitars onstage, played by Frontman Jana Hunter and backup guitarist Peter Tran. Lit solely by ground lighting, […]
Ive often spoken about how intimate a venue the Cedar Cultural Center is. Beyond a seated section in the right corner, you are waist-high to the stage, with no security fence, welcome to put your beer right on the stage. So it’s fitting that such an intimate venue is chosen to host an intimate artist. […]
“As you can likely tell” Nathaniel Rateliff said in between songs “These are quite a bit different from the songs by The Night Sweats.’’ A quiet, seated crowd seemed to agree with tepid laughter. The last time most of us had seen Nathaniel Rateliff was during his tenure as a frontman of The Night Sweats, […]
“This album is the story of a second chance.” – Bethany Cosentino, Best Coast Always Tomorrow is the culmination of the last ten years of front person Bethany Cosentino’s life, seeing her stand back from the past decade of the band’s existence and taking stock in where she’s been and who she has become. It’s an album […]
“It’s freaking cold here!” Madison Cunningham said in between songs Friday night. “I know we’re wimps since we’re from California, but man, It’s got to affect you guys too.” To many of us, It had. While we’ve definitely had worse winters, It doesn’t feel any less cold. I’ve got two space heaters going in my […]
I was actually lucky enough to have two concerts to photograph on Saturday. After sneaking out after the first DBT set at the Gothic, I hopped on a bus and rode up to LoDo. Glad I did, as the Larimer was packed and absolutely rocking.
I was lucky enough to photograph two of the three Denver-metro show for the Drive-By Truckers. Here’s a few images from both. Fox Theater – Boulder, CO SETLIST: Intro Slow Ride Argument Heroin Again One of These Days Play It All Night Long When The Pin Hits The Shell Do It Yourself First Air of […]
Lost Dog Street Band Legendary Shack Shakers The Dead South
As I meandered through the crowd as Wilco began their set on the second of 3 shows this weekend, I began to smell the familiar scent of a fall bonfire. It was a mixture of pine, burning leaves, and birch. I thought it was odd that at a venue like this, where I typically am […]
in 2019, an all woman rock band isn’t as rare of a phenomenon as it used to be, but that doesn’t make it any less cool to see. For a long time, Sleater Kinney has shown people that “WoW, WoMeN ReAlLy CaN rOcK, huh?” and have moved well beyond the stigma of having to prove […]
