Ana Popovic rocked the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft Lauderdale, FL, on Saturday night. The 43- year-old Belgrade, Serbia born blues guitarist, led her five-piece band through an evening blues-infused funk, soul, and jazzed up Rock ‘n’ Roll music.  Highlights included the soulful, bluesy ballad ‘Slow Dance” and a rowdy version Hendrix’s “Crosstown… Continue reading Ana Popovic | Broward Center for the Performing Arts | 1/18/2020

Billy Strings | Capitol Theatre | 1/17/2020

Can you call Billy Strings a newcomer? Maybe not anymore, seeing as how the twenty-something-year-old virtuoso bluegrass guitarist, along with his band of three other members, is now known for selling out large venues around the country. And yet, the word newcomer feels right in the context of making important notches. Strings and his band,… Continue reading Billy Strings | Capitol Theatre | 1/17/2020

A Tribute to Hank Williams | 1/1/2020

Sixty-seven years ago, on New Year’s Day, Hank Williams Sr., passed away. What he did for music in just a short amount of time (29 years) on this Earth is legendary.

Allman Family Revival | Beacon Theatre | 12/28/19

“This is for you, Dad.” Devon Allman said this around 8:30 PM last Saturday night, with his face and first finger pointed up toward the sky. It’s hard to imagine what he, as well as the other two Allman Brothers relatives in The Allman Betts Band, must have felt like getting to perform to a… Continue reading Allman Family Revival | Beacon Theatre | 12/28/19

Dead & Company | Chase Center | 12/30/19

A new, cavernous San Francisco concert venue was put to use by Dead & Company on Dec. 30, and while it is the biggest indoor venue in Grateful Dead-hometown history, the party was no less enthusiastic. On New Year’s Eve, balloons would drop and a vintage plane would fly through the arena at midnight, but… Continue reading Dead & Company | Chase Center | 12/30/19

Billy Strings | Ogden Theatre | December 2019

It takes a hell of a lot to get me to brave the absolute sardine-pack that is a sold-out Ogden Theatre in Denver for 3 consecutive nights. There are very few bands that would warrant something like that but Billy Strings is up there at the top of the shortlist.  Over the course of a… Continue reading Billy Strings | Ogden Theatre | December 2019
