If you’re visiting Lewes, Delaware, making Lower Slower Delaware your vacation destination this summer, or if you’re a local resident, Rocking the Docks is the must-see music concert series in LSD this summer. The seaside venue is relaxed, the food and drink options are plentiful, and the grounds are expansive. There are amazing sunsets, and it all comes together for a perfect evening of outdoor fun and entertainment.

Havana, Illinois left its mark on Edward David Anderson (EDA) and he left his mark on Havana. His new, soon-to-be-released album, Still the River, reflects this relationship built over almost three and a half years. The time includes deeply engaging with West Central Illinois and the Illinois River and his daughter, Ella as her first four birthdays were celebrated there.

Carlos Santana made a stop on The Oneness Tour on Friday, June 28, at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati. The evening kicked off with support from The Counting Crows.

Folk Blues Bands are hard to place. Acoustic guitars backed by sensitive rhythm players hold the framework together. A voice like an old friend starts to weave a tale you feel could be your own when the steel guitar cuts into your mind, sending you to a happy place where the world makes sense.

Goose closed out another exhilarating summer tour last Sunday, June 30, 2024, at the Westville Music Bowl in New Haven, CT. This was their fifth performance, and perhaps their best, at one of the finest places in the Northeast to see live music outdoors. The band was reeling from a raging show in front of their largest crowd to date the prior night in Forest Hills, and this only synergized with the hometown venue excitement.

The old saying "records are made to be broken" fortifies the notion that any achievement, no matter how great, can be exceeded. That is exactly what Goose did in terms of ticket sales at Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, NY, on June 29, 2024, their relative home turf.

Dark Star Orchestra, the ultimate Grateful Dead experience, spent a little time on the mountain last night. The hills were alive with the sweet sounds of the Grateful Dead’s music at the majestic Mishawaka Amphitheatre. The band's triumphant return to the Poudre Canyon coincided with our nation's birthday, and believe me, it was the place to be.

We've said it many times: never miss a Goose Philly show. For some reason, they morph into superhuman musicians whenever they play in Philadelphia, PA. Their performance at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts last Friday, June 28, 2024, followed suit. The show included a pair of guest sit-ins and was Goose's biggest headlining show to date.

In an era where attention spans are often short, the ability to command a room for a full hour and then some is a skill possessed by a select few. Last night’s performance by Cage The Elephant at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium proved to be an elating and gripping culmination of the dedication Matt Shultz and company have given to their craft over the past several decades together.

Classic rock legend Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues brought his solo project to the historic Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara. The intimate venue, with near-perfect acoustics, just celebrated its 150th anniversary as California's oldest continuous performance hall. It was a fitting place for Hayward to perform his enthralling set.
