Van Halen’s Best Songs
Let’s be honest, Van Halen is the band we knew and loved in the seventies and eighties. We’re talking, Diamond Dave, Alex and Eddie and Michael Anthony. All of the other incarnations were weak imitations of the real thing, including the most recent lineup without Anthony. There have been many rumors the last week or…

Berlin’s Terri Nunn
Terri Nunn is the voice of the grossly underrated rock band Berlin. She has produced a crazy, large body of work from her time as an actress, to belting the signature song from the Tom Cruise, behemoth of a movie Top Gun. She has been keeping the Berlin fire warm touring with her own version…

Richard Patrick: Filter
One of the most interesting interviewees ever. I could talk to Richard Patrick for ever. We recently caught up with Filter’s frontman Richard Patrick as he readied for his sound check backstage in New York’s Gramercy Theatre. He’s an amazing talent, and a guy who never hesitates to share an opinion. Over our thirty minutes,…

The Interrupters – Kevin Bivona
We carved out a little space in the press tent and had a fun, rambling chat about influences, the new record, brotherly dynamics, and the unofficial Fifth Interrupter.

Tuesday at The Opry
Performances by Whisperin’ Bill Anderson, Chris Janson, Ella Langley, John Pardi, Riders In The Sky, and Maggie Rose If you want to see music in Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium are like air and water, because they are necessities. I had a chance to visit the Ryman on January 29th and…

Plush Makes Great First Impression
We stumbled into a nice surprise on our way to Disturbed’s set in Orlando early this week. As is our typical M.O., we were scrambling to get to our seats in time to catch the opener, Plush. We entered at the wrong side of the newly named Kia Arena (nee Amway Center) and had to…

Best Bands of Festival – Welcome to Rockville 2024
I’m just coming down off the cloud that was the 2024 Welcome To Rockville Festival in Daytona. It’s one of the premiere hard rock celebrations on the planet, and a mainstay in Eastern Florida for the last decade. With well over 100 bands in the lineup, I try to balance my days with a mixture…

The Struts Deliver Vicious Show in Orlando
If you didn’t leave the venue brutally exhausted, with a hoarse voice, an aching body and ringing ears, you didn’t do your Struts show properly. The British band delivers an energetic set that feeds off of abundant audience participation. This is not a seated sedate experience, but more of a raucous house party with some…

Concert Review: Stick Figure Bring Smoke Signals to Florida
Destination Daytona, Ormond BeachJune 2022 A year ago, I had no idea who Stick Figure was. Today, I can’t stop playing their music and I love getting lost in their vibe. I’m a rocker, and I don’t stray off of that massive island of tunes often, but I had a good friend open my eyes…
