Album Review: Found Heaven
In my experience, there are very few things better than listening to a brand new album from top to bottom and realizing that you haven’t had to skip a single song. Magical, right? For me, it’s a rare phenomenon nowadays and I’ve grown used to passing off numbers of tracks as just “eh.” Now that I write that out, I sound like a real goody two shoes. I promise I’m just picky.

Live In Concert: Stephen Sanchez
Stephen has been on my concert bucket list from the moment I discovered he was touring with his debut album, Angel Face, which was released late September of 2023.

Live In Concert: Maisie Peters

Live In Concert: Greta Van Fleet
Our road to Greta Van Fleet on Tuesday night was not an easy one. This concert took place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, a venue that seats 21,000 people, which GVF sold out.
