Sam Smith Thrills Minnesota Once Again
Sam Smith’s last appearance in Minnesota was in early 2015 when he performed at the legendary Roy Wilkin’s Auditorium on his “In the Lonely Hour” tour.

The Route 47 Pub and Grub – The Iron Maidens
We got to Route 47 Pub and Grub about 90 minutes before the first band was due onstage. If you have ever been to this place, then you know if you want a table for the night you’d better get there early. A little food (by the way, the burgers were excellent) and partaking in […] More
WE Fest Brings Back Country Roots
WE Fest is a wonderful place to listen to great music, meet new people and make lasting memories with friends. That is why I was excited to enjoy my fourth weekend at WeFest on August 1st – 4th, 2018. This festival is more than just country music to me. It feels like home. I grew up […] More
ON THE RADAR: An In-Depth Look into Fires of Denmark’s Album “With Love” + Concert Review
Fires of Denmark’s first full-length album With Love is an expressive gem that doesn’t back down from yelling emotion, heavy distortion & guitars, and a variety of fascinating musical solos, all while being fairly slow and in the moment. This album feels and it isn’t afraid to be a little vulnerable, despite its alternative vibe. […] More
Jay Z and Beyonce Bring “On The Run II” To Minneapolis
On a warm, humid, Minneapolis summer, the On The Run II Tour came to US Bank Stadium. There are not many places in Minnesota that this massive tour could have been properly executed. The sheer size of the stage was incredible, stretching from one side of the stadium to the other and was four stories […] More

GG Magree and the “Deadbeats” arrive in Minneapolis
Last week, I was surprised by an unexpected Instagram DM from music producer and DJ, GG Magree, of Sydney, Australia. Her request was for me to shoot her upcoming set in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the international “DEADBEATS TOUR” on Friday, August 3rd. I promptly replied to her saying, “I’d love to” and with that, the […] More
A Rainy & Chilly Day at HazelFest
Four years ago, I was at a terrible place in my life, refusing to accept that I had a problem with alcohol and drugs. In an effort to help, my parents took me Hazelden Betty Ford Center in Plymouth, Minnesota. This treatment facility completely changed my life and taught me what addiction is. I understood why […] More

Clairo Casts A Spell In Sold Out Show At 7th Street Entry
Millenial diety Clairo sold out 7th Street Entry in a matter of days. Whoever booked that show likely underestimated the fervor of teen adoration. The teenage girls that lined up by 3pm for the 6pm show were excited to get polaroid photos with the bedroom pop singer, forking over birthday money for their brief meet-and-greet […] More
Deafheaven Rocks the Cedar
There’s no way around it- Minneapolis’ beloved Cedar Cultural Center looks a tad like a high school gymnasium. It’s part of its charm. It can also be a drawback, which is why it’s up to the performers to outshine the quaint—and at times awkward—setting, packing a serious punch, even on such a low stage. Brooklyn […] More
ON THE RADAR: Good Morning Bedlam Releases “Like Kings” & Captivates Audience at Release Show.
Good Morning Bedlam is certainly a force on the folk scene in Minneapolis. It’s difficult to refer to them as merely ‘folk,’ as they play faster and more eclectic than any folk band I’ve heard. They could be called bluegrass or, as others have referred to them, “furious folk.” But they seem to always be […] More
