Go Fest 19 Recap: Go 96.3 Proves Again Why They Are the Best at What They Do
One sort of fun thing about working in the music industry is attending events as an attendee that you’ve worked on behind-the-scenes in the past. Generally speaking, members of the media have a much better idea than a normal person about the amount of work it takes to make something like Go 96.3’s ‘Go Fest’ […] More

Melodic surf-punk trio Last Import have just completed their first multi-state tour, which featured incidents of celebrity encounters, a robbery, and an outpouring of love from their community of fans and family.

John Chuck & The Class Celebrate ‘June’ With DENNY & Dwynell Roland at The Entry
Over the last seven months, I’ve had the opportunity to see the Minneapolis hip-hop duo John Chuck & The Class perform a number of times. Each time, they were brought on to support a different headliner, from Last Import’s album release show & K.Flay’s intimate performance at The Entry earlier this year to an opening […] More

Uncle Kracker Crazy Fun At Wild Greg’s Saloon
It’s my 1st time making it to the semi-new Wild Greg’s Saloon in Downtown Minneapolis. It was a fun, crazy, and busy place as Uncle Kracker filled Greg’s up for his sold-out show. Lucky for us, we got Erin Grand, The Midwest CMA’s 2018 Female Of The Year, to kick off the night. We got […] More

Sammy Hagar The Best Of Two Worlds
The season-opening night for Mystic Lake’s Amphitheater featured two big names from the ’80s stage: Sammy Hagar and Vince Neil. Motley Crue always has been my favorite band. Now, with that being said, everyone has known for years Vince Neil hasn’t been at the top of his game. Vince’s show last night took it to […] More

Wallows Lights Up a Sold-Out Fine Line
There’s something that feels inherently wrong about watching a headlining performance while sunlight pours in through the ceiling skylights of the concert venue. Aside from festivals and block parties, concerts are supposed to be a late night venture. However, when you attend an all-ages show for a band whose fan base will likely be studying […] More

Triumphant Return For Pink On Beautiful Trauma Tour
Three, that should be P!nk’s magic number on her third time here in 15 months. This time no Super Bowl, no colds, just a happy and 100% healthy Pink, giving it her all for a sold-out show at the Xcel Energy Center. It was a night of death-defying acrobatics, pyrotechnics and choreographed dancing from one […] More

Jai Wolf Brings Beautiful Production to the Skyway
There was a slow build to the entire show. Music built in tempo and intensity throughout the show until he’d worked the crowd into a frenzy where the heavier, whompy sounds were more than welcome. More

Snoop Dogg – Smokes Out Treasure Island On Puff Puff Pass Tour
Welcome back to the 90s! Treasure Island brought in Snoop Dogg, one of (if not) the most famous rappers of all time from rap’s most dominant era… The 90s. The show started out with a big thud. Finally, after a little more than an hour of having the DJ on stage spin music that seemed […] More

So, Your Band Sucks, Now What?
Okay, so you’re in a band. You’ve rounded up your most talented (or, at least, most available) friends, bought a ton of gear, rented a practice space, decked out your facebook fan page, and played enough shows that your circle of acquaintances has stopped showing up. You’ve been killing it for over a month and […] More

Billy Currington Kicks Off Stay Up ‘Til The Sun Tour At Verizon Center Mankato
I’ve seen Billy Currington a total of 4 times (including tonight). The Verizon Center in Mankato, Minnesota, which holds approximately 2,000 screaming fans, is easily the smallest arena I’ve seen him play. The performance was a great way for him to warm-up and kick off the Stay Up ‘Til The Sun Tour. Just one problem…that […] More
