Laura Gibson and Stelth Ulvang Soothe The Entry
It was an uncharacteristically quiet night at First Avenue on Tuesday.

Happy Birthday Janis Joplin
This Saturday the 12-year tradition continues in golden style as we wish Janis Joplin a happy birthday, in a way only Minnesota artist Jill Mikelson and special guests Reed Grimm and Mae Simpson can do. The mystique of Janis Joplin has both captivated and haunted the souls of artists since her passing in 1970. Her […] More
A Good Basement Party: Buku At The Exchange
Buku’s Minneapolis performance on Thursday was another opportunity to dive back into the culture that has been growing on me. And what better place to do it than in the intimate confines of The Exchange? If you aren’t familiar with it, The Exchange is designed for DJs only. Technically, there is no elevated stage, but […] More
Jessica Pratt Warms Up First Avenue For Kurt Vile and The Violators
I’ve mentioned in a few of my previous articles that something I enjoy doing is experiencing an artist’s music for the first time in a live setting.

Subtle Beats Master John Grant Stops by Fine Line
Months of the year! Imaginary timelines developed to measure patterns throughout the year in prehistoric times. Since then, months have developed stereotypes of what expect from them.

Australia’s Middle Kids made a stop at the 7th Street Entry on a chilly December night. They played the same venue in 2017 on the heels of strong (and deserved) SXSW buzz. This time, though, they sold the place out. Rarely has a sold-out show at the Entry felt so packed. Middle Kids have been […] More

Brandi Carlile begins her three sold-out night Minneapolis residency at the majestic State Theater in support of her 2018 release, By the Way, I Forgive You.

Self-Proclaimed Heavy Metal Band Five Finger Death Punch Performs For a Sold-Out Target Center
Five Finger Death Punch has always struggled to be taken seriously in the world of heavy metal. Even after their first three albums were released to much commercial & critical acclaim, gaining a foothold in the notoriously elitist metal community was difficult for them. Many questioned Ivan Moody’s ability to write meaningful lyrics, claimed the […] More
Brother Ali Casts Shadow on First Ave
Forgetfulness! It’s a part of the daily struggle which we call life. The deed can be treated from a minor shoulder shrug example, “I forgot your personal belonging” to an I-wanna-poison-your-oatmeal example, “I have been on two dates with a girl, kissed her, and don’t remember her name.” Brother Ali’s Shadows of the Sun show was […] More

If you thought Bro-Country was dead, think again. Cole Swindell hit the stage at The Armory Thursday bringing Lauren Alaina and Dustin Lynch in support.
