Can there be a better way to welcome Spring and April, AND celebrate (or commiserate, depending on your brackets) the end of the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four, than by sitting back in the cool grass of White River State Park with your friends and the music of the Goo Goo Dolls and LL Cool J?! The Goo Goo Dolls, formed in 1987, have released 9 albums, won 2 Grammys, and have gone platinum... 

Now, I won’t even lie about it. At first glance, I thought “Bryan who?” Upon quick and accurate research (thank you wikipedia) I realized I did, in fact, know exactly who Bryan Adams was. Born in Canada, the singer-songwriter also has accolades as a social activist and photographer. His work has been published in Vogue, Harper’s Bazar and Vanity Fair, and he has worked with...

Chris Brown fans know that his career ultimately halted on a dime after the whole Rihanna ‘incident’ in 2009. Brown plead guilty to felony assulat and is now on probation for 5 years. His public image, though, has not improved, despite his (and his publicists’) best efforts to prove to the world that he’s a changed man. The 20-year-old singing and dancing phenom’s career... 

Okay, I have to admit that until this past January, I had no idea who Jimi Hendrix was. This semester, in order to fulfill a degree requirement, I took a class on “The Music of Jimi Hendrix” and it has proven to be one of the best classes I’ve ever taken! In the mid-60′s audio engineer and producer Eddie Kramer worked on several of Hendrix’s albums including the first,...

This year, the lineup is as follows Apocalyptica Halestorm Bullet for My Valentine Cage the Elephant Puddle of Mud Three Days Grace The show will take place on Saturday, May... 

For me, the appeal of music isn’t the beat or the head-bang factor in a club. For me, the artistry comes from the lyrics. This is why Coldplay is one of my absolute favorite artists, along with Death Cab, Postal Service and similar bands that express soul through their lyrics rather than spitting out just another catchy beat. What makes the lyrics even more touching is when you know that the group... 

Jack’s Mannequin will be performing at the Murat TONIGHT! The group consists of Andrew McMahon on vocals/piano, Raw Anderson on guitar, Jon Sullivan on bass and Jay McMillan on drums.

Most music/film fans know that you usually have to take whatever a celebrity says with a grain of salt. Hollywood is a glamorized version of high school where you never know whether the celeb is saying what they want/think, or just regurgitating a piece written by their PRs. Twitter, though, is revolutionary. It gives celebrities the power to say whatever they want, stupid or not, within moments-before...
