It’s been three years since Hurt released their 5th studio album, Goodbye to the Machine, and after a slow process of writing and recording, the Virginia-native band released their 6th, The Crux, last week. I personally haven’t heard much from them since their 2006 and 2007 albums, Vol. I and Vol. II… I’m not sure …
I’m gonna be honest with you: When my editor requested I write a story about a country music minister, I was less than thrilled with the assignment. I’ve never really had an interest in country music, and I’ve also been estranged from any sort of religion for over 10 years. But as soon as I …
A piece of advice: Don’t expect to make it to a concert on time at Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn at White River State Park on a Friday evening in rush hour traffic. I don’t know what was happening this past Friday night in downtown Indianapolis, but I was stopped in southbound traffic on West St. …

Tuesday in Indianapolis began with rain, thunder, lightning, and tornado warnings in epic proportion.

I have a confession: I was raised on Garth Brooks and musical theater. My mom spent many weekends transporting my sister and I to many shows by the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and also the Evansville Children’s Theater. One time, she drove us 3 hours away from home to the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, MO, …
With all the upcoming spring and summer tour announcements being made lately, I’m really starting to get excited for this concert season. So, I did a little “Googling” today, researching possible musical extravaganzas to add to my personal concert calendar, and I came across Rock on the Range. I almost jumped out of my seat (in …
