Concert Review: Brad Paisley with The Band Perry, Scotty McCreery

Review: A Day To Remember & Rise Against, Lawn at White River State Park


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. …

Concert Review: The Maine, Lydia and Arkells


We were fortunate enough to have more than one writer attend The Maine, Lydia, and Arkells show this past week. The best part about that happening is allowing more than one perspective to come through. I walked into this show with no expectations what so ever. I was anxious to see the new room at …

Review: The Maine, Deluxe at Old National Centre


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

Country Music Expo – Day 1


Contrary to popular belief, country music is not just working on the farm, loving or losing your wife and drinking a lot of whiskey.  No, this past weekend (April 28-29) I learned country music is also jumping on top of pianos, tap dancing and holding up your Coors Light to “cheers” to a good time. …

“Fiddler on the Roof” at Murat Theatre: A Review


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, …
