Concert Review: Norah Jones Shines at the Murat

Concert Review: Norah Jones Shines at the Murat
Norah Jones’ talent has never been in question, and she proved why with an outstanding performance at the Murat Theatre on Saturday night. The audience was so diverse and her performance was so unique and eclectic, that even the pickiest ears were pleased with the sounds delivered. Much of the concert was devoted to her most recent album “The Fall”, but she threw in a lot of different... 

Concert Review: Chevelle at the Murat Egyptian Room – Guest writer Laura Mittler

Concert Review: Chevelle at the Murat Egyptian Room - Guest writer Laura Mittler
Chevelle Concert Review Murat Egyptian Room, Indianapolis, IN February 19th, 2010 Having been a die-hard fan for a greater part of the last decade, I would be kidding myself to pretend that I could write a totally unbiased review of my very first Chevelle concert.  After an unfortunate tardiness to Mayday 2007 in Noblesville (where Chevelle was the first act) caused me to miss the band I had... 

Concert Review: The Avett Brothers…Unbelievable.

Concert Review: The Avett Brothers...Unbelievable.
Well, well, well…Indianapolis, I stand corrected. The show this past Sunday was not made up of screaming teenagers, but rather mature adults enjoying terrific tunes.  There were also people singing the words to nearly every song the Avett Brothers sang, no matter how old it was. So there ya know, you never know until you’re there and I admit, my bad Indy, my bad. I must say, it was a beautiful... 

Indianapolis Concert Review: Gretchen Wilson at 8 Seconds Saloon

Indianapolis Concert Review: Gretchen Wilson at 8 Seconds Saloon
She started the day off early in Indianapolis. Before she could go on stage and do what she does best she was busy being a co-host. That’s right Gretchen Wilson was the celebrity co-host on the Wank & O’Brien Morning Show on 97.1 HANK FM. Indiana’s First Lady, Cheri Daniels, was also in studio more than likely to meet Gretchen. Mrs. Daniels hasn’t been shy to admit she likes country music...

Indianapolis Concert Review: Darkstar Orchestra, Murat, February 12, 2010

Indianapolis Concert Review: Darkstar Orchestra, Murat, February 12, 2010
Darkstar Orchestra, Murat Theater, Indianapolis, Feb 12 Darkstar Orchestra was a great time Friday night at the Murat Theater.  It had been several years since I last saw them in Chicago, and they didn’t disappoint me in this Indianapolis concert venue. For those of you who don’t know about Darkstar Orchestra, what they do is recreate actual shows from the Grateful Dead’s 30-plus years...

Concert Review: Breaking Benjamin and Sick Puppies at The Murat Indianapolis

Concert Review: Breaking Benjamin and Sick Puppies at The Murat Indianapolis
In previous experiences the majority of massively popular bands on the radio usually suck live. I am happy to report that today was not one of those days. I have heard Sick Puppies and Breaking Benjamin on the radio and well I liked what I heard. With most of your popularradio bands it is pretty normal for them to not sound the same when they are live. There is a lot of work put into recording... 

Tracy Lawrence at the 8 Seconds Saloon

Tracy Lawrence at the 8 Seconds Saloon
Being from a small town in southern Indiana, it is no surprise that I grew up listening to country music.  Over the years, I have come to love the genre of music and call guys like Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson some of the best musicians of all time. One of the guys that I came to practically obsess with has been singing now for over twenty years. He has had eighteen number one hits, runs his own...
