I couldn’t pick just one show for this week’s Show of the Week, so I went out on a rebellious limb and picked two! Right off the top before we get to those shows, you should know that Stephen Stills at the Kent Stage on Friday night is completely sold out (EDIT: Good news – […]

New live album on the way from Jackson Browne & David Lindley
You’ll either wince or smile at the words “new live album” and “Jackson Browne” in the same sentence. For me personally, I’m happy that Jackson is starting to dig around in the vaults with some of his recent releases. During an interview last week on Nicole Sandler’s Radio or Not program, Browne revealed the news […]
Speaking of The Coliseum…
Without question, The Coliseum at Richfield was one of my favorite concert venues growing up. When it was announced that it would close, to be replaced by Gund Arena, I was very unhappy (to put it mildly). To close down a legendary venue that was barely 20 years old, and call it outdated, it was […]
Crossroads: Sold Out!

R.I.P.: Doug Fieger of The Knack
Sad news: Doug Fieger, founding member/vocalist for The Knack, passed away over the weekend after a six year battle with cancer. I never saw The Knack personally, but every time I think of the band, inevitably my mind drifts to the following moment in Reality Bites (this would be a good time for a small […]

Eric Clapton announces Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010
This year was looking like it might be the first one in a while to be festival-free on my concert schedule. After attending on average, 3-4 festivals each year for the past few years, my cranky concert going self was telling me that it might be time for a break. But I didn’t count on […]

Their former Beantown neighbors Pretty & Nice will be in town for a show at Case Western, and they’ve convinced the band […]
