The good news is that a bunch of really great guitar players will be in Akron tomorrow night. The bad news is that if you don’t have tickets already, you’re probably out of luck. Live Nation Cleveland just announced that the Experience Hendrix show happening on Tuesday night at the Akron Civic, is sold out. […]

The English Beat are still touring in 2010? Believe it or not, YES! This version of the seminal British 2 Tone Ska revival band includes […]

Maybe you can hire….The A-Team
I pity the fool who misses out on the best DVD box set release EVER. (Yes, that’s the actual packaging.)
The Genesis of Phish and the Glory of The Stooges
Phil Collins called it “a convincing argument,” and while he might have been referring to Trey Anastasio’s introductory speech, the same could easily be applied to the performance of “Watcher of the Skies” by Phish. A “convincing argument,” as in, let’s get those discussions rolling and finally do that reunion with Peter Gabriel. The moment […]
Show of the Week: John Oates at The Kent Stage
Friends, I’ll have to admit that I broke my own rules. Last week, I told you about a super-bitchin’ show of the week featuring The Brought Low and The Suede Brothers, playing at Nemeth’s in Painesville. And then when Saturday night rolled around, I missed it. “Friends don’t let friends miss The Suede Brothers.” Unless […]
Stream This: Dave Brubeck at the 2009 Newport Jazz Festival
There really isn’t enough time to listen to all of the audio/video goodness floating around out there on the world wide web. Here’s some more proof of that. While working on a future Ticket Stub column for Popdose, I came across streaming audio courtesy of NPR, featuring Dave Brubeck’s entire performance at the 2009 Newport […]
Great interview with producer Steve Lillywhite

These are the guys that you don’t read about nearly enough, for all of the cool things that they’ve done, and all of the legendary albums that they’ve been a part of. This interview with producer […]
Show of the Week: The Brought Low & The Suede Brothers
It’s not often that Cleveland is blessed with a concert appearance by any one of the many great rock and roll bands on the Detroit-based Small Stone Records label. (We’re not counting Cleveland’s own Red Giant – besides, even those rock dudes need to play more Clevo shows!) Saturday night, prepare yourself for a brutal […]
We’re everything your parents ever warned you about….
While looking over the Scene concert announcements for this week, one show jumped out at me. No, it wasn’t Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (playing Blossom this summer) or the announcement of Elton John’s first appearance in Youngstown. The Godz and Angel are coming to Lakewood, Ohio. They’ll be at The Breakfast Club (formerly The […]
