Equipped with water, sunglasses, comfortable shoes and a positive attitude I was ready to take on Edgefest this past weekend. I forgot sun block, so aside from some awesome show memories and some shocking interview stories, I have some wicked sunburns as souvenirs. We bee-lined it for the side stage upon arrival for Acres of Lions’ [...] Read More

102.1 The Edge and Union Events is keeping your summer busy with yet another great outdoor show! Sublime with Rome–part Sublime, part Rome Ramirez–is playing our great city for the first time since 2010, and they’re pulling out all the stops for a solid show.  Supporting the band are Pepper, The Wailers, and your very [...] Read More

Pop-rock licks and catchy rhythms are the makings for a solid foundation of Fade Chromatic’s 5-track Self-Titled album. Something needs to be said about a band that is admittedly of a pop-rock genre in a city that’s dominated (or in some cases, infested with) indie/hipster rockers.

While they were having a quick bite to eat with friends at the Choo Choo Diner before sound-checking for the show at the Phoenix The Elwins were nice enough to let me invade their dinner to ask them a few questions. We discussed their latest album release, musical collaborations and their quirky promo vids. These guys [...] Read More

This was my third time seeing The Elwins play. I always have a great time at their shows. The level of skill in their musicianship is unmatched by any other band within their class, which allows them to play in with a relaxed, friendly demeanor that makes them all the more likeable. Don’t get me [...] Read More
