2020 | Steve’s Best of the Year

What. Thefuck. Wasthat? Whatever it was, we made it to the end of 2020 and boy it couldn’t come soon enough. I, for one, can’t wait to bathe in the waters of a New Year like it will bring absolute resolution to all the crap that has been going down in our world. Will that happen? Who knows. But, at this point, any glimmer of hope is one that I’ll hang onto. To say 2020 was a strange one is no novel statement. There were times when I turned to music to get me through each passing moment and there…

Photos + Review | Blake Mills @ The Sinclair

Photos by Boston Concert Photography [I]f it was ever apparent to anyone that a specific person belonged on a stage, behind their instrument, showing to the world and everyone who will listen that they love what they get to do it is Blake Mills. The wunderkind guitar phenom, who thrilled me with his last album, Break Mirrors, and delighted with his most recent effort, Heigh Ho, has been curiously absent from playing here in Boston. Understandably, he’s busy being a session guitarist for amazing talents from all over, and didn’t tour exclusively for his debut album, we were so goddamn…

Review + Photos | Fiona Apple + Blake Mills @ The Colonial Theater (BOS)

Photos by Boston Concert Photography [O]n a cold evening in fall in Boston, as the lights from the Fenway Park lit up for the World Series, the real show was going on on the other side of the city as an evening with Fiona Apple & Blake Mills warmed the crowd’s spirits. This being my first time seeing Fiona Apple, I wasn’t all that familiar with the deeper side of her catalog, but I knew exactly what I’d be getting with Blake Mills. As with what had happened a few weeks back with Fiona & the crowd in Portland, there…

Review | Fiona Apple – The Idler Wheel…

[7] years! A lot has happened in the past 7 years that could make an artist not want to come back to the spotlight, especially since that spotlight was never really the goal, all things considered.  That being said, it is the perfect time for Fiona Apple to release her 4th album, The Idler Wheel is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More  than Ropes Will Ever Do.  You have to be able to back a title like that up with music that packs a punch, and Fiona has that ability in spades.…

Welcome Fiona back with the first of those tracks to be released is “Every Single Night,” a tender lullaby, dream-like song that wonderfully displays her supreme vocal talent. Look for her new album, June 19th
