Frank Turner brought the house down at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on May 7 and we were there to catch the magic. Frank has an incredibly strong fanbase in Boston. The people that attend his shows every time have formed a community within these shows.

It’s amazing to see the power in Frank’s music– whether it be his dynamic lyrics, punching choruses, or his and the Sleeping Souls’ live performance. It is really something special to see. …Especially in…

There are some artists that simply strike you more than others. For me—when it comes to photography especially—one of those artists are the lovely folks in David Wax Museum. Last Thursday night, David Wax and Suz Slezak took to the stage at Arts at the Armory with a fantastically talented band of musicians to celebrate the release of their newest release You Must Change Your Life which, according to David and Suz, is the album they’ve been waiting to make for the last ten years.

They say pictures are worth a thousand words, and that may be true, but pictures can’t always capture a perfect vibe. And a perfect vibe is exactly what Hermanos Gutiérrez brought to Arts at the Armory. Touring behind the newly released “El Bueno Y El Malo“—which was produced by the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach at his Easy Eye Sound Studios—brothers Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez have low-key been making a lot of noise. Per the brothers, the title of the album is a reference to Sergio Leone’s legendary 1966 spaghetti western The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and especially its…

That was an evening that will be talked about for a very long time. For the first time in what seems like an eternity, Lucius brought their incredible talents and their just-as-incredible production to the Boston area with a Friday night show at our new favorite venue, Roadrunner. From the opening notes, as they danced their way on stage, it was clear Jess and Holly would leave nothing on the table. Smoke machines, an incredible light show, glittery, feathery fashion, and not one, but TWO KEYTARS. Perhaps the only thing that matched Lucius’s energy and passion was the best-dressed crowd…
