Alternative radio station 96.5 The Buzz hosted a hell of a party at Buzz Beach Ball. The annual summer festival returned to Sporting KC Park, bringing along a mountain of sand and a killer lineup for the 2015 show. All of the bands put on great performances – Glass Animals, Misterwives and Alt-J being some... Continue Reading →
A small collection fans, musicians and hair-dressers gathered around The Riot Room bar on Saturday, May 2, sipping their beers and chatting while the opening band set up at the stage. It was a gorgeous day in Kansas City and all doors were open to the warm air, spring sunset and any wanderers stumbling down... Continue Reading →
What a difference a couple of years can make. The last time I saw this Kodaline, it was in a tiny bar in Fort Worth and there were maybe ten people, but this night they played to a full house with two albums of material to play.

The Last Bison is an up and coming, seven member group out of Virginia. I have spent the last week streaming their entire catalog on Spotify and I feel like the best way to describe their music is "the perfect soundtrack for sitting next to campfire in the woods on a starry night."

The best way to experience music at SXSW is to get lost. Have a few drinks, wander the streets of Austin, pick a random bar and just stay for awhile. You really can't go wrong. The music is specially curated so it is very rare you'll ever find a band that is just awful. There... Continue Reading →
Tuesday, January 20th Downtown Dallas. The City Tavern was hopping, and I don't mean that as a figure of speech. There were so many people packed dancing to Oklahoma band Broncho that the wall and floors were bouncing. I had never heard their music and only did a quick listen before I went to the...
