Concert Review - The Police - July 6, 2007 - Wrigley FIeld

Concert Review - My Morning Jacket - December 4th, 2006 - House of Blues Cleveland

The My Morning Jacket show just furthered the thought that 2006 may end up going down as one of my best, if not my best year of concerts.  My Morning Jacket will join The Flaming Lips a...

Concert Review - The Decemberists - Agora - November 9, 2006

Concert Review: The Reverend Horton Heat - House of Blues - Cleveland - November 2, 2006

My friend Evan and I braved the long commute down the block to the Cleveland House of Blues to check out The Reverend Horton Heat.  It was probably the 15th or so time that I've seen The Rev live...
