This was my 2nd time to see Judah and the Lion. I first saw them a few years ago when they opened up for Twenty One Pilots. The energy brought to the stage back then made me an instant fan. I had heard their song Suit and Jacket on Alt Nation but had no idea what to expect with a live show. Just as before they did not fail to put on an amazing show Friday night at Farm Bureau Lawn. You cannot help but jump around as they sing. They sang Say it Ain’t so by Blink 182 and had th

Back in the mid 90's I was traveling at break neck speed to make it to a local amphitheater to see Blues Traveler. My whole life, as it seemed, hinged on making it to Deer Creek Music Theatre to see The Black Crowes and Blues Traveler. There was a terrible thunderstorm that night but it would not deter me from this show. At the time I was blown away by this bill of two herculean acts. These bands were in their prime and playing seemingly endless hits that night. My recollect

Although my musical horizons have been expanding recently, I had honestly never heard of surf pop or cosmic indie surf before I heard Bikini Trill in support of 311 and Dirty Heads at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center. You know what, though? I like it! A lot! Bikini Trill’s sound is kind of hard to describe, but cosmic indie surf is actually pretty accurate. And I’m 100% sure that it’s related to the reason the gates for this show opened at 4:20 PM. Bikini Trill’s lead singer

Sunday, June 16, Young the Giant, touring with Fitz and the Tantrums, and COIN followed through with a re-located Father's Day concert in Indianapolis. The concert was originally scheduled at the Farm Bureau Lawn at the White River downtown Indianapolis, nestled between the Indianapolis Zoo and the MLB Pirates farm team, the Indianapolis Indians. Due to the threat of weather, the concert was moved north of Indianapolis to Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center, Indiana's premiere

I met up with Richie from States and Capitals behind The Irving Theater in Indianapolis Indiana to discuss the bands upcoming LP and a few other things. The bands tour manager, Peyton, was helping get all of the equipment together with the bass player James and the drummer Steve along with Richie. The band had just finished up their set when I caught up with them. The wind was blowing really hard and there were a few raindrops falling on us throughout the interview. A car ala

I had the pleasure of listening to the debut album The Feelings LP by States and Capitals. It is scheduled for release by JIRNY on August 2, 2019. The LP is a follow up to three earlier released EP’s. The 22-year-old singer/songwriter Richie Arthur brings a lot of thought-provoking lyrics to life. The very well written lyrics remind me a lot of Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Daniel Powter, and even a little bit of Dave Matthews. There was an overall theme of finding love and holdi

The first time I saw Sam Law Band perform they were an opening act for the great Lou Gramm of Foreigner fame. It was an early set and there was an impending storm on the horizon. I was impressed. This band had a unique sound and very nice stage presence. After the show they were at their merchandise tent and surprised that I asked for their autograph. I love talented bands and for me I don't discriminate on whether a band is known worldwide or a local talent. Fast forward a f

YTG's most recent release Mirror Master sets the path for an energetic and thoughtful tour. Their highly anticipated return will see the band venturing through Indianapolis on October 26th performing in the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre. Surely they will be playing their classics "Cough Syrup" and "Apartment" (one of my personal favorites). But new and old fans alike will be thrilled with selections such as "Simplify". I can attest to the bands love of stage. They pres
