interesting times

with the whole COVID pandemeic and state of emergency restrictions, there are not a lot of live music performances to review right now, but when live music is back, we'll be back.

in the meantime, we are rolling out our "From The Vault" series in which we'll republish some of our older reviews, annotated with reflections and recollections about the event. Join us at The Vault to go back to the days when live bands toured the earth.

Covid Restrictions & Photo Reviews
2021 has been a year of on again off again restrictions due to the ongoing Covid pandemic. In an effort to keep our music community connected, we have instituted a series of what we are calling "photo reviews". Generally speaking, they consist of a handful of photos of local artists and bands, along with a few short paragraphs about the performance. They can be found on our Photo Reviews page.
