When Toots & The Maytals took the stage at House Of Blues in Chicago on April 4th, the packed house let the band’s powerful reggae grooves wash over them.  But many in the crowd, as well as Toots, realize that reggae legends at huge clubs like HoB are disappointingly one of the only options for [...]

It’s always nice to see a local band on the rise.  Brown Bag recently made their headlining debut at one of our favorite venues in the city: Martyrs. The night opened with the psychedelic folk song titled “Shaky Memory” featuring keyboardist Michael Ellis as well as some “special guest” backup singers, who were featured to [...]

Check the complete setlist and videos here or download a the entire show from [...]

We are grateful to have this incredible photo set and a few thoughts contributed by Adam Miszewski Photography, expanding our reach just slightly north to Wisconsin.  Here’s what Adam had to say about the show… Moe at the Pabst Theater was great. It was the first time they have played the Pabst and the sound [...]

The stars came out to shine once again on Friday at The Abbey Pub and it proved to be another well documented event.  We are pleased to be able to feature a substantial photo set from Mike Kaiz Photojournalism as well as a 5 song, 33 minute video playlist shot by Charles Izenstark, to recap [...]
