I'm a big live music fan, as evidenced by my love of websites for finding live music near me and my dislike of tech-related distractions like texting during shows. While at a concert last week, I stood behind the most impressive sound and lighting boards that I have ever seen! The lighting computers on the left were operated with touchscreens. There were at least eight different screens, and Read more
For the past four years, the Hotel Cafe Tour has practically been a required gig for musicians on the road to breakout success (coincidentally, that same road often includes stops on shows like Grey's Anatomy and Gossip Girl, and, of course, Old Navy commercials). This year is unique because it's the first time the tour will have an entirely female lineup, sort of like a Lilith Fair for a new Read more
Last week, while I was enjoying vacation time in Spain, I ended up planning a party. Actually it was a concert for the rock group, Cargados Band. A concert was scheduled, but I realized that the all male group was in desperate need of an event planner, personal assistant, and organizer. The first thing on my list of things to do: make a flyer announcing the concert. To see how I turned a photo Read more
Beyoncé gave a one-of-kind performance in Orlando, Florida last night. She took the stage and hit the ground falling. It happens, but girlfriend gets points for her recovery. You know that fall had to hurt, and perhaps that explains all the head banging and hair thrashing that follows after the tumble...wtf?! Read more

I'm going to a big outdoor show this month and I was hoping you could inspire some cool and dance-ready looks. Read more

YumSugar and I had the pleasure of seeing Arcade Fire play this weekend at the Greek Theatre on the UC Berkeley campus. Though I've been to more than my fair share of concerts, I can safely say, without hyperbole, that the Arcade Fire was truly unlike any band I've ever seen live. While other indie-rock bands use orchestral instruments like accessories, the Arcade Fire is, essentially, an Read more
Little Hunter Hayes with his crawfish emblazoned accordion performs a rousing rendition of "Jambalaya." Just ignore the bikini-clad, trucker hat wearing, Confederate Flag waving yahoos in the audience who almost ruin the fun. Read more
If you're a Wilco fan in Charlottesville, Virginia, tonight, you're probably going to the Jeff Tweedy solo show at the Paramount Theatre. The rest of us are also in luck, because Wilcoworld will be airing a live webcast of the concert tonight starting at 9 p.m. Eastern time. I've seen Tweedy play solo on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. He pulls material from so many Read more
