New York didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet for Peach Pit and Briston Maroney’s two-night run at Pier 17. But it might’ve done something better. On the second night of their co-headlining stop, the storm clouds from night one lingered just long enough to throw some drama into the mix, delivering a kind of divine backdrop that no lighting rig could replicate

On May 21, Samia brought her “Bloodless Tour” to Boston’s House of Blues, delivering a performance that blended intimacy with a bit of indie-pop flair.

Known predominantly for her meteoric rise on TikTok, Antone made it abundantly clear that her artistry translates impressively from screen to stage.

On a Monday night that felt more like a Saturday, Boston’s House of Blues was packed wall-to-wall for FLO’s “Access All Areas” tour. In five years here in Boston, I’ve never seen a line stretch that far down Lansdowne Street (and even spilling over onto Brookline Avenue a good bit). The energy inside matched the anticipation outside, a fully sold-out crowd ready for a night of R&B and partying. 

Two decades after her breakout, JoJo proves she’s not just still here. She’s thriving, and finally calling the shots.

Last Saturday evening, March 22nd, Brighton Music Hall was more packed than I’ve ever seen it.

Turns out, I was in for a treat in what turned out to be my favorite show of the year so far. 

Boston’s House of Blues has been facing some stiff competition since MGM Music Hall opened just down the street, but Thursday night’s show was a reminder of why this venue remains a cornerstone of the city’s music scene.

After a five-year hiatus from live performance, Cyn returned to the stage on January 15, 2025, transforming Mercury Lounge into an intimate celebration that felt more like a homecoming than a comeback.

For a band known for their high-energy shows with an eight-piece lineup, Lawrence demonstrated the versatility of their songwriting with two stripped-down New Year's Eve performances at City Winery NYC.

On December 13, 2024, Lake Street Dive returned to their musical roots, delivering a show at MGM Music Hall that demonstrated both how far they’ve come and why Boston remains special to them, while making sure everyone in the venue stayed on their feet dancing through the show.

In what felt like a homecoming of sorts, Sammy Rae & The Friends kicked off their two-night stand at Boston's Roadrunner on November 15th. For Rae, who got her start in Boston's local scene and regularly packed venues like The Sinclair during her rise, this return came with the added triumph of supporting their long-anticipated debut album, "Something for Everybody."

In their debut EP, “Dream Girl,” Nashville-based trio Moody Joody crafts a glittering synth-pop journey that feels like a midnight drive through the complexities of modern existence. The six-track collection, helmed by dual frontwomen Kayla Hall and Kaitie Forbes alongside producer Andrew Pacheco, masterfully balances euphoric dream pop with raw vulnerability, creating an instantly memorable sonic landscape.

Before embarking on this tour, Misterwives shared a message that set the tone for these shows: "It has been the biggest privilege of our lives to tour together for over a decade straight and while this isn't goodbye, this is the last tour we will be doing for a while." That bittersweet announcement made their Halloween eve performance at Boston's House of Blues feel all the more special.

Boston may be better known for its punk rock basements and indie clubs than twangy tunes, but you wouldn't know it from the packed house at the House of Blues last night. The Dead South, Saskatchewan's premier progressive bluegrass outfit, turned the venue into a proper hoedown, proving that good music knows no geographic bounds.

On October 17, 2024, Maggie Rogers made a triumphant return to Boston, captivating a sold-out crowd at TD Garden. The concert wasn't just a performance; it was a homecoming celebration for an artist who has rapidly ascended from intimate venues to arena-filling stardom in just five years since her debut album.
