When I arrived at the Shoreline Amphitheater last night in Mountain View, the security guard had warned me. “It’s Lauryn Hill. You know she’s gonna be late.” And sure enough, he was right. The iconic rapper/singer with the endearing smile and ageless looks was supposed to go on at 9 p.m. but ended up taking… Keep Reading
Dave Grohl’s story is really quite unique. How many drummers do you know hit it big in music by starting of one of the greatest rock bands in history (alongside legendary grunge icon Kurt Cobain no less)? Then after a tragic band breakup up decide to start and front their own band; to have it… Keep Reading
It’s always an event when The Dave Matthews Band comes to town, which is often the case with these “Jam Bands” type of groups. Fans don’t just come to listen to the music. They arrive super early to tailgate, reconnect with old friends, pass some grass around (or probably a vape pen these days?) and… Keep Reading

Sir Stewart was in fine spirits at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View last night, delighted to finally be reunited with Bay Area fans. “I think since the last time we saw each other, I’ve had another child,” he exclaimed in good humor.

It would have been a sad, sad day for metal fans everywhere had Slayer actually played their final concert ever last night. The legendary thrashers that had announced their retirement and the current tour as their last played a blistering set of metal classics to what looked like a sold-out crowd at the legendary Shark… Keep Reading
Halestorm and In This Moment brought their A-game to the Warfield last night, in a spectacular show of theatrics, wailing guitars and heart-wrenching vocals. I’ve said this before, but these days it’s the women that are rocking harder than the dudes it seems, and last night once again proved my point in exemplary fashion. @halestorm killed it… Keep Reading
Bay Area cowboys and cowgirls were out representing last night at the co-headlining show of Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum at the Shoreline. Never have I seen so many cowboy hats, daisy dukes, and cowboy boots at a Bay Area concert before. Under the warm clear skies of Moutain View, each played a full set… Keep Reading
Outside Lands came to end last night with an epic performance by the legendary Janet Jackson amidst a cold gray sky and neon-lit trees in the polo fields of Golden Gate Park.
