Music

Concert notes, set lists and personal impressions fill this category. From the dreamy Americana of Lord Huron to Coldplay’s stadium spectacle and intimate performances at the Dakota jazz club, I share what moved me in the moment.

Danielle Ponder started things off at Mothership Weekend. Her vocals were powerful. The songs were great. It was an impressive performance. She ended with a cover of Creep that was incredible.

Seeing Bono’s “Surrender” at the Beacon Theater tonight was one of the most engaging performances I’ve ever seen. Two hours with Bono sharing stories of U2, his youth, and mixed with powerful and inimate performances of U2 songs. Incredible and magical. ✨
