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.
Hozier with a great set to close out Saturday night at Mothership Weekend. First time seeing them live and thought it was very good. 🎶
Brandi Carlile took the stage to close out Friday night at Mothership Weekend. It was a great show with a full 2-hour set covering songs from a wide range of their catalog.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats gave a great show. Tons of energy. Great songs with plenty to dance along to.
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.

We are going to Brandi Carlile’s Mothership Weekend — gonna be great! 🎶
Tammy and I had a great evening at the Tina Schlieske show at The Dakota tonight. It was my favorite show of hers ever, but I’ve only seen her about eight times compared to Tammy’s 100 plus! It was a rocking show too! 🤩🎶



Mason Jennings at The Dakota
I don’t remember exactly when I heard Mason Jennings first album but it wasn’t long after it was out and I played it a lot. It was a real treat that he played a number of those songs at the Dakota this evening, and I was surprised to realize that I still knew the words to nearly all of them after so many years. This show was a real treat. 🎶


Just bought tickets to see Aoife O’Donovan Plays Nebraska at the Turf Club! I’m a huge fan of Springsteen’s Nebraska and have enjoyed O’Donovan since seeing Crooked Still so many years ago. This will be a great show. 🎶
