Noah Cyrus at House Of Blues 10/7/18

I hadn’t heard of Noah Cyrus until a couple months ago when she popped up on my Spotify Discover playlist. I don’t remember which song it was, but I thought it was fine, nothing special. Then last month she released a single with Gallant from her Good Cry EP that I found to be really good. So when I got the opportunity to shoot this … Continue reading Noah Cyrus at House Of Blues 10/7/18

ZZ Ward at House Of Blues 2/9/18

Just a couple weeks shy of five years ago I caught ZZ Ward at Lincoln Hall. She was coming off her debut Til The Casket Drops, and I was interested in hearing her bluesy version of pop music.

Much moreso than that other bluesy … Continue reading Black Pistol Fire at House Of Blues 2/9/18

Silent Alarm is one of those touchstone albums that I think everyone my age that’s into music at all has in their collection. Even though I don’t listen to it as often as I do some others, I definitely recognize it’s … Continue reading Bloc Party Lollapalooza After Show at House Of Blues 7/30/2016

The Used at House Of Blues, Chicago 5/17/2016 (Photos)

It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since The Used exploded onto the scene (literally, given front man Bert McCracken’s penchant for vomiting). The band hit the road to celebrate the anniversary and hit Chicago for two nights at the House Of Blues this week. Our newest contributor Kris Lori was there to capture the evening for us. New Regime kicked off the evening … Continue reading The Used at House Of Blues, Chicago 5/17/2016 (Photos)
