I was very sad to miss CMAT’s show in October of last year at the intimate venue Beat Kitchen. As a fan of her first two records, I wanted desperately to catch her live.

Last night I saw another band that got back together after a long break, but The Gaslight Anthem is doing it a little bigger. They’ve got a full tour and they’re already talking about making another album, eight years … Continue reading The Gaslight Anthem at Riviera Theatre 9/26/22
