In what is sure to be a highlight of the musical calendar, three-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams brings her Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets Tour to the Lincoln Theater in DC on Tuesday, Nov. 19.

Borrowing its title from her acclaimed memoir, Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You (which itself is named for a lyric in her song “Metal Firecracker”), this tour features the stories behind the songs that have made her one of the most respected and influential writers in contemporary music.

Live Review: Zara Larsson @ 9:30 Club — 11/1/24

After not seeing Zara Larsson in DC for a few years (I had actually seen her play 9:30 Club as a rising teen sensation several years ago), Larsson was spectacular on her return to 9:30 Club for a recent sold-out show.

Larsson, known for such timeless songs as “Lush Life,” “Uncover,” and “Symphony” (with Clean Bandit) is currently on a short tour of North America in support of her latest album, Venus.

Live Review: TR/ST @ The Atlantis — 10/31/24

The music of TR/ST is well-crafted, multifaceted synthpop that draws the ear and engages the brain. But TR/ST melodies weren’t the first thing to immediately provoke a reaction in a recent sold-out stage at The Atlantis in DC.

Rather, the audience may have looked onward in curiosity at the sparse stage setting. It seemed particularly stark with a blank white backdrop that bore nothing other than the word “FAG” (in red letters), place in a high lonely place.

Live Review: The Dip @ 9:30 Club — 10/29/24

The Dip loves Washington DC, and the nation’s capital most certainly reciprocates the sentiment.

It was clear in February of last year when the Seattle-based group filled the 9:30 Club, and it was even more obvious as The Dip returned recently for another sold-out and sensational night at the popular venue.

With its previous visit bumped back due to the pandemic, the band made it to DC in early 2023 between album releases. But The Dip’s current tour sees it out in promotion of its fourth studio record, Love Direction, unveiled in July.

Live Review: The SteelDrivers w/ Wood Box Heroes @ The Birchmere — 11/1/24

I can be hot or cold when it comes to bluegrass. A lot of it sounds the same to me, and the bands tend to cover a lot of the same core tunes. But The SteelDrivers are different: They place a lot of emphasis on their songwriting, and, as fiddle player and frontwoman Tammy Rogers said, they don’t play “Rocky Top.” I always enjoy their shows, and their recent appearance at The Birchmere — their last in a run of shows for this year — was a special delight, as the band was loose and having a good time.

Live Review: MJ Lenderman @ 9:30 Club — 10/30/24

MJ Lenderman knows why we get fucked up. The Asheville, NC singer-songwriter has taken the indie world by storm this year with his scuzzy country rock anthems. In a sold-out show at the 9:30 Club on the night before Halloween, he wowed the assembled hipsters and indie boys of the DMV with a set loud and dextrous enough to restore your faith in guitar music.

Live Review: Duran Duran @ CFG Bank Arena — 10/28/24

In recent years, Duran Duran have become Masters of Halloween. Inspired by a smash Vegas concert that occurred days before they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, Duran Duran released a new album, Danse Macabre in 2023 and followed up with an expanded edition only weeks ago. Along the way, they also released that Vegas show as a concert film, Secret Oktober, available for streaming.

This remarkable output reached its apex with a thrilling sold-out Halloween concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City a few days ago. And along the way, Duran Duran played some Halloween-week dates including a recent show at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore. The Baltimore concert was absolutely amazing, a testament to the band’s musical prowess for long-time admirers and curious onlookers alike.
