Joanne Shaw Taylor is currently on tour in the USA, and she played Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis recently to a huge blues audience. Taylor is on tour in support of her latest album, Black and Gold, and she has played Rams Head numerous times in the past so in some ways this was almost like a homecoming for the globally renowned blues guitarist.

I spent Friday night at the Events Center at Hollywood Casino in Charlestown, West Virginia, enjoying the timeless rock and roll of the legendary Cheap Trick. The band are currently out on tour in support of their 21st and latest album, All Washed Up.

Cheap Trick is a band that still knows exactly what it is. No grand mystery there. Just great songs, a bit of volume, and that oddly perfect mix of grit and polish the Rockford, Illinois boys have carried for decades.

If you want to rock in the 2020s, Sebastian Bach should be on any music lover’s concert list. Bach and band put on an excellent hard-driving, metal, rock and roll show recently at Tally Ho in Leesburg, Virginia, to a sold-out crowd during their 2026 North America Tour, titled The Party Never Ends.

Let’s get right to it: This reviewer hasn’t had that much fun at a concert in a very, very long time. On Friday, March 27, five distinctly heavy, distinctly rocking bands, and a fan base ready to start the weekend off right, converged on Metro Baltimore for a night for a bill led by Hirax and Savage Master — and they moved us all to the core…literally.

Jordana brought her Jordanaland tour to Richmond Music Hall recently, delivering an intimate performance that felt more like a gathering of friends than a formal concert. Fans chatted excitedly before the show, and when the lights dimmed, the room settled into a chill, happy atmosphere that carried through the entire set.

Bluegrass royalty made a pit-stop in Alexandria recently, when Peter Rowan and the Sam Grisman Project arrived at The Birchmere for a show. It was a night of great bluegrass music and storytelling — from Rowan’s perspective as Grisman did not speak much but backed up the lack of conversation with just great bluegrass music.

Bringing their Werewolf Tour to the 9:30 Club, the Nashville-based quintet The Brook & The Bluff recently showed off their chops to balance a high-octane performance energy while sprinkling in a handful of more intimate acoustic moments. It was a highly engaging night that captivated the 1,200 fans in attendance.

After a brief hiatus due to the passing of her mother, Iyla released her first full length album WEEPING ANGEL, delivering a long awaited return to the limelight. The record comes with a notable shift away from her successful rap-adjacent style to a more soulful, melodic and sometimes angelic delivery. The sold-out DC9 venue filled up rapidly, with fans scrambling to find a decent angle to experience the comeback show.

Lady Gaga Turns Concert into Living Music Video at Capital One Arena

Lady Gaga has reined as the preeminent pop artist of our time. But perhaps more crucially, she stands apart as our contemporary top pop video artist.

Gaga has always been an artist shaped by the language of pop spectacle, and she is leaning all the say into that reputation for the Mayhem Ball Tour, her latest massive movable musical feast.
