In my head, Charlie Mars and Abe Partridge seemed like an unlikely pair to share an evening, and an even more unlikely pair to share a stage and trade songs, but that’s what they did at Rams Head On Stage on Oct. 7. Mars revealed that this was the first time he’d ever asked anyone to share a stage with him, but he and Partridge had been friends for a long time, and he thought it would be a good idea. The two did appear very friendly, even after sharing a lot of time in the car together on this tour.

Superstar Olivia Rodrigo recently brought The Unravelled Tour for two nights to Capital One Arena. She initially made waves in 2021 with the release of “drivers license,” which blew up on TikTok and subsequently around the world. Her debut album, Sour (2021), went six-times platinum, propelled by other smash hits such as “deja vu” and “good 4 u.” She followed up with Guts (2023), proving she was a pop star here to stay. After touring globally for nearly two years, Rodrigo released her highly anticipated third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, in June. Leading up to the tour, Rodrigo hosted SNL, performed a surprise set at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound, and curated an all-female festival called Daisy Chain Fields.

It was a powerful weekend for music in the DC area, with Tom Morello hosting the Power to the People festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion on a Saturday. The venue could have rested on its laurels after such a major event, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, Merriweather followed up on that Sunday with one of the hottest nights of rap music in the area.

G-Eazy and Logic delivered an exciting night of rap, energetic performances, and entertainment for the fans in attendance.

Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry brought their co-headlining Hive Mind Tour to The Anthem recently, with Superheaven and Boundaries in support. I walked in an elder millennial who was around for the first wave of metalcore and never warmed to it. So I came as a clinician: notebook out, at the mouth of the pit, here to study the ritual.

My history with Knocked Loose is limited, but notable. At the ill-fated Blue Ridge Rock Festival in 2023, I was hungover, lounging on a beanbag couch in the VIP tent, while Knocked Loose jiggled my guts. That was Friday, the day after a supercell thunderstorm chose violence and cut the first day short, and the only day the whole festival worked. Saturday and Sunday were canceled outright. Slipknot headlined that night.

The Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy co-headlining tour recently made its second stop at The Fillmore Silver Spring. The tour is a co-headlining match made in heaven — two iconic female guitarists and singer-songwriters who rose to indie prominence in the late 2010s.

The Sex Pistols’ performance at the 9:30 Club was full of memorable moments, but one in particular stood out.

As photographers in the photo pit were taking their last shots and preparing to clear out after the first three songs, I was capturing legendary guitarist Steve Jones on stage left when Jonesy, 71, noticed me. He locked eyes with me for a beat, then promptly turned around and waved his butt at my camera.

It felt like a classic moment of punk attitude, and I couldn’t help but smile for the rest of the night.

All eyes were on DC’s edition of All Things Go after the New York festival was canceled entirely because of a nor’easter’s torrential rain and powerful winds. Despite facing its own weather challenges, Merriweather Post Pavilion hosted a marvelous weekend of music, with each day taking on a distinct character.

Public Image Ltd (PiL) arrived at the 9:30 Club on Oct. 1 and delivered a phenomenal concert experience, with opener Plague Vendor setting the tone for the evening with hard-hitting music. John Lydon, the one-time lead vocalist for the Sex Pistols, was outstanding alongside his bandmates Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth, and Mark Roberts.

There are energetic crowds, and then there are crowds that make you start wondering about the structural engineering beneath your feet.

Towa Bird brought the Gentleman Tour to The Atlantis on Oct. 1, and from the moment she appeared onstage, the mostly young audience seemed determined to give back every bit of energy she sent their way. Fans jumped hard enough to make the floor of the 450-capacity club noticeably bounce. For the carefree fans packed into the room, it was basically a moon bounce with a backbeat. For a middle-aged photographer trying to keep a moving subject tack-sharp through a telephoto lens, it introduced a different kind of technical challenge.

It’s been a great concert season catching up with some of the best bands of the ’90s. On Sept. 30, I was able to see two of the finest rock bands from that era, Our Lady Peace (OLP) with openers The Verve Pipe, at Howard Theatre in Washington, DC.
