After the successful release of his album Not Now I’m Busy, Joyner Lucas recently brought his highly anticipated tour to the DMV area, delivering an unforgettable performance at The Fillmore Silver Spring.
Loaded guns, space heaters, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination. True to his high evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing and reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. He’s a time-traveling space-cowboy on a endless interstellar musical tour, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for getting to tag along.
Seeing The Reverend Horton Heat live is a transformative experience. So catch him live at Baltimore Soundstage on Wednesday, May 29.
Australian singer-songwriter Ziggy Alberts released his last full-length album, Dancing in the Street, in 2022. But now he is back with a new single, “New Love, and he’s embarking on the New Love World Tour 24, which includes a date at the Lincoln Theatre in DC on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
You can win a pair of tickets to go to the show with Parklife DC!
Judas Priest concerts are legendary for their high-octane energy, blistering guitar solos, and Rob Halford’s unmistakable vocals — which can still send shivers down your spine.
From the moment the lights recently dimmed and the crowd roared to life at the MGM National Harbor Theater, you could feel the electricity in the air.
“I think rock ‘n roll should be fuckin’ fun, am I right?,” Sebastian Bach recently told an enthusiastic crowd at Baltimore’s Rams Head Live. The 56-year-old singer has been on a 40-day tour that just wrapped up in South America to promote his new album, Child Within The Man.
I think maybe if it were another artist, you’d hear things like “return to form” or “getting back to basics,” but Sebastian Bach never left. Although, as he’s said in press, the album took 10 years to write, having had a chance to listen to the album that just hit the streets a week ago, it’s as strong as (if not stronger) than his material with Skid Row, the band he forged back in the late 1980s.
At his recent show at Jiffy Lube Live, Country Hall of Fame Member Hank Williams paid respect to the many traditions informing his music. This is fitting for the son of the most iconic figure in the history of country music, Hank Williams, Sr., but Jr.’s sense of tradition is much broader and more expansive, extending to blues and southern rock.
The set included covers of Hank Sr.’s songs, to be sure, but there were also covers of ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis, and Hank mentioned R&B legend Fats Domino.
Irish musician Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, better known as simply Hozier, returned to the DMV recently for a sold-out date on his Unreal Unearth Tour.
Steve Satzberg was there to photograph the show!
Mannequin Pussy is angry, and you should be too. Income inequality is at record levels. The Supreme Court is taking away our rights. Both major political parties wholeheartedly endorse a war in Gaza which the ICJ has ruled is plausibly genocidal. The world’s injustices pile up ever higher, live-streamed to our phones on a daily basis.
Echo & the Bunnymen continue to sell out shows across the United States as they bring on more concerts for their 40th anniversary celebration tour. And their recent return to 9:30 Club in DC gave happy concert-goers all of the neo-psychedelic anthems they craved in a sold-out show.
But the show was most notable for the pure love the audience had for frontman Ian McCulloch — a love that he felt a bit humbled by at the end of a stirring concert that featured epic singalongs of the Bunnymen hits.

New Wave icons Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale of the band Devo recently delighted fans on at the AFI Silver Theater with stories pertaining to their five-decade music career and their recently restored short films — what we now call music videos — from the 1970s and ‘80s.
