ZZ Top recently delivered a blistering performance at Jiffy Lube Live, proving once again why they’re rock royalty. The Texas trio, known for their signature blend of blues and rock, brought their A-game to the Jiffy Lube Live stage in Bristow, Virginia, for a thoroughly enjoyable night of high-octane rock ‘n’ roll.

Live Review: Band of Horses with City and Colour @ The Lyric Baltimore — 9/6/24
There are just things that go well together. My television would say the most likely pairing would be chocolate and peanut butter, but I’d go so far as to say Friday night’s pairing of Band of Horses and City and Colour, the stage name of Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, would put Reese’s to shame.
The co-headlining tour kicked off in Atlanta in August, both bands made stops along the East Coast, including one at Wolf Trap last week, and arrived at The Lyric in Baltimore just in time for a week of perfect late Summer weather.
Live Review: Waxahatchee w/ Tim Heidecker and Snail Mail @ Wolf Trap — 9/6/24
When I first saw Waxahatchee at the Miracle Theater in 2018, she was already one of her generation’s leading singer-songwriters, with a devoted cult following. She’s long had the respect and admiration of her fellow musicians, like Jason Isbell and Sheryl Crow, who she once opened for at Wolf Trap. On Friday night, she moved up to headline that same venue, supported by Tim Heidecker and Snail Mail, in what was one of the summer’s best shows.
Live Review: Falling in Reverse @ Jiffy Lube Live — 9/6/24
I’ve seen a lot of amazing shows so far this year, but this was by far one of the best: Falling in Reverse took the stage at Jiffy Lube Live on Friday night with an all-star line up that had my inner emo kid crying tears of joy.

Live Review: Crowded House w/ Michigander @ Wolf Trap — 9/3/24
With the release of their self-titled debut in 1986, Crowded House made an immediate splash. The album rose to No. 12 on the Billboard charts, and the band scored Top 10 hits with “Something So Strong” and “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” both of which made it into their recent performance at Wolf Trap.
Their catalog is much deeper and extensive than a few big hits, though, and they showed why they’ve developed such a strong international following at their Wolf Trap show.
