It’s not every night you get two acts that feel so different on paper but end up fitting together seamlessly in practice. That was the magic of the Afterglow Tour stop at The Anthem, where Cannons and Bob Moses created a shared atmosphere that moved effortlessly between hazy dream-pop and pulsing electronic intensity. The result was a slow-build journey, with each act leaning into its strengths while complementing the overall emotional tone of the evening at The Anthem.

There may not be a more suitable venue for Alice Phoebe Lou’s Oblivion Tour than Lincoln Theatre. The velvet-lined, gold accented chairs paired with Alice’s stripped down acoustic arrangements created a uniquely soothing experience that a standing show would struggle to recreate. Her distinctively warm, gritty voice flowed through the hall with such gravitational intimacy that the crowd had no choice but to be entranced.

I had to pull Virgil out of mothballs. Power metal demands witnesses.

He had been in winter storage for months, wrapped up and put away like a vintage sportscar nobody drives in the salt. When Helloween announced a date at The Fillmore Silver Spring with Beast in Black in tow, I peeled back the tarp, flipped the battery tender, and coaxed the old boy back into service. He groaned out loud but came along.

Dublin, Ireland-born Glen Hansard has had a long and varied career. He’s led the Irish indie rock group The Frames, won an Oscar for the soundtrack to the film Once in the mostly acoustic duo The Swell Season (with Markéta Irglová), and had a string of highly regarded solo albums that have ranged from his take on ’70s singer-songwriter sounds (2015’s Didn’t He Ramble) to throwback soul (2018’s Between Two Shores) and muscular rock (2019’s This Wild Willing and 2023’s All That Was East Is West of Me Now).

In his recent appearance at the 9:30 Club, backed by a band that rocked hard and emphatically, his set drew from all these phases of his career.

DaBaby Lit Up The Fillmore For the Be More Grateful Tour
H3adband, Bri3, and Zeddy Will set the pace early, then DaBaby took it over with nonstop momentum, confetti bursts, and two crowd peaks that shook the room.

On April 12 at The Fillmore Silver Spring, DaBaby’s Be More Grateful Tour felt like one of those nights where the room is already charged before the headliner even hits the stage. The Fillmore is naturally tight and loud when it’s full, but this crowd came in ready to participate, not wait around. Phones were up, voices were up, and from the first opener on, the energy stayed in motion.

Elizabeth and the Catapult — the moniker used by Greenwich Village native singer-songwriter Elizabeth Ziman — makes smart, sophisticated pop, incorporating influences from folk, soul, and American standards, full of warm heart and sharp wit. Elizabeth brought these qualities, and more, in her recent appearance at Jammin Java, touring behind the release of her latest album, Responsible Friend.

There’s always something a little surreal about catching a rock show inside a casino complex. You walk in, past blinking slot machines and low-stakes optimism, then walk through another set of doors and suddenly you’re in a room where guitars matter more than luck.

That was the mood recently at the Events Center at Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, West Virginia, with a low, steady anticipation humming like an amp left on standby. It felt like it was going to be one of those nights where people sing louder than the PA.

When Collective Soul took the stage, the first chords of “Counting the Days” hit and any sense of restraint just kind of evaporated. No warm-up lap. No easing into it. They came out like they had somewhere to be in a hurry, which is funny for a band that’s been at this for decades but still plays like they’ve got something to prove.
