What’s better during the summer than a package tour? Not much, if you ask me. What’s even better than a summer package tour? A summer package tour with bands that made a huge impact on your youth! Such was the case for the Summer Unity Tour at Jiffy Lube Live. The four act bill was a blend of the nostalgic and the new and included Greyling James Rue, Our Lady Peace, Live, and Collective Soul.

Concerts rarely move me to tears. In fact, the last time it happened was at a Neil Young solo performance in 2023. Maybe it was the nostalgia of youth, or a particular memory, or simply the realization that, at that moment, I was truly happy. Not long ago, River Whyless managed to bring water to my eyes. Twice.

In a performance that combined beautiful songwriting, a gorgeous setting, and a vibrant crowd, Halli Anderson, Alex McWalters, Daniel Shearin, and Ryan O’Keefe gave the near capacity audience (1,750) a warm evening of flawless harmonies, stellar musicianship, and the emotional release that dancing under the evening sky brings.

In a recent social media post, Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood stated the blunt truth of the music business: There is no retirement, and he’ll be out on tour until he can’t do it anymore. The Truckers are true road warriors: Saturday evening’s show at The Anthem with Deer Tick and Thelma & the Sleaze on the Charm & Decadence Tour was my third experience with them in 10 months, counting the Southern Rock Opera anniversary show last October and Patterson’s two-night solo tour stop at The Atlantis in March.

As many dates as they play, the Truckers never seem like they’re tired of doing it, and this recent show was as electric and charged as any I’ve seen them play.

On Thursday night, Wolf Trap hosted a couple of legendary figures in Emmylou Harris and Graham Nash, musicians whose long careers have done much to shape the musical landscape we live in today.

Harris took the stage first, and her set showed off her estimable skills as both an interpreter and writer of songs, and the stylistic diversity of her music. I could hardly have asked for a better set, as she hit on many of my favorites from her extensive catalog.

The self-proclaimed “best rapper alive,” Lil Wayne himself recently tore down Jiffy Lube Live as he kicked off his Tha Carter VI Tour: Celebrating 20+ Years of Carter Classics in support of his latest entry in his Tha Carter series, Tha Carter VI. The first official show was held at Madison Square Garden in early June, but the tour just resumed in Virginia last week. Wayne spent the night playing classic after classic from his more than 25-year career, as well as introducing us to his new generation of Young Money artists.

Nobody expected perfect weather for the recent Barenaked Ladies show at Wolf Trap, but the storms that rolled through Virginia that night were something else. At one point, the IMAX screens told people on the lawn to find shelter. But Wolf Trap crowds don’t give up that easily.

John Fogerty: Still Chooglin’ Through the Virginia Rain
By Mike Sprouse / Odd Rocker Photography

So, picture this: It’s Friday night in Doswell, Virginia. The rain picks up then fades off and on, just to make everyone soggy and slightly miserable. We’re wedged in behind Kings Dominion — within shouting distance of roller coasters — but none of that mattered. Because in the gravel lot-turned-venue at the Atlantic Union Bank After Hours stage, the guy who basically invented swamp rock was walking out in denim jacket and jeans like it was 1970 all over again.

And folks, John Fogerty came to play.
