Live Review: Geoff Tate w/ Fire & Water @ Tally Ho Theater — 3/28/24
Geoff Tate is a renowned American singer and musician, best known as the former lead vocalist of the influential progressive metal band Queensrÿche.
Tate is well known for his powerful operatic vocals, charismatic stage presence, and his ability to captivate audiences with his dramatic live performances, as seen recently at the Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, Virginia.
Live Review: Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives w/ Wyatt Ellis @ The Birchmere — 3/28/24
At its best, live music can be an uplifting experience. Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives put on that kind of show in their recent appearance at The Birchmere. I’d been having a rough day, been fighting a stress headache, but by the time they were done playing, it had cleared up. And then I went home and slept like a baby. So let me start by saying, “Thanks, guys!”
Snapshots: Mary Gauthier w/ Jaimee Harris @ Rams Head on Stage — 3/27/24
Folk singer Mary Gauthier recently dropped by Rams Head on Stage to explore themes of loss with her partner Jaimee Harris accompanying her and opening the show.

Snapshots: Grouplove @ 9:30 Club — 3/26/24
Grouplove performed at 9:30 Club recently to tour their latest album, I Want It All Right Now, but they also introduced DC to a few new songs! Steve Satzberg was there to photograph the show.
Live Review: Fall Out Boy @ CFG Arena — 3/20/24
A fan from the beginning, my middle school self recently got to do something I only ever dreamed of — see Fall Out Boy live in concert. Their recent show at CFG Arena left little to be desired, with amazing openers and a magical mix of hits from across their discography that left everyone in the building exhilarated and sated with the amazing night.
Featuring an impressive pyrotechnics show, a quick magic act and a 20-foot puppet, I can’t think of anything that Fall Out Boy didn’t include in their expansive Baltimore set and show.
Snapshots: Eliza McLamb @ Union Stage — 3/25/24
Eliza McLamb recently released her debut full-length, Going Through It, via Royal Mountain Records — and she’s touring the album now! Eliza swung by Union Stage in DC for a show recently, and Carolin Harvey was there to photograph the concert.
Live Review: Hot Club of Cowtown @ Jammin’ Java — 3/25/24
Eclectic might be the best way to describe the Hot Club of Cowtown and their recent set at Jammin’ Java. The trio played a mix of covers ranging from traditional folk (the Scottish “Loch Lomond”) to jazz classics (Ella Fitzgerald’s “Exactly Like You”), Western swing (Bob Wills’s “My Confession”), and country tunes (Merle Travis’s “Kentucky Means Paradise”), in addition to their original songs.
Live Review: Matt Maltese @ Howard Theatre — 3/20/24
Matt Maltese recently entered the Howard Theatre stage sheepishly, yet when the Reading-raised singer-songwriter opened his mouth, everyone listened.
Live Review: Dave Stewart and Eurythmics Songbook @ EagleBank Arena — 3/13/24
Dave Stewart, the splendid Englishman who shot to fame as half of the synthpop duo Eurythmics, has a great ear for music, and he has applied that strength to fashion a decades-long career as a powerhouse producer in America.
But that keen ear for music was very much on display in a welcome return to the stage for Dave, who recently toured the songs of the Eurythmics as opener for Bryan Adams. Dave recruited a stunning band of female musicians, each of whom brought their own sonic strengths to the ensemble, to explore 11 superb Eurythmics songs in concert when the tour arrived for a DC-area show at EagleBank Arena.
