Every live show holds the same weight; someone there is seeing their favorite artist for the first time. Likely someone whose music helped them through a hard time, helped them realize feelings they didn’t know they were hiding, or helped them discover a part of themselves. However, it seemed for Cavetown, most everyone in the room had a spiritual or almost religious experience seeing lead singer, Robin, live.

When they say house is a feeling, Rochelle Jordan is a testament to that. Blending R&B with house and dance music, the British-Jamaican artist delivered a synchronized, captivating set that had the audience doing what house music does best: dancing. Jordan joined Suki Waterhouse on her The Loveland Tour at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, on September 30.

Jackson Marshall’s performance was a reminder that a great concert isn’t always about filling a room. Sometimes, it’s about the people who show up, know every lyric, and make a small space feel like something much bigger.

Nobody brings the energy like Saint Motel does. Their music is a go to whenever I'm feeling down and need a pick me up because you simply can't be sad when you're listening to their songs. However, I didn't know where to place my expectations going into a live performance. Sometimes that energy can't translate as well live so I was a little worried, but Saint Motel absolutely exceeded any expectations and had the entire audience bouncing around the Scoot Inn in Austin, TX.

A few weeks ago, Dermot Kennedy put on the most phenomenal show in Toronto, Ontario. His sold out show at the largest amphitheater in Canada, The RBC Amphitheater, was not only a performance, but a partial escape to Ireland - where the singer is from. Photo by: Katrina McLean As the lights dimmed, the crowd erupted into cheers. He began the night with the opening track from The Weight of the Woods album, “the Weight of the Woods (Reprised)”, a beautiful, vocally driven, intro

Photo by: Ariel Rodriguez Finn Wolfhard is no stranger to Austin. Finn first visited town in January 2019 to play with his then-band Calpurnia, and didn't return until March 2025 when he made his directorial debut at a series of stops for his movie “Hell of a Summer” with co-director and co-writer Billy Bryk. He seemed to like Austin so much that he came back a year later for the premiere of Bryk's brother Dempsey's movie “Crash Land” at SXSW this past March, which received 1

Hey, Nothing is genuinely one of the most interesting additions to the indie scene I’ve seen in a while. You need to have your eye on them, immediately. Photo by: Alexis Whitfield The band brought their Hound World Tour to Austin, TX and absolutely blew everyone at Scoot Inn away! Despite the early show and the blazing Texas heat, the fans showed up and danced the night away alongside the band. The intimate venue provided the perfect space for the band to dance around, intera

A few nights ago, Ryan Beatty put on a magnificent concert in Toronto, Ontario. His performance was a calming and quieter show, but an extremely captivating set. From the front to the very last row, Ryan had fans singing along, dancing, and crying. Photo by: Katrina McLean Ryan started the night off by entering the stage, folding a paper plane, and attempted to throw it into the audience... which didn’t exactly end up making it there. Ryan and the crowd laughed, and he ended

The Los Angeles punk quartet makes their 6th tour stop for their esteemed Gotta Get Out album, touching down in Denver, Colorado where local band Capture This and Minneapolis rockers, Vial, open up the swarming Summit Music Hall venue. Capture This and Vial aptly warm up the crowd with pop punk ballads and political word play. The bands have appropriately partnered with activist platforms Propeller, PLUS1 and Headcount to promote immigrant and trans rights as well as educati

On Saturday, Sep.19, The 4411 brought their Texas charm to Chicago, IL to perform for a sold out crowd at Schubus Tavern.

Isaiah Rashad has made his mark within the music industry, mixing Hip Hop, R&B, and Soul into a unique new sound. He brought his iconic “Lil Sunny’s Awful Road Trip” tour to the House of Blues Orlando with opener, Alemeda. Photo by: Michael Friday Before any performances happened, Isaiah set the tone with pre-show visuals. They all had play-on titles from popular movies, shows, companies, with the words “awful” replacing specific words, my favorite being the High School Music

I genuinely don't think I've ever been this overstimulated at a concert before. Photo Credit: Bryce Hall My Chemical Romance put on one of the most insane shows I've ever seen, and I mean that in the best possible way. It started with a marching band-looking drummer coming out onstage, followed by an opera singer singing the national anthem of Draag while the president of Draag watched over the floor on the jumbotron. There was a dictator. There was the severed head of a Dict

Lunar Vacation at Levitation was one of those shows where I left feeling like I had just experienced something completely new and life changing. Photo by Alexis Whitfield (@alexiscaptures.jpg) I've been a fan of Lunar Vacation for a while, so getting to see them live for the first time was already something I was really excited about, but I didn't expect the whole room to feel quite as dreamy as it did. Their music has this hazy, floaty quality to it, and hearing it live whil

Following the unfortunate cancellation of Rachel Chinouriri’s headline show due to take place that evening, the Darlings, Rachel’s fan-base, came together at an impromptu gathering in the park, all thanks to Kaitlin, the owner of Rachel's HQ account. Heidi Curtis joined us to do an acoustic set and showed her deepest gratitude to all

I genuinely don't think I've ever had this much fun shooting a show. Photo by: Alexis Whitfield (@Alexiscaptures.jpg) Bop to the Top was basically a giant Disney nostalgia party, except instead of being 10 years old, everyone was in their late 20s and early 30s and fully committed to reliving their childhood for the night. It was so much fun seeing everyone react to all of these songs that were such a huge part of growing up. The second a recognizable song came on, the entir

If I had to choose one way to describe the feeling of live music, it would be ‘infectious energy’, and that is exactly what Six Foot Blonde created in Indianapolis, IN, on Friday, Aug.28. Photo by: Mikkenzi Edwards From the moment they took the stage at the Hi-Fi Annex, it felt like the crowd and the band became one. They didn't just perform at the crowd; they brought everyone into their energy and made the audience feel like part of the show. Based out of Bloomington, IN, Si

On Friday, August 28, Orca –a rising dream-pop duo from San Antonio, TX– released their new, quaintly titled single, “Dove” that takes listeners on a melancholic, dreamy journey about “ordinary love”. Orca via Band Website (orcamusic.xyz) Composed of the musical talents of Mylena Velasquez and Daniel Galloway, this latest work from the duo follows their April release of their EP, Soren. The three-minute ballad opens with gossamer drum fills, delicate guitar and my favorite a

Everything about the Chicago/Styx Windy Cities Tour felt like stepping into an arena in the 1980s. Photo: Alexis Whitfield @alexiscaptures.jpg The first act of the night was Chicago. This was my first time seeing them after having grown up on their music and I was so surprised at how much fun I had. The first part of the show consisted of the more jam-band style of playing, and the fun that the band had while playing on stage immediately radiated through the fans. I genuinely

On Aug. 10, British R&B artist Ella Mai graced the stage of Hard Rock Live Orlando on her “Do You Still Love Me?” tour with supporting acts from up-and-coming R&B performers, Girlfriend and Ama. Mississippi native, Girlfriend, opened the night with her undeniable confidence and portrayal of what it really means to be a southerner.“Wow, this girl is so cool!”, was my main thought of her throughout her performance, especially during her cover of Jermain Reese Jr.’s “Can’t Expla

RIYL: Dirty Heads, 311, Sublime, Little Stranger We need to talk about Tropidelic… like right now. I can guarantee that they are the missing piece to your playlists and will definitely make it onto all of your summer soundtracks. I got to experience the euphoria of the band’s live performance in Austin last week on tour with Little Stranger and I can’t stop thinking about it. So you’ve never heard of Tropidelic and want to know what you’re missing out on? Let me give you the
