The amazing Patty Griffin brought her Downtown Church tour to The Pageant alongside producer/songsmith/guitar wizard Buddy Miller and we all got saved. Full review at PlaybackSTL.

Off Broadway, the venerable St. Louis venue located in the historic Lemp district, just keeps getting better. I seem to get by there every six months or so, and in the few years since Steve Pohlman took over it has seen a host of improvements. And appropriately, most of them are based around allowing fans [Continue Reading...]

Yes folks, we’ve been invaded. Imperial China descended upon St. Louis to play a face-melting set at Cicero’s with Sleepy Kitty on Wednesday night, and I have fallen in love with the band.

I remembered that the cards carry a limited lifetime warranty, but having been down that road with other companies in the past I figured there was [Continue Reading...]

I have a confession to make: music was my first love, not photography. Listening to it, playing it, talking about it. Didn’t matter. Still doesn’t.
