Sunday night was a great night out for an All Ages show at the Vera Project. I had finished all my Father’s Day activities earlier in the day and noticed the nice line-up; it was a perfect night to check out the new location and listen to a few bands. Noticeably absent from [...]

My ears are still wrecked from a hot night of music at Neumo’s on Friday at the sold out John in the Morning at Night show. I’ve never left a single one of these shows disappointed and this year was no exception. In years past ,these have always been amazing shows to [...]
