I've seen eight shows since the last edition of the concert calendar. The first six were described here; since then I've only seen two more.

13. The Growlers sold out the Beachland Ballroom on Sunday, May 14. I'd bought a ticket a monthly previously based on the description and a couple of tracks. Unfortunately, I was in a lousy mood that day, ( Read more... )

It's been there months and just show of two weeks since my last concert calendar. In that time I saw six concerts, summarized here. Let's see what's coming up.

As always, bold means I'm going. Italics means I'm more than usually interested, and everything else is either listed so I remember to consider playing it on my radio show, because I think ( Read more... )

It's time for a new concert calendar! In the three months and two weeks since my last calendar, I saw a bunch of shows to drive my totals for year to 39 concerts and 73 bands. Ten I summarized a few weeks ago, but here are the most recent three ( Read more... )

I went an entire summer since my last concert calendar. I made it to eleven shows this summer; ten summarized here, plus one more last night ( Read more... )

Back in 2012, I said that my top three "must see artists" were David Bowie, Tom Waits and an open third spot I later awarded to Prince. Bowie died earlier this year, Prince died today, and I never saw either of them. Prince played out too, and I just never got my act together, so that's on me ( Read more... )

I've been to nine shows since my last concert calendar, but although I love going to shows, the real reason I put this calendar together is to help me prepare for my radio show every Sunday afternoon. Looking at the bands coming to town (often with new albums) gives me plenty of ideas. Let's see what ideas are in the hopper for the next few months ( Read more... )

2015 has come to a close. I already summarized the last eight shows of 2015, so let's get right to the 2016 concert calendar. After all, on a cold day there's no better way to warm up than by dancing at a show, or at least packing in with many other like minded music fans.

As always, bold means I'm definitely going, and italics means I'm strongly ( Read more... )

It's been almost four months since my last concert calendar. I have summarized my concert attendance for the summer already, but since then I've added a few more shows:

- Matt Pond PA played their second show of the year in my living room on October 1.
- On October 10, I crossed off a major personal bucket list band when I saw Garth Brooks at the ( Read more... )

Has it really been two months since my last concert calendar? Wow. To be fair, I've been busy. However, that busy only included six shows. One was covered when I did my two posts of gigs since February. Here are the other five:

- I went on a big road trip in April. On April 22 I was at the Bright Angel Lounge in the Grand Canyon. The restaurant ( Read more... )

Normally I'd start off a new concert calendar with a recap of all the six concerts I've gone to since the last concert calendar. However, I am skipping the recap this time so I can plug something I really care about.

As most of you know, I have been hosting a Sunday afternoon radio show at WRUW-FM (91.1) since 2002. I've been affiliated with the ( Read more... )
