Seeing Modest Mouse live has been a dream of mine for years. I found myself finally getting the opportunity and headed out to Columbus, Ohio to see my dream fulfilled on the final date of their six show tour. The concert was held at L.C. Pavilion amphitheater downtown and the weather couldn’t have been better

The Old Ceremony brought dance-worthy music to the Emerald Lounge
Two weeks ago, I almost backed out of going to a show. I’d had a long day at work that capped off quite a long week, and I was just ready to curl up and watch “30 Rock” for the rest of the night. I almost texted my friend and pseudo-assistant Shonie to cancel, but

I left my heart in Morrison, Colorado
If you’ve never been, you really can’t imagine how beautiful Colorado is as a whole. My dad moved out there last January, and ever since the first time I visited, I was hooked. I went to visit him on my spring break this year, and my dad suggested I check out Westword, an entertainment and

Jeff Michels brings rock, country blend to local brewery
Davidson T. Studebaker - Staff Writer It was a warm night at the Southern Appalachian Brewery – alive with smiling faces and glasses of cheer. There were almost no seats left in the house when I arrived, and the tasting room quickly filled to standing room only. Eric Congdon opened the show with a medley of
Beirut combines worldly sound, brilliance
Auburn Petty – Editor-in-Chief Previous to their show in Asheville, I had never seen Beirut live before. I’d heard their music, and I was impressed. But I don’t think anything could’ve prepared me for how excellent they were live. Though I couldn’t stay the whole show, I was thoroughly impressed with how practiced and on-point
Eisley plays Asheville’s Grey Eagle
I’ve tried many times to express to everyone how much I absolutely adore Eisley’s music. Even though I can’t ever find the correct words, I keep trying. I saw them back in October and did an interview with Sherri, Stacy and Chauntelle, and I was so happy to find out that I only had to
