    An Evening With St. Lucia: Two Sets, No Opener

    August 20, 2026 – Acclaimed synth-electro-pop duo St. Lucia played their penultimate show on tour in Dallas, TX at the Granada Theatre last night with their band and it was as immaculate as one would expect. From stage production to perfect musicianship, this is a night to be talked about for a long time. The…

    Nirvanamania and Heroine Honey – Alternative Rock Night at the Tuscany Copa Room!

    Heroine Honey and Nirvanamania played the Tuscany Copa Room on Saturday, August 15, 2026. It’s always a good time for rock and roll at the Tuscany’s Copa Room! I’m a huge fan of classic 80s hard rock and metal, but am pleased to see that the bands on the bill sometimes veer into the 90s…

    Train’s Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years in the Atmosphere Tour // Dallas, TX

    August 15, 2026 – If there is one band that can unite boomers with GenX with millennials, it’s Train. These guys have a hit from virtually every era of their nearly three-decade-long career from “Meet Virginia,” to “Drops Of Jupiter,” to “Hey Soul Sister,” to “Marry Me.” This is one of those bands that makes…

    80s Things – A Trip Back in Time at the Tuscany Copa Room!

    80s Things played the Tuscany Hotel and Casino’s Copa Room on Friday, August 7, 2026. Leave it to the good people at the Tuscany to continue bringing live music to the masses!

    Mayday Parade – August 8, 2026 – Downtown Rocks Summer Concert Series at Fremont Street Experience

    The first time I saw Mayday Parade was in 2017 at a venue that no longer exists. It was the A Lesson in Romantics 10th Anniversary Tour. I remember going to the show alone because I had no friends who were into them (okay, let’s face it, I just had no friends). I tried to…


  • Angel – From the Heavens to the Bootlegger Copa Room!

    Angel – From the Heavens to the Bootlegger Copa Room!

    Angel played the Bootlegger Copa Room on Saturday, August 8, 2026. In the 70s, Angel arrived on the scene with a unique sound and look combining heavy guitar riffs and wild keyboards. On Casablanca Records alongside KISS, they were marketed as that demonic band’s antithesis, with an angelic androgynous look, and the stage show to…

    AC/DC Pop-Up Shop at the Hard Rock Cafe!

    AC/DC’s pop-up shop hosted a special fan/press “preview night” on Thursday, July 30, 2026. What can be said about AC/DC that hasn’t been said already. These Australian rock juggernauts have been doing their thing for over half a century. Love them or hate them, there’s no escaping anthems like “Highway to Hell,” “Back in Black,”…


  • The Stray Cats Return to Las Vegas!

    The Stray Cats Return to Las Vegas!

    The Stray Cats strutted into the Chelsea Theatre in the Cosmopolitan last Saturday. The band has been playing their rockabilly style for over 40 years.
