Photo Gallery: Mumford & Sons at The Chicago Theatre
London quartet Mumford & Sons have pulled off some impressive feats during their decade-long career. Friday night at Chicago’s United Center they continued that winning streak. They managed to make a cavernous sports arena feel intimate and inviting. The fact that they sold it out in mere moments was equally impressive. Touring behind their fourth […]

Photo Gallery: Metric/Zoe at Aragon Ballroom
A huge portion of North America was represented this past Friday night in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, and the good ole’ U.S. of A. was not on the bill.

Live Review and Gallery: Michael Bublé at Allstate Arena
Michael Bublé Allstate Arena, Rosemont Sunday, March 17, 2019 A six-year gap in between tours for a post-2000s artist may as well be a lifetime, but in the case of Michael Bublé, it didn’t come at the hands of a laborious creative pursuit or some self-indulgent exile. Instead, his infant son was dealt an extremely […]
Photo Gallery: Strange 90’s – A Benefit for Jerry Bryant of JBTV at Metro
Chicago’s music community came together on Friday night to help out one of its own.

Photo Gallery: KISS at United Center
“The End Of The Road” is certainly an ominous sounding thing to call a tour. But that’s precisely what KISS is doing as they enter their fourth decade as a band. Is it a farewell? Well, considering that they’ve used that phrase before, know one knows for certain. But if it is indeed the […]
Photo Gallery: Peter Murphy with David J. at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel
Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, located on the campus of the University of Chicago, is a most spectacular example of Gothic architecture. So there simply could not have been a more perfect backdrop for a performer whose musical genre shares the same name. Bauhaus (the band, not the art movement it took its name from) arguably created […]
Live Review and Gallery: Cher with Chic featuring Nile Rodgers at United Center
Cher/ Chic featuring Nile Rodgers United Center, Chicago Friday, February 8, 2019 Farewell season is in full swing, but like the majority of her career, Cher was well ahead of that curve when she waved goodbye 325 times from 2002 through 2005. Though she briefly encored while being “Dressed To Kill” in 2014, she’s back […]
Photo Gallery: LP at The Vic Theatre
Laura Pergolizzi is probably not a name that’s immediately familiar to even the most ardent of music fans. Even her performing moniker, LP, only nominally increases her reach. But to artist’s like Cher, Christina Aguilera and Backstreet Boys, her songwriting acumen has been long been cherished. Over the course of five albums and numerous EPs, […]
