The Parallel Universe of Two Hard Working Musicians. Top Story - March 2018.
Weird Al Yankovic has been one of the most successful musicians in the humor genre to date. His parodies are international successes and his clever renditions have given him much deserved musical recognition. What is interesting about Weird Al, is that while you’re laughing at the lyrics, you come to realize that the music is actually quite good. No matter what song he is doing the supporting music is solid. Sometimes Weird Al used session musicians to the extent of Ray Manzarek of The Doors doing keys and helping him on the stylistic parody, "Craigslist," whose release was just after the case closing of the “Craigslist Killer.”

Portugal. The Man: Concert Review
Tuesday, February 27, 2018, my life split into two parts: Before I saw Portugal. The Man, and after. Portugal. The Man is an Alaska-based group that has been around for nine indie albums, but only recently have caught themselves adrift in the mainstream. The group went from supporting tours and performing the fine-print of festivals to selling out headlining tours in just over a year. The cause of this instant fame was none other than the release of the ubiquitous song, "Feel it Still." In just a matter of months, the catchy lyrics from "Feel it Still" have meshed the existence of indie-alternative and pop. The song ultimately won a grammy for the band and gave the world a little more hope in modern music.

Concert Review: The Anticipating Experience of Jim Brickman
One of the best experiences seeing music live is going to a concert. Several years ago, I had the distinct privilege of seeing the neo-contemporary piano artist Jim Brickman, live in concert at the Performing Arts Center in Appleton Wisconsin. He was on a mid-western tour at the time traveling to popular cities within the country. Throughout the essay, I relate my experiences and vivid memories to you.

This Feeling’s Big in 2018 Round 2: Jimmy’s NQ, Manchester (20.1.18)
Not that you should compare. Each and every single night the guys at This Feeling decide to gift us with is quite literally one of a kind. Night one of Big in 2018 in Nambucca (London) last week was just like ascending into another dimension. Every single person in that room truly entered the #Zone. But Manchester…well, it is The North. Need we say more?

The World of Music in 2018
The music industry is a weird place. It's a place of creativity, collaboration, and community because it spans internationally. Music is one of the best things that's on this planet at the moment. It becomes an everyday thing, there's music wherever you go and people can't seem to live without it.

The Best Two Weeks of My Life: Part One
I'm sure a lot of us can say "2017 was the worst year of my life." I know for sure I can say it. It's not because of politics, and not because of all the chaos that's happened. Nine days into 2017, I lost the most important person in my life. I lost my mom.

Concert Experience: Jon Bellion
Jon Bellion. Songwriter, producer, rapper, singer, performer. You get the whole package with Jon Bellion. Jon is from New York. He makes it very clear in some of his songs that he absolutely loves New York, and it seems like it has really inspired him. His albums, The Definition, Growth, Translations Through Speakers, The Separation, and The Human Condition are some of the greatest albums released in this generation. They're real music.

What It's Like Being a Concert Junkie in Canada
It's 2017 and I am sure that there are many Canadians out there that understand the struggle of being addicted to going to concerts. I can also assume that there are some people that may read this confused. So let me try and explain this situation better and easier for some.

The Best Concert Experience
When you hear a band for the very first time it can be amazing and very emotional. I say emotional because sometimes a song let alone the band themselves can touch you like nothing else can. The words they sing, relate to your thoughts and relate to you as a person.

The Boss on Broadway: A Once in a Lifetime Experience
When Bruce Springsteen announced earlier this year that he would be doing a Broadway residency, many were unsure what to expect. Would he play for fours hours like he did last year? Or would he mix things up every night?
