Concert Reviews
Tommy Odetto @ Napa Valley Jam Cellars Ballroom – Napa Valley, CA
Opening for Mondo Cozmo, rocker Tommy Odetto provided a highly spirited set, complete with some seriously impressive guitar skills. From the start, Odetto’s energy was electric, beckoning the crowd into his performance. Spending much of the set bounding across the stage playing long, admirably difficult guitar solos, Odetto was a performer from a different time: […]

Enrique Bunbury: Un pequeño viaje musical a través de todas las etapas Las luces del Palacio de los deportes se apagaron, los gritos del público se hicieron presentes mientras los músicos que acompañan al español subían al escenario y la música comenzaba a escucharse. De traje blanco y lentes oscuros, Enrique Bunbury entró a escena […]
Hippo Campus @ Vic Theater – Chicago, IL
CHICAGO — The guys of Hippo Campus have stopped by Chicago three times in less than a year. They’ve been on a constant tour cycle that we’re sure fans are more than delighted with.

Their music brought uplifting and heartbreaking sensations to the audience and interacted very […]
Whitney @ Thalia Hall – Chicago
Chicago’s very own Whitney had a three night SOLD OUT Valentines Special at Thalia Hall. Luckily, Music Why Not had the chance to catch day two of the three night run: Valentine’s Day. This a day that emphasizes love. But in the words of frontman Julien Ehrlich “it’s no different than any other day,” because […]
Judah & The Lion @ Ace of Spades – Sacramento
CALIFORNIA — When a shaggy-haired, folky alternative band starts off their live set with a cover of T-Pain’s “Booty Work,” complete with auto-tune and twerking, you know it’s about to be a memorable set. Judah & the Lion did not disappoint this expectation, entering the stage at Ace of Spades in Sacramento with unabashed high-energy […]
Avenged Sevenfold & Breaking Benjamin @ Verizon Arena – Arkansas
Bullet For My Valentine and Breaking Benjamin started off the night with a lineup of fan favorites such as Your Betrayal, Tears Don’t Fall, I Will Not Bow, Blow Me Away, and So Cold. The Crowd was electric, and appeared to be enjoying themselves just as much as the bands playing. When Bullet For My […]
