- REVIEW: The Kid LAROI’s “A Perfect World Tour” in Boston
The Kid LAROI arrived into Leader Bank Pavilion Tuesday night for what turned out to be a really great show at one of Boston’s best outdoor spots. The waterfront setting alone set the tone before a single note played, and LAROI made sure the night lived up to it. The production was minimal yet futuristic,…
- Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter Unite Two Generations of Pop on “Bring Your Love”
It’s a tale as old as time: a hot blonde enters the music scene, presents herself as a boundary-pushing provocateur, and cements herself in Hollywood history. Only an elite few have come to accomplish such a task, and now, they’re joining forces. After an undeniably dazzling performance on the Coachella main stage this past April,…
- MIKA Welcomes Boston to His Poetic Resistance of Weirdos on Night One of the ‘Spinning Out Tour’
Tuesday night at House of Blues Boston felt different from the moment you walked in. The crowd was speaking French. And Italian. And a handful of other languages that made it clear this wasn’t a typical local Wednesday night out. People had clearly traveled far for this one, and MIKA gave them every reason to…

- Football Pads, Pictionary, and a Mosh Pit: MARIS at Fete Lounge Providence
Providence, RI might not be the first city that comes to mind on a national tour itinerary, but MARIS made it clear Thursday night that her fans don’t care about geography. The crowd at Fete Lounge included people who had driven in from as far as Portland, Maine, three hours each way for a Thursday…
- Sarah Kinsley Makes the Fleeting Feel Timeless at a Packed Royale Boston
There are “performers”, and then there are performers. Sarah Kinsley made clear which category she belongs to within the first few minutes of Sunday night’s sold-out show at The Royale in Boston. Charlie Burg opened the evening and warmed up a crowd that arrived ready. By the time Kinsley took the stage, the room was…
- REVIEW: Calum Scott Bridges the Gap Between Artist and Audience at Boston’s Orpheum
Calum Scott turned Boston’s Orpheum Theatre into something far more intimate than its size would suggest on April 25, as his “Avenoir Tour” unfolded like a shared emotional diary between artist and audience. From the moment he stepped onstage, there was a sense that this wouldn’t just be a concert, it would be a conversation. One of…
- EXCLUSIVE: Stephen Dawes Talks Heartbreak, Growth, and His New Single ‘Stay’
Stephen Dawes sits with the ache of holding onto what’s slipping away in his new alt-pop single “Stay.” Co-produced with Dan Gleyzer and co-written with Rollo, the track builds on the emotional depth of his previous single “Reputation” with a darker, more textured sound. We caught up with the singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer to discuss…
- Olivia Rodrigo’s Never Been Happier in ‘Drop Dead’
Olivia Rodrigo has been hurt. She’s been betrayed, belittled, & broken up with – and she’s got the records to prove it. “GUTS” and “SOUR,” her four-letter freefalls into heartbreak that won her three GRAMMY awards and countless other accolades, are a thing of the past; now, everything’s coming up roses for Rodrigo. At least,…
