SiriusXM’s Coffee House Presents Matt Hartke and Matt Costa The City Winery Haymarket Lounge Boston, Massachusetts July 14, 2019 Photos & Review by Michael LaFleche It was a hot Sunday night in Boston and what better way to cap off the weekend with some musicians of real, soulful and unabashedly good music. That’s what the City Lounge provided with cheerful and heartfelt music of Matt Harke and the upbeat folk rock stories of Matt Costa and his excellent band. Matt Harke was first up, alone with his guitar on stage; but once he started playing his soulful tunes we were all together with him hangingRead More →

DORO / METAL CHURCH May 9th 2019 The Chance Theater Poughkeepsie, New York Photos & Review by Frank Piercy I realize that I am a bit behind in writing this review and getting these pictures done. Unfortunately (well not really unfortunately), I had my ass kicked earlier in the week by a last minute trip down to Columbia Maryland to cover the 80s metal fest M3 along with 23 bands, 3 days… plus pre parties… and after parties. I barely had time to recuperate before making the drive after work to the Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie. There was no way I was going to missRead More →

STYX Palace Theater Stamford, Connecticut May 23, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy Wow… Is a word that I have been using a lot lately, but it fits. It was a Thursday night and it was less then an hours drive from work and an hours drive home and better yet still in CT. I was off to The Palace Theater in Stamford Connecticut to catch the magic of the pioneering progressive rock sounds of Styx. This was not the first time I had seen them perform, but it was the first time I had gotten to shoot the show. Which was interesting, TheRead More →

URIAH HEEP Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, Connecticut May 16, 2019 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It was evening of music that celebrated the past 50 years of Uriah Heep music. That’s right, 50 years. Uriah Heep started out in 1969, the players have evolved through the years. Guitarist and founding member Mick Box had remained a constant all these years through today. Their latest album from 2018 Living The Dream, is quite extraordinary with an early classic rock sound. Uriah Heep was the supporting band for Judas Priest and the Firepower 2019 Tour. It was set to be a historic night from heavy metalRead More →
