DROWNING POOL December 9, 2016 Stafford Palace Theater Stafford Springs CT 5 O’Clock on a Friday and the only thing on my mind was that I was going to a Rock Show at Stafford Palace that night. Although it is well over an hour drive from home to the Stafford Palace, it is still my favorite place to see a rock show and one of my favorites to shoot at. Plenty of room to move around (unless your planted at the stage for the whole show), reasonable drink prices and fantastic staff. I have covered shows at a lot of venues about the same sizeRead More →

LYNCH MOB November 20, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut At the last minute, I decided to tag along with my brother in law to Mohegan Sun Casino. He was headed there for the triple status points that day, but I was headed there to catch a rock show in the Wolf Den. Lynch Mob is the creation of former Dokken guitarist, George Lynch. One of the best guitarists to come out of my favorite era of music, the 80’s. Along with Oni Logan on vocals, Sean McNabb on Bass and Jimmy D’Anda on drums, he was bringing the rock to the Wolf Den.Read More →

LITA FORD The Narrows Center for Performing Arts Fall River, Massachusetts November 1, 2016 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc Lita Ford brought an arena sized performance into the intimate setting of The Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, Massachusetts.

STYX Twin River Casino Event Center Lincoln, Rhode Island October 22, 2016 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc STYX took to the stage at the Twin River Event Center in front of a full house of excited classic rock fans. The room immediately transformed to a temporary world of 1970/80 something for the almost two hour set of keyboard and guitar infused classic rock.  The crowd instantaneously rose to their feet amidst the unmistakable sound of STYX. This legendary rock n’ roll band was again out on their own in the midst of a 2016 North American tour. STYX had most recently been touring summer shows with Tesla andRead More →

RETURN OF THE DREADS IN THIS MOMENT | KORN | ROB ZOMBIE September 1, 2016 Xfinity Theater Hartford, Connecticut I love a great Rock Show, but it has to be a show. I am a huge fan of Alice Cooper, 80’s W.A.S.P., Kiss, Marilyn Manson, King Diamond and Rob Zombie. A theatrical production, I feel it makes the show that much more memorable and I was excited to get to see the latest Rob Zombie tour with Korn and opening for them was a band I have seen at a couple of festivals, but from far away, and that band is In This Moment. ItRead More →

TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION August 4, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut I have to say, I was surprised to find out Texas Hippie Coalition were playing the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. Not that I should have been considering they have had the likes of Killswitch Engage, Ace Frehley, Hellyeah and not to mention Buckcherry play there in the past. I have been lucky enough to see THC a number of times over the last couple of years here in Connecticut and was excited to hear some Red Dirt Metal in the Nutmeg state once again. Alright you’re saying to yourself “Red Dirt Metal?”Read More →
