Coachella Weekend 2 Review/Weekend Edition
Coachella Weekend 2 It’s been a week since Weekend 2, and I’m still exhausted. I caught part or all of almost 50 acts over the weekend. The weather sat squarely in the mid-90’s all throughout. Since I’ve already detailed the festival itself, here are some of my personal highlights, and a few pics below I…

Midweek Check-In
JarFive (Midweek Edition) Frank Ocean’s set at Coachella Weekend 1 – Much has already been written about Frank Ocean’s set on Sunday evening. Weirdly enough, most media coverage I’ve read has glossed over the issues, instead highlighting that he had a sprained ankle, his brother passing away in 2020, and him being forced to end…

Coachella – Part 1/Format Festival/Blue Note Jazz Festival
With Coachella just a few weeks away, I’m devoting three separate posts (one for each day) to what is still considered the most popular music festival. First, a few general things about this lineup.

Back to Blogging – 2023 Edition
It’s been a year since my last blog, which was on April 15, 2022. So what happened? Why did I stop before live music really got going? I don’t really have a good excuse, so I’ll give you a bad one: I got bombarded with live music festivals. Shortly, after my last blog, I went…

Festivals, New Music, and a Bandsplaining Podcast
Ohana Fest Ohana Festival in Dana Point, CA, announced the lineup for their three day event later this fall. If you’ve never been, this event is relatively smaller, with two main stages. If I remember correctly, there wasn’t overlap between acts, so you can catch everyone if you’re willing to pivot between stages. A few…

He was replaced on Wednesday by Swedish House Mafia (SHM) and The Weeknd. Since SHM was already on the lineup, previously without an assigned day,…
