Lit – Seven Bar At Cherokee Casino – West Siloam Springs, OK – 12/28/24

The last show of 2024 for Lit was a one-off show in probably the most unlikely location in the country along with where the stage was located. Lit closed out the year in West Siloam Springs, OK at the Cherokee Casino above one of their bars in the casino. I don’t know how the casino… Read More Lit – Seven Bar At Cherokee Casino – West Siloam Springs, OK – 12/28/24

Green Day / Rancid / The Linda Lindas – Azura Amphitheatre – Kansas City, KS – 8/20/24

Looking at it now, the timeline seems to stretch back all the way to 2021, when we first heard rumblings of a new Green Day album or as some would think, an EP. From the time that Father Of All Motherfuckers was released, there would be a few one off singles, “Here Comes The Shock”,… Read More Green Day / Rancid / The Linda Lindas – Azura Amphitheatre – Kansas City, KS – 8/20/24

Dropkick Murphys / The Bouncing Souls – Allentown Fair – Allentown, PA – 9/1/22

Opening Allentown Fair’s 170th year was Dropkick Murphys and The Bouncing Souls. Two influential bands that could’ve easily made this show a co-headline show. However, The Bouncing Souls stuck to a quick 45 minute set, and played some of their most well known songs. From “Hopeless Romantic” to “Kids And Heroes”, as the sun set… Read More Dropkick Murphys / The Bouncing Souls – Allentown Fair – Allentown, PA – 9/1/22

All Time Low / Dashboard Confessional / Gnash – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/11/18

For the first time at Musikfest’s Main Stage on the South Side of Bethlehem, general admission/standing room was allowed and was the right decision for this show. The Summer Ever After Tour featuring All Time Low, Dashboard Confessional, and Gnash would’ve been fine with seating, but for both headliners their shows usually take fans into… Read More All Time Low / Dashboard Confessional / Gnash – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/11/18

Boston To Berkeley II Tour featuring Rancid / Dropkick Murphys / The Bronx – The Mann Center – Philadelphia, PA – 8/31/21

In 2017 the Dropkick Murphys and Rancid embarked on the Boston To Berkeley tour, which proved to be one the best packaged summer tours.

Less Than Jake / Punchline – Pat Garrett Amphitheater – Strausstown, PA – 6/4/21

The very first show to photograph after the pandemic and I couldn’t have ask for a better show. Less Than Jake and Punchline, two bands that are always great to see live, and since I missed their tour date together a few years ago this was a perfect redemption. Punchline opened the show and right… Read More Less Than Jake / Punchline – Pat Garrett Amphitheater – Strausstown, PA – 6/4/21

The Pietasters – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/4/19

For the second year in a row, The Pietasters graced Bethlehem’s Musikfest with their ska, soul, punk sound that had the crowd dancing for the whole set.  Compared to last year, the stage for this year was more fitting for the Pietasters, lower to the ground and not on a hill.  This allowed for singer… Read More The Pietasters – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/4/19

Vans Warped Tour 2018 – The Pavilion At Montage Mountain – Scranton, PA – 7/26/18

In 2018 it was announced that Kevin Lyman, founder and owner of Vans Warped Tour, would be ending the festivals after 24 years.  The “punk rock summer camp” would be no more.  Warped Tour was one of it’s kind, no other traveling festival lasted this long, let alone would there ever be another one like… Read More Vans Warped Tour 2018 – The Pavilion At Montage Mountain – Scranton, PA – 7/26/18
