I will admit, the East Coast gets some really cool shows. It’s very rare I am jealous of the West Coast when it comes to concerts. However, once and awhile a good show or tour pops up that almost gets me to buy a plane ticket and soak up the West Coast sun. This time… Read More Sherwood / Tyson Motsenbocker / Fialta – Analog Cafe – Portland, OR – 7/19/16

After the Neshaminy Creek Brewing Anniversary show I made my way into the city to catch a band I have been listening to since middle school, Eve 6. I, like millions of others, grew up in the 90’s.
