Journey w/ Steve Miller and Tower Of Power – Woodlands Pavilion – Spring, TX

Written by Dave Clements I certainly didn’t try to interview people as they left The Woodlands Pavilion this Friday night. I’m willing to bet, though, that if I had I wouldn’t have found these two things to be true. One, it would have taken a very long time as it was a sold out house,…


Reading a Blonde: Johnette Napolitano’s Rough Mix

Written by Samuel Barker May 21, 2014 at 12:00 PM Sometimes you’re late to the party. You arrive, the scene has broken up, only the crappy beer is left and most of the revelers have headed home. Usually, it is a bummer to roll up on, but sometimes, amongst the folks hanging until the bitter…


Paul Thorn – Dosey Doe – Spring, TX

Written by Eddie Ferranti “Ginormous” is not really a word, but it describes a few things that happened to Rose and myself recently in a good way. Upon heading to our seats upstairs at the super cool Dosey Doe Music Cafe in Conroe, Texas we spotted the headliner for the evening eating his dinner. Paul…

Written by Eddie Ferranti What goes perfectly with a nice outdoor venue, great weather, cold beer and killer good friends? How about Chuck Mead and his Grassy Knoll Boys rockabilly wonderfulness?! The Kansas native, who has hung his cowboy hat in Nashville for the past twenty years, is riding a nice musical wave right about…


Lady Antebellum, Billy Currington & David Nail – Woodlands Pavilion – Spring, TX

Written by Dave Clements I’m sure glad Lady Antebellum didn’t roll through The Woodlands the night before their scheduled show. Mother Nature was doing her thing as a strong line of thunderstorms rolled through. However, as fate would have it the nearly sold out crowd that came out this Mother’s Day Eve to see the…
