When I got word that I was going to be covering Journey on their most recent tour, I admit, I may have squealed at a pitch that even Steve Perry in his heyday couldn’t have hit. Memories of my second floor bedroom of my parent’s house, spinning 45’s on a record player and then on […]

Comments Off on Weird Al Yankovic – Casino NB – 07/25/15

Saturday night was another packed house at Casino NB, another chance to cross an artist off my list that I’ve wanted to see since I was a teenager, and the potential of a highly entertaining evening. Getting the chance to see “Weird Al Yankovic” live is an experience I never thought I’d get to achieve. […]

Comments Off on The Counting Crows – Casino NB – 05/20/2015

One of the most common musical names of the early nineties, just about everyone knew who the Counting Crows were at that time.  Today, not as well known, the venues are smaller, some members have changed, but some of the songs remain the same mixed with some new.  Most of the bands that have the […]

This past weekend I had the opportunity to check out one of the newest live music venue’s in town, well, new in the sense that it’s now being used by someone new.  The Tide & Boar is already one of my favourite restaurant’s in town (lord the ‘boar poutine’…any that have had it, you know […]

   Friday night at Casino NB saw Canadian rockers “The Trews” roll onto the stage to a full house of avid fans on a very, very cold January weekend.  Another winter storm on the horizon didn’t keep fans away from what would prove to be another great night of rock music at The Centre.  Starting […]

Friday night at Casino NB was one that brought me back in time, a couple decades it’s kind of scary to say, to a very loud (one of the loudest I’d been too) bar show featuring Canadian rock Trio, The Tea Party. I really like these general admission shows that the crowd on the floor […]

Comments Off on Cheap Trick – Live at Casino NB – 08/23/14

Many rock acts while touring play the same songs in the same order night after night, of course there that is perfectly normal and there is nothing wrong with that, the audience knows what to expect.  Cheap Trick, appearing live at The Centre at Casino NB tonight rarely followed the rules over the years, having some nights I’ve […]

Comments Off on Tommy Emmanuel – Capitol Theatre – 05/30/14

Having missed the show last year at the Capitol I was going to make sure that I would not miss this year a guitarist that has been named one of the greatest players of all time.  There was a buzz in the room prior to the show like we were about to see something special, […]
