Concert Review: Music at the Mansion at The Wyeth-Tootle Mansion, St. Joseph, MO 12/29/12
Music is a form of art so it makes perfect sense for a concert to be in a museum right? Well, maybe not perfect sense but I feel it does fit quite well. The high ceilings and classic architecture complimented … Continue reading

Concert Review: Two Piece Animator at Cafe Acoustic in St. Joseph, MO 12/29/12
The first show for a band is pretty rough. You’ve got those first day of school-type jitters and you can’t help but wonder if you’re ready. Thoughts of cold feet enter your mind and every little mistake will make you … Continue reading
The Best of…. Jason Collett: a greatest hits type collection
I’ve dug Jason Collett’s music for years now. I can pinpoint the first time I heard him. It was at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS as I prepared for what happened to be my favorite show of all time; … Continue reading

Concert Review: Aaron Blumer at The First Ward in St. Joseph, MO 12/23/12
Aaron Blumer may have learned a harsh lesson at The First Ward on December 23rd. The rare Sunday show was a great opportunity to play because most people would have the next day, Christmas Eve, off from work. It was … Continue reading

Concert Review: The VooDoo Babies / Alice / Drew Ames at The First Ward in St. Jospeh, MO 12/22/12
The night was a wild card. It really could have ended up many different ways. With a large group of musicians all getting together, a ton of people and the frenzied feeling of being just a few days before Christmas there was a lot … Continue reading
Concert Review: Missouri Homegrown / Jerkface at The First Ward in St. Joseph, MO 12/21/12
It was billed as a prize fight but to be honest it was a bit of a mismatch. The differences between the two bands squaring off at the First Ward on December 21st were vast. Jerkface is a loose Cali-Ska-Punk … Continue reading
Concert Review: The Woodpile at Magoons in St. Joseph, MO 12/20/12
Magoon’s is the perfect place for under-appreciated acts to play. It’s an old bar in the old part of town, surrounded by desolate lots and darkness during nights. The warm neon glow of beer signs were especially inviting on this cold, … Continue reading
