June 19 - July 15Okee dokee folks… The Jefferson Airplane was one of the best bands to come from the Summer Of Love/Woodstock era. Though they are down to three surviving members, you still have the chance to see two of them in concert. Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady formed Hot Tuna in 1969 as a side project while […]
Okee dokee folks… Back in the ‘70s I used to read Creem and Circus Magazine cover to cover. We didn’t have the internet, no MTV, nor any constant source of information about performers. Most of the featured and advertised bands I was already a fan of, but there were a few that I do remember […]

Henry Rollins walked on stage at the Met, wrapped the mic cord around his fist, leaned in, and said, “I’ve been waiting three years to do this show.” The sold-out Tuesday night crowd went wild. We sat back in our chairs, and the barrage of words began. You may know Henry (as he is known […]

Ice blanketed the sidewalk on a cold February night as I navigated the treacherous path to the Firehouse Theater in Newport. Water fell and dotted my glasses as I opened the door and stepped inside the classic building that in 1999 was repurposed as a blackbox-style theater and has been home to performances of comedy […]
Michael J. Schiavone (1982-2022), fondly referred to as Mike or Mikey, passed away unexpectedly on February 28, 2022. The obituary written for his funeral services describes music as “his world,” a point reflected in his ever-present and positive impact on the music community in RI. The first band he belonged to was called Demon Spawn. […]

Okee dokee folks… Blue Oyster Cult fans converged on The Cabot Theatre in Beverly, MA on Saturday, March 5 to experience a 50-year celebratory show of the band Blue Oyster Cult (BOC).
