Del Water Gap chases the chimera…all the way to Philadelphia

“Philly is a second home,” Del Water Gap explains to a crowd of a couple thousand, on a cold Saturday night. Following the release of his third album, Chasing The Chimera, and returning for the first time in a handful of years, it seems he’s more than glad to be back. The setlist was packed with new fan favorites, like lead single “How To Live” and “Small Town Joan of Arc,” off his latest album. He pointed out the origin of “Ghost in the Uniform” being that of a Covid-era si

Twenty One Pilots “Breach” Tour

During the months of September and October 2025, I made my way to areas of the country I've never even thought of in order to catch a few stops of Twenty One Pilots' Breach tour. If you know me, you know I've spent the past 10 years traveling up, down, and around to see this band perform because one show of any Twenty One Pilots tour is just not enough. The visual production never ceases to amaze - animations dancing throughout amphitheater screens and lighting cues timed

in the spotlight - aricel

Aricel DuBois ’ second DIY EP release, Brown Eyes at Night , isn’t interested in appealing to an audience who seeks a “methodized-put-together-clean look”. It’s for listeners who seek to present themselves, to find others, who are uncut, raw– sometimes even messy. With one month since her release and days away from her next live performance, I got to sit down with Aricel and hear all about her thought process that isn’t completely translated in through this project. Thank

Back in December of last year, I had a chat with Dillon Basse, the frontman of the Florida-based band Flipturn. I attended an Indie Showcase Night at Mocama Coffee House in Fernandina Beach, where Dillon performed an acoustic set with his mom, Amy. The next day, I met up with him at Amelia Island Coffee, a cute coffee shop in the area, which I soon learned was one of the places the members of Flipturn used to meet in high school to work on their music. A lot of time has passe
