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

finn wolfhard at the atlantis
Finn Wolfhard and friends stopped by the iconic Atlantis venue in Washington, DC during their Objection! tour celebrating Finn's newest album release, Happy Birthday . I had the very exciting opportunity to photograph a few songs from this show, and I'm ecstatic to share the gallery!

fust at the avalon lounge
We’re nearing the end of a cozy set by North Carolina-based alt-country outfit Fust . The initially shy yet attentive audience that had plastered itself with care to the walls has since warmed up: someone has taken a front and center seat on the ground and a small group has sectioned off a dance floor, while those who know every word have finally gained the courage to mouth along in good company. Earlier on, Adeline Hotel cracked the night open with a set that left us all s

NEW COLOSSUS RECAP
GALLERY, WORDS, AND PLAYLIST BY MADDIE BARKOCY New Colossus 2025 took place from March 4-9 in NYC across 12 Lower East Side venues and featured nearly 200 artists. During those six days, I was the closest I’ll ever be to being in multiple places at one time. I managed to hop between seven venues, listen to sets by 49 artists, and drink more frozen margarita/deli coffee power combos than were ever intended for consumption. And somehow I’m still having severe FOMO over the set
Daniel Seavey in Boston
Daniel Seavey brought his Second Wind tour to Boston, MA at Big Night Live. Seavey was speechless at the crowd’s energy, belting every lyric back to him. This was his biggest audience till date and fans flew from LA to see him. One of the favorite parts of the show is when he uses a loop pedal to perform a song he has never heard before. For the Boston show it was “She will be Loved” by Maroon 5. It is clear that Seavey is only getting started and to catch him on tour, click
