steve lacy sells out dc
This past Sunday, I was enamoured by the incredibly talented Steve Lacy and his sold out performance in Washington, DC., the 9th show on a long list of his current "oh yeah" tour stops. It's been a bit since I've been able to photograph a show as fun as this one, the atmosphere within The Anthem was electric :0 Feel free to glance lovingly at my photo gallery from this show below - and catch Steve Lacy in your city before it's too late! words + photos by eva
she’s green flourish in dc
About a week ago, I took the trip down south to one of my all time favorite Washington, DC venues - DC9. This club is near and dear to my heart, my fondness only growing after experiencing a sold out performance by Minneapolis natives she’s green. I’d consider myself a she’s green frequent flyer - the swallowtail EP has been on repeat in my rotation since its July release - so being able to catch the band on a headlining tour run was electrifying. Sneak a glimpse into the sh
Cannons in Washington, DC
A few months ago, I had the incredible opportunity of photographing the beautifully ethereal Cannons on their co-headlining tour with Bob Moses in Washington, DC. Taking over The Anthem, Cannons blew the entirety of the theater away with their stunning performance. Take a look at my gallery below to experience some major FOMO photos by eva
inji electrifies washington, dc
About 2 years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to photograph rising pop-star Inji at The Atlantis in Washington, DC. About 2 weeks ago, I had the same amazing opportunity to photograph her at the 9:30 Club; Atlantis' larger sister venue. Both performances blew my expectations out of the water - the ecstatic energy Inji brought to the stage flowed throughout the audience who returned it right back to her. Singing, dancing, laughing, yelling, and everything in-between flooded

a review of the maine's joy next door
The Maine’s Joy Next Door feels like laying a picnic blanket out somewhere between nostalgia for one’s younger days and gratitude for the present moment. The band contemplates aging amid the triumph of finally becoming “sort of famous” after nearly twenty years together. The acoustic chords on the opening track, “Green”, move with the breeziness of blades of grass, guiding the listener into thirty-nine minutes of clean, sunny instrumentals. I hear hints of country twang on tr
close personal friend, Audrey Hobert, visits the theatre of living arts
Fresh snow coated the street leading up to the Theatre of Living Arts, as the staff shoveled the powder and dusted off the marquee. Eccentric and relatable, the girls’ girl of all girls’ girls, the name in black cap letters read Audrey Hobert. A mix of metallic Mary Janes and Reebok Club Cs footprinted the salty sidewalk as groups of friends huddled under a communal scarf. They had lined up since before doors, despite the below-freezing temperatures. They were eager to hang o
laundry day in philadelphia
New York natives Jude, Sawyer, Henry, and Henry – best known as Laundry Day – brought their latest album to Philadelphia’s The Foundry at The Fillmore. The group celebrated the release of Earworm, a tight ten-track pop rock album with support from WhatMore. “R U READY?” the album’s first song and aptly, the first song of the set began the night. Other new album favorites included “LITTLE MISS JADED”, “APEROL SPRITZ”, and a performance of the lead single "SUPERMODEL”. For the
the aces in philadelphia
Celebrating their latest disco-pop album, Gold Star Baby, The Aces return to Philadelphia Adorned in leather jackets and hot pink feather boas, The Aces took the stage at The Theatre of Living Arts. Bringing disco-pop back (as if it ever left), the four-piece group’s musical evolution continues in this latest project. “This album is all about joy, confidence, even cockiness, and sex appeal. We feel now that we’re grown women, we can explore those things in a way that feels
royel otis at franklin music hall
Australian indie duo Royel Otis kicked off the meet me in the car tour following the release of their album hickey at Philadelphia’s Franklin Music Hall. For fans, there was no better way to spend their Friday night. Just like the first track on their new record, “i hate this tune” launched the set, with the majority of the setlist featuring songs from Royel Otis’ new album, hickey. Crowd favorites like “who’s your boyfriend,” “moody,” and “car” were played, among other deep
in the spotlight : julia wolf
New York-raised, LA-based Julia Wolf has been taking the world by storm with her DIY mentality and gothic approach to slice-of-life musings. Underground photographer Melody Myers had the opportunity to take portraits of this rising star and we’re so excited to share more about Julia Wolf and her work. Wolf wears her heart on her sleeve as an artist. Though she has a specifically crafted aesthetic world around her music, it all stems from a very true part of herself, honoring
let's talk about the band Lookers!
We’re so excited about Providence, Rhode Island-based Lookers and their debut release Deeper, out now via Almost Ready Records! Tracks like “Animal” and “Bury You Under” are especially resemblant of The Breeders, with sturdy and expressive talk-singing, sticky textures, and atmospheric distortion that focus you in on each song’s driving heartbeats. “Alone” ushers in a different tone, with jangly instrumentation and light, airy melodies that allow lead vocalist Muggs Fogarty’
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
Get Off My Phone by The Driver Era
Typically coined as an alt-pop duo, The Driver Era’s first offering of the new year “Get Off My Phone” is certainly a call out to the band’s ability to find that perfectly interesting balance of alternative and pop through the use of personal lyricism, gritty vocals, and a chorus that bounces with energy. The track’s introduction is steady and serene with smooth isolated vocals accompanied by simple, rhythmic guitar chords. Traction is soon swiftly gained as the song begins t
S4th and Wythe by Drive-In
Drive-In is a musical project born from the brilliantly creative mind of Brooklyn-based Alessandra (Ally) Rincon. Ally is an artist that I will always jump at the opportunity to gush over, and she has truly given us something special through Drive-In. Recently making a striking return with her new single “S4th and Wythe,” Ally takes listeners along the journey of discovering how to grow after a break up. Co-written by up-and-coming singer-songwriter Ross Newhouse, “S4th and W
