Concert Central

Maroon 5 played practically their entire second album in a short, 75 minute set headlining at Comcast Center. A few songs from their first album found their way as well including the main set closer She Will Be Loved and their very last song, Sweetest Goodbye. They are one of those bands that [...]

Counting Crows failed to impress on this outing, fronting for Maroon 5. Seeing them in the same spot six years ago (co-headlining but really opening for John Mayer) Counting Crows blew me away. This time around, it all seemed very familiar: the short set, the pretty boy headliner. They opened with a long, elegiac [...]

We only caught the last two songs of her set, a Beatles cover and one of her own, due to hitting traffic on 95 near Gillette Stadium, where Bruce Springsteen was playing tonight. Not much to comment except her performance seemed artful.

He’s smarmy, this one. Everything about his set was overdone, from the fist pumping, the come hithers to the [...]

Catie Curtis brought her phenomenal singer-songwriter talents to Natick for a homecoming performance of sorts. The Center for Arts in Natick is an intimate stage to play on, where the artists just walk into the room and on to the stage. Accompanied by Kevin Barry, who has played with Paula Cole and Mary [...]

Chris Trapper strapped on the guitar and launched into a 45 minute warm-up for Catie Curtis with the heartfelt Letter to the Middle of the World. Armed with a raspy, unpolished voice and slight stutter, the lanky performer quickly warmed the crowd to him, wrapping each song in a story. Boston Girl [...]

Swarming to TD Banknorth Garden, Bon Jovi was the like the Pied Piper of white trash. Rarely have I seen so many fake boobs / fake tans / bleach blondes in one place. But it wasn’t just the aging sorority girls that came to party. The crowd also had its share of [...]
