Scandinavian rockers Ghost & Volbeat sucked my rocks off in Lincoln, NE. I mean, rocked my socks off. (IYKYK)

Shinedown, Papa Roach, & Asking Alexandria hit the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska Friday, March 15, 2019, and it was heavy.

The Los Angeles rock band brings a versatile, genre-defying mix of groovy blues, alternative, hard rock, and more than anything, rage. (Is rage a genre? It should be.)

Stained glass windows tower in front of us. The sounds of an organ and choir ring out. Incense is burned, a prayer is chanted, and the smell of dead human sacrifices radiates from the altar bed (just kidding on that last one).

Arson City, Screaming For Silence, SAUL, and Save the Hero joined forces to produce a lineup stacked with local favorites.

Andrew Cushing, bassist of Adelitas Way, took a moment to share his personal musical influences, underrated songs by Adelitas Way, thoughts on the current climate of the music industry, and what’s next for him and the band.

The thrash band hasn’t been to the city of Sioux Falls in some time (ten years to be exact), and the same can be said for many other parts of the Midwest as well. What’s the deal, Metallica?

Fozzy brought its Judas Rising Tour with Adelitas Way, Stone Broken, and The Stir, to Omaha’s The Waiting Room Thursday night (September 6, 2018), and it was nothing short of a party.

Don’t think summer’s gone away just yet. 90s rock bands 311 and The Offspring set out to prove just that on their co-headlining Never-Ending Summer tour.

The spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, community, and family was alive and well as Stone Sour rocked their home state of Iowa. There’s a reason Corey Taylor is legendary.

The Smashing Pumpkins’ Shiny and Oh So Bright tour hit the CenturyLink Center in Omaha Monday night (8/20), marking the reunion of three out of four original band members since the breakup in 2000.

The band Dorothy played an intimate show inside Anthem at Sioux City’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Saturday night (August 11, 2018). The crowd was small but not due to lack of talent.

Halestorm, In This Moment, and New Years Day tore up Council Bluff’s Stir Cove. A tour where the complete lineup consists of rock bands led by badass women? Sign me up.

Canadian rockers Theory of a Deadman played to a sold out crowd inside Hard Rock Sioux City’s Anthem Thursday night, August 2, 2018.

Rock and roll soul mates Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, along with party boy Rick Springfield, proved 80’s rock is still alive and well at Lincoln’s Pinewood Bowl Sunday evening.

Pop Evil won over a tough crowd, and Nickelback even had me singing along.

Halestorm is getting vicious. Front woman Lzzy Hale and guitarist Joe Hottinger share stories (and struggles) behind the new album, favorite tracks, and excitement for their upcoming female fronted tour.

Los Angeles rock band Badflower played an intimate concert at the Rye Room inside Lincoln’s own Bourbon Theatre. If you weren’t there, let me tell you about one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

English rock band Bush played to a sold-out crowd inside Hard Rock Sioux City’s Anthem, and it’s going to take some time to come back down from this cloud.
