This was a night filled with folk and bluegrass that had the audience captivated throughout the night. I’m With Her returned to Chicago and closed out their winter tour at Thalia Hall. They brought along Chapel Hill natives Mipso to kick off the sold out night. Both groups put on beautiful sets with both bands joining forces at the end of the night to bring the show to a close. I’m With Her is a fantastic trio that I would consider a super group. These three ladies have come together…

Greta Van Fleet have quickly become a massive success in the industry and giving a new generation a reason to fall in love with Rock N Roll. It’s not with out criticism as well. Being a band that has burst onto the scene so rapidly, you really want to know more about them and who influenced them. Some who criticize GVF say that they are copying Led Zeppelin, but if you ever go to see them live, you will know that is not the case. Their influences span many legends…

Thom Yorke returned to Chicago for his solo tour after a very successful two night run at the United Center with Radiohead this Summer. Tuesday night’s sold out show at the Chicago Theatre was a sight to behold. Very much a departure from what you would expect from a Radiohead show. Much darker in tone and way more ambient. Thom Yorke brought along the longtime Radiohead producer, Nigel Godrich, and visual artist Tarik Barri for this tour. The tour is in support of Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes, which was released back…
