The best thing about living along the megalopolis of I-95 cities is the close proximity and ease of travel to each other! Here are the best upcoming shows that I have spotted for your viewing pleasure! If you go, please let me know how the shows were. I'll review as many as I make it to!
FEBRUARY 13th PITTSBURGH
Allen Stone @ Stage AE

FEBRUARY 16th BALTIMORE
Blind Pilot with Cotton Jones@Ram's Head Live.
Although it is going to require me to take a day off, I'm going to head down to Baltimore.
Two reasons: I saw them in November at Union Transfer and it was awesome, so I must go again. The second reason is a boneheaded one. I picked up their fantastic poster by drummer Ryan Dobrowski, and the band was hanging out afterwards and signing merch. I was having a fantastic time just chatting it up with the band and I neglected to get the 6th signature from Luke Ydstie! So, before I get this great poster framed.. I need to get the last John Hancock!

FEBRUARY 19th PITTSBURGH
Yacht @ STAGE AE I have no idea what to expect from these guys. I am annoyed and intrigued all at the same time by their single 'Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire)'. Damn it's catchy! It gets worse while watching their tiny desk concert! I despise skinny jeans and nerd fashion, so consider how I feel after watching this for just a minute. But I can't stop! Will they be any good live? Who knows, but I think it's worth a shot.
FEBRUARY 22nd PHILADELPHIA

FEBRUARY 23rd - WEST CHESTER, PA
Devil Makes Three + Brown Bird @ The Note
When the Devil Makes Three toured last fall to support the live album Stomp & Smash I was so bummed the closest they came was North Jersey, and it was a night I was on the other side of PA. It was a 180 degree emotional swing when I found out they were coming back and bringing with them the best duo I've seen in several years.
Check out the review of Stomp & Smash or the September concert review for Brown Bird and interview with MorganEve Swain of Brown Bird!
