Singer Songwriter BabyJake brings the fun to The Independent San Francisco

October 19, 2023

Nashville based singer songwriter BabyJake brought the fun to San Francisco with a tour stop at The Independent. His tour Aren’t We Ever Gonna Be More Than Friends? named after his third LP which was released this summer has been packing venues across the US. He comments about the tour “There’s nothing more genuine to me than being on stage performing my own songs that somehow became popular enough to wrangle up a crowd, but I can’t really fathom the thought of headlining an entire North America tour… But here I am announcing an entire North America tour… So put your cowboy boots & bell bottoms on & get ready to get rowdy, cause I can’t help but ask – Aren’t We Ever Gonna Be More Than Friends?” One thing is certain you can’t deny his genuine love for performing and he gives everything he’s got to the crowd and they happily reciprocate with cheers, dancing and singing along.  The energy reverberates through the audience and quickly gains momentum with each and every song.

October 16, 2023

There is no doubt that Rock n Roll is alive and thriving when you have Italian rockers Måneskin on stage. They eat, sleep, breathe rock n roll at 150% and their shows back up that claim.  Måneskin brought their RUSH World Tour to the Oakland Arena this past weekend and it was nothing short of AMAZING! The crowd was fueled and ready to rock, no opener needed to get them going. The band walked out behind the curtains and began performing Don’t Wanna Sleep and when the curtains dropped, cheers and screams erupted throughout the arena.  The ROCK show begun and there was no slowing down from that moment until the end. It was filled with high energy, excellent musicianship and the band not only play off each other but incredible crowd interaction.

Bishop Briggs brings powerful performance to The Warfield in San Francisco

October 12, 2023

It was a hot June day in 2016 where we first saw Bishop Briggs perform live. She was performing in the small DJ tent at Live 105’s BFD and was one of the main artists that we were there to cover.  She blew us away that first time and we knew she was heading to the top! Over the years, we witnessed her perform at BottleRock, Fox Theater and many more venues, including the legendary Fillmore in SF where we were able to interview her. You can watch that 2017 interview here. I remember telling her how her music was an instant mood elevator and it still rings true today. We caught Bishop Briggs perform last night with MisterWives on The Don’t Look Down Tour at The Warfield in San Francisco. It was as she visualized, creating the best amazing night. She hit the stage with Art of Survival and the crowd went wild.  Her charismatic energy sparked the stage and ignited us with true passion. She gives so much of herself, in each and [Read More]
