Cannons performance at Fox Theater in Oakland is a highlight of 2023

October 3, 2023

As we come to the last quarter of 2023, we have had some memorable shows that we covered.  One that is a strong contender for show of the year is the Cannons show at Fox Theater in Oakland on September 30th. Cannons have been one of the bands who dominated our summer fun playlist and we were excited to catch them live. They were everything we dreamed of and even more. They brought their Heartbeat Highway Tour to the legendary venue and kicked the night off with Jane Leo and Two Another.   The venue was packed to capacity as Cannons took the stage. They arrived to loud cheers and applauds, some fans waiting all day to get up front. The set was magical and with the backdrop of the dreamy Fox Theater, it created a timeless performance.  The energy of the band was at its peak and the audience reciprocated with their devotion and appreciation for such a grand performance. Check out photos of the set from our Rockin Ryan:   Cannons are off [Read More]

Ron Gallo is a must see out on his Foreground Music Live Tour

September 19, 2023

Mondays can always be hard to get through, but not when you know you are catching Ron Gallo’s show at night. We couldn’t wait for the day to end so we could find ourselves at one of our favorite venues, The Brick and Mortar in San Francisco. The night was even better when we found out that Life Size Models were opening the show. We were excited to check out their new music and they kicked the night off with a high energy set. It was a fantastic night and Ron Gallo put on a performance that highlighted his edgy blend of alt-punk rock vibes. He is like a punk rock Bob Dylan and I am here for it ALL! His music is so damn catchy and you can’t hold yourself still. You need to MOVE and feel the energy that he brings to life. His lyrics are amazing as he delivers  the raw truth commentary on some of today’s topics. We need more Ron Gallo and everyone needs Ron Gallo in their lives! Check [Read More]

James Bay returns to the Fox Oakland for an unforgettable performance

September 19, 2023

  Saturday night had us front and center at the James Bay show in Oakland at the iconic Fox Theater.  It was exciting to catch his headline show amid his tour with The Lumineers. This show was exactly what we needed after spending the day celebrating the life of my sister whom we lost to mucosal melanoma.  It was a day filled with insurmountable emotions and our souls needed healing. What better way to recover, than to immerse ourselves into the music of James Bay. The night started with an emotional stirring set by rising artist Abby Holliday. Her music conveys the raw emotion of life and loss and we were soaking it all in. James hit the stage and kicked it right off with a rousing and blazing performance of Best Fake Smile. Our tattered and torn hearts were instantly on the mend as James’ vocals filled our hearts with exactly what we needed. The set was perfect and included the mix of old and new.
