April 19, 2026

The venue, the Intimate Chapel in San Francisco, set the tone for something special. On a sold-out Saturday night, it truly was the place to be. The line wrapped around the block, and you could feel the anticipation building with every step closer to the door as fans made their way in for an evening with Maya Hawke. Inside, the venue’s stunning architecture as it was originally built as a church in early 1900s, and that sparkly disco ball hanging overhead gave it an almost dreamlike glow, an iconic setting that felt perfectly suited for what was about to unfold. With just three chairs on stage, you knew right away this wasn’t going to be a typical show, it was going to be something intimate, something magical. Maya was joined by her husband, Christian Lee Hutson, along with an amazing violinist (my apologies for not having her name) who added a beautiful layer to the performance.

January 21, 2026

Today, Roman Candle share a new song that hits hard and refuses to let go. “Can We Watch Something Happy?” arrives with an accompanying music video, delivering a fierce, high-energy surge that immediately demands your attention. Written from the perspective of vocalist Piper Ferrari’s childhood self, the song channels a storm of intrusive thoughts, compulsive prayer, and the crushing guilt of believing your own mind is something sinful. The intensity isn’t just sonic—it’s emotional. The track moves with urgency, balancing raw aggression and vulnerability in a way that feels both overwhelming and deeply real. Piper comments, “‘Can We Watch Something Happy’ is written from the perspective of my childhood self.
