It looks like we’ve got a pretty packed week ahead of us, ladies and gents. There are plenty of options for you throughout the week, including a RIDICULOUS Friday night of options – I don’t know how we’ll make it to them all, but we’ll certainly try! For location, time and cost, click on the … More Live Music Lou’s Can’t Miss: November 8-14
Since I’ve crossed the threshold of being closer to 30 than I am to 20, I’ve done a lot of self reflection and honestly struggle with the idea. AKA, I feel really old more often than not these days. The twenty-somethings came out for this Wednesday night show at Zanzabar. And apparently that twenty-something in … More Those young things
I was blown away when I saw her in 2012 at my first ROMP. She has such a presence on stage that it’s impossible to focus on anything else. Every hair on your body is pretty much upright during the entire performance. Rhiannon Giddens is an incredibly talented musician who has pushed herself musically over … More My arm hairs are still standing a month later, thanks to Rhiannon Giddens
The Decemberists have been one of those bands that I undercover loved over a long span of time, making additions to my music library gradually over the years. I was relatively high-strung (a common thing for me, I guess) leading up to this show, especially as it the wrap-up to my string of birthday celebrations. … More The Decemberists checked every box for Iroquois’ 2015 finale
Sunday nights are tough for most people – the idea of getting ready for another week of work is pretty terrible. I’m no different. Here’s a secret: want to start off a week on a good note? Spend an evening with Willie Watson. This Sunday night of jollity took place at Headliners, of course. That … More Willie Watson is the cure for the Sunday blues

It’s been a little over a month now, so the specifics may be a little fuzzy, but I remember telling Aubrey that I wanted to write about this one. She’s been obsessed with alt-J for a few years now. We had This Is All Yours ordered pretty much as soon as it came out last year, … More Our alt-J love turned into an Indy weekend
They were one of the first unchaperoned concerts I went to as a teenager, also at an outdoor space similar to Iroquois Amphitheater (but on a New Hampshire level). I can distinctly recall belting out “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” on the way home from high school every day, and proved to myself … More Like catching up with an old friend – OAR always feels right
We spent money on some good seats for this one…and when I say good, I mean, we were front and center. For the Punch Brothers? TOTALLY worth it. We’ve seen the Punch Brothers multiple times now, but each time provides a new experience, each equally enjoyable. My last dance with the folk professionals was at … More Punch Brothers, cicadas serenade Iroquois Amphitheater
The moral of this story is pretty simple: I love outdoor events, especially musical ones. I love frolicking around the Waterfront. I love Waterfront Wednesdays. I love WFPK and everything they do. Scott Carney is a fucking performer. I’m hyped to hear this new Wax Fang stuff in the next year. I am sad that … More Sad it is over – 2015’s final Waterfront Wednesday
