Rock isn’t dead. You just have to look for it. It’s certainly not played on mainstream radio, but then again, what is, right? And who cares? Billie Eilish. Catfish and the Bottlemen. Tame Impala. Cloud Nothings. Beck’s still doing his thing. I could go on and on for days but won’t. Instead, I’ll cut it

By Jon Chattma My three-and-a-half-year-old son looks at me as we prepare to leave our hotel room, and says very simply with innocent eyes, “can you tell the next people to watch it so we will come back.” Essentially, what he was telling me after our six-day stay at The Sagamore Resort on Lake George

It’s been nearly two years since electro-pop indie rockers Cherub released their second album Bleed Gold, Piss Excellence. A lot of, to put it mildly, piss has come out in the industry since. Thankfully, the Nashville duo are back to rid the world of urine and put out the music we all yearn for: originality.

[ad type=”above-image-1″] For Josh McDermitt and Jamie Brewer, co-starring in the Off-Broadway family dramedy Amy and the Orphans is a delightful departure. The former is used to interacting with blood-soaked zombies as cowardly smart party pants Dr. Eugene Porter on The Walking Dead (TWD) while the latter has made a name for herself appearing in

Predicting the Oscar nominees is a little like guessing which tattoo your drunken friend is going to get on the Sunset Strip at 3 a.m. Is it going to be predictable – something that matches with their other “inkage” – or is it going to be something totally random like Skeletor sipping Mai Tais on

’Tis the season for more Christmas songs and album releases than any of us can handle. Yep, it seems everyone has something festive to sing about. Most of the times, it’s as empty as the calories one consumes during the season. Enter John Ondrasik aka Five For Fighting and Jim Brickman, who have joined forces

In the first season of One Mississippi, the acclaimed series available on Amazon Prime, the plot followed closely to comedian Tig Notaro’s real life – changing only minor facts to differentiate from the truth. The series followed Notaro’s Los Angeles radio host Tig Bavaro, who returns home to Bay St. Lucille, Mississippi after hearing her

Westchester County, NY is a weird animal. There’s tons of bands waiting to be discovered, established acts who’ve moved here from big cities, and venues that showcase named and novelty artists. Cover bands are big in the Hudson Valley and Lower Westchester. Two venues, which happen to be connected, buck the trend and bring established

More refreshing than an iced latte at Dunkin on a hot day. More rocking than a chair along Lake George. More fun than peeing on a trampoline? Um, the latter might or might not be. I’m just taking a line from a killer song from our featured band today. Don’t get any idea kids. I’m

It’s about 2 p.m. on Friday, June 21, and Joe Scarborough’s voice is still a little hoarse. It’s coming along, but he figures it will take the weekend to return to normal. The MSNBC’s Morning Joe host stretched his vocal chords a bit more than usual the night before, holding a record release show for

As a parent of two young boys, I’m always on the prowl for new shows to get them hooked on. There’s only so much Paw Patrol I can stomach. Ya feel me? Anyway, enter Amazon Original Kids’ new animated series Danger & Eggs, which hits on both levels: funny for kids and adults. The series,

My dad’s a Broadway junkie. He’s practically been going to shows his whole life. Often times, he’ll namedrop a show he’s seen, question how many shows he’s seen (”I have all the Playbills”), and tell me on the eve of the Tony Awards that this is his “Oscars.” Just for some context – I’m a

The Westchester County, NY music scene is a weird one. There are many bands doing their things, and several killer venues – such as The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester – but for the most part, audiences seem to only come out for established big name acts and cover bands. Let’s debunk that shall we?

Sometimes in life, you just have to let your hair down and/or go for it no matter what. That sentiment is shared in countless songs from Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” (there’s no Mekhi Phifer by the way) to Icona Pop’s “I Don’t Care (I Love It).” Part of me wants to mention more songs but I’m

In light of yesterdays testimony by my fellow Yonkers native James Comey, I feel compelled to say goodbye to Donald Trump. Sure, he’s still the president and very well may be for the next four years (doubtful) but I feel compelled to sing him a swan song – figuratively anyway. Oh, and I’ll add this,

Alan Menken is rightfully so getting a lot of press for the live action adaptation of his Disney classic Beauty and the Beast. The film opens tomorrow (early shows tonight), but one of the composer’s other works is kind of going under the radar a bit. A Bronx Tale opened a few months ago on
