Preview: Chris Cornell of Soundgarden at The Pageant, 5.21.2013
If I didn’t know better, I’d think Chris Cornell was mugging for the camera.
No complaints from me, obviously. More photos and thoughts to come.

Jon Hardy & The Public at Off Broadway, 4.12.2013
As Andy says, Jon Hardy and the Public may be the best-dressed band in St. Louis today. There’s something about the suits that speak to the band’s sound — it’s serious, grown-up, timeless.

Lera Lynn at Plush, 4.20.2013
Opening for Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band, Nashville native Lera Lynn brought a sense of style to Plush’s stage — donning a smart black jacket and stylish black hat, Lynn looked the part of the country-tinged singer-songwriter. She put on a hell of a show, too, performing with a joyful energy rarely seen in solo performers.
Her smile and wide-eyed gaze were a perfect fit with Ritter’s on-stage demeanor, too — he couldn’t have picked a better colleague.
Lera Lynn is on Rdio — give her music a listen.

Kodaline at The Pageant, 4.25.2013
Opening for The Airborne Toxic Event, Kodaline took to a stage piled high with monitors and haze. Lights shone from behind them, creating silhouettes where musicians stood — and painting the players with ultra-saturated pinks and purples.
No matter. The quartet was charming and earnest — Stephen Garrigan repeatedly reminded the audience of the band’s name — and their music carried the same appeal. Melories snowballed into anthems, not unlike early Coldplay. Check them out on Rdio here.
