Kurt Vile and the Violators, Chastity Belt Kurt Vile revels in meandering. If you’re one of those folks that thinks people looking like they’re trying super hard is profoundly uncool, Vile is your guy. The indie singer/songwriter/guitarist has built up a fanbase with crafting fuzzy guitar rock songs that seem in no hurry to get anywhere, a stoned-out extension of classic rock songs with slackjaw vocal delivery. Make sure to get to the Knit early as Seattle mid-tempo indie standouts Chastity Belt open the show (and the ladies make music that’s - for my money - roughly 1,000x b...

Henry Rollins Even subtracting Henry Rollins’ card-carrying membership in the Punk Rock Legends Club courtesy of his stint fronting SoCal pioneers Black Flag, you’d be hard-pressed to hit one of his spoken-word performances and not walk away utterly entertained. Part stand-up comedy, part political diatribe, part travel log and part oral memoir — Rollins’ non-musical stage shows can inspire you to attack life with a whole new attitude, or at least to flaunt your inner attitude a little more proudly. His global travels have given Rollins a perspective far more wide-rangi...

Stevie Nicks There is only one woman who has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Her name is Stevie Nicks.

The Flaming Lips At this point, we know what to expect when the Flaming Lips play live. And that is not a knock. The psychedelic pop rock band always delivers a wondrous live show with elements that fans already adore. You’re going to get the small handful of songs that are stone-cold cult classics (“Do You Realize?,” “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Part 1,” “Race for the Prize,” “Fight Test”) and the rest of the tunes that may feel more like filler will be greatly boosted by emotive theatrics from singer Wayne Coyne, a veritable rainbow ...

Buddy Guy It almost warps your sense of time and space to realize how long blues legend Buddy Guy has been held up as one of the greatest guitarists alive. It’s not that he’s held up alongside legends like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Steve Ray Vaughn, Jeff Beck and Keith Richards, he’s been around long enough that those players were influenced by Guy and his ultra-versatile Chicago blues style. The 85-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has never stopped shredding (he was still playing over 125 shows a year pre-COVID), and getting to see him ply his trade is a tr...
