Regardless of the type of music you think you like, East’s energy has something for everyone and is a performer you can’t afford to miss. Check out our full gallery of shots from the night.
A small venue doesn’t allow for a large audience; that’s self-evident. They also make it hard for an artist to hide behind distance. The 9th Ward, which recently hosted Mary Lambert and Mal Blum - and other small venues - hold a special place of importance. They provide a unique space, one often with a story, and only allow a select few to wander in at one time.
Chris Emerson aka What So Not stopped by the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. and threw down. Exactly a year after his last appearance, D.C. was ready for more great vibes. With an opening DJ set by Chrome Sparks, the dimly lit room set the mood for chill and mellow beats. Check out our full gallery of shots and be sure to catch him on tour.

Arkells eased into the energy of the evening with their driving track “Relentless” off 2018’s 'Rally Cry.' For most bands, a song like this would have left the energy nowhere to go but crashing down—but Arkells are not most bands, and their fans are not most crowds.
All Them Witches has a sound deeply rooted in both blues and classic metal: stripped-down, driving rhythms, downtuned, fuzzed-out bass, huge, shredding guitar riffs—all matched by haunting vocals. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
Dawes' live show remains the group’s true apotheosis: a rowdy, rollicking good time that wanders at will through their 10-year, 6-album career while retooling old favorites, debuting unheard tracks, and pulling the crowd together in anthemic sing-alongs. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
HEALTH. Bone-shuddering bass. Pitch blackness punctuated by staccato strobes searing freeze-frame scenes in your brain. HEALTH. Intense darkwave/industrial club vibes with velvet-soft vocals crescendoing to a discordant shriek. Do I have your attention now? Good. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
The Suitcase Junket may have welcomed more people into the studio, but live it’s still a solo affair—which isn’t to say he doesn’t get a little help. With a quick wit and wry smile, Lorenz pulls the crowd in and makes them as much a part of the performance as himself. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
From the shimmering opening chords of “Bottle It Up” to the galloping closing notes of “Troubled End,” the show was a rare and special one in my books and I can’t wait to see where Jade Jackson goes from here.
My first night at the Ryman was also my first time seeing Old Crow Medicine Show in several years, and while the lineup had inevitably changed, their rebel spirit was still there - from the opening breakneck pace of “Tear It Down” to the final ephemeral notes of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”
Rodrigo y Gabriela brought their signature propulsive performance to bear song after song—punctuated by quieter moments of conversation where both ruminated on the individual and collective journeys that brought them to this point. Check out our full collection of shots from a great show.

Music can transcend its utility to become a powerful weapon, and grandson understands how to wield it in the service of the righteous anger of their message while balancing the entertainment of the crowd. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
When Metalheads descended upon Merriweather Post Pavilion on a Tuesday night for Slayer’s “final tour", in true fashion, the band literally chose to go down, or up for that matter, in hot shooting flames. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.

The spectacle of blazing lights and smoke matched perfectly with the sonic hailstorm the band brought to the stage. In recent years, 9:30 Club has shied away from booking many heavy bands, and Architects’ set was the perfect re-introduction of a raging mosh pit to the venue’s storied floor.
