Three Days Grace
I Prevail

PPG Paints Arena
Pittsburgh, PA

Three Days Grace made their first Pittsburgh area appearance in four years Tuesday night. The band is currently out on the road supporting their latest album Alienation which was released last August. That album brought back original vocalist Adam Gontier into the fold and the band kept current vocalist Matt Walst as well thus becoming a duel-vocalist band. Three Days Grace fans could not have asked for more as the band seems stronger than ever as evident by both the album and the recent tours together. Continue reading →

It was an evening of firsts out at OLG Stage at Fallsview last night. Queensrÿche played Niagara Falls for the first time ever and the show also marked the first time I ever saw two bands that start with the letter Q play on the same bill. To cap it off the show also marked Quiet Riot’s first show of the new year. Continue reading →

Bush played their first dates of 2026 culminating with this rocking affair at The Vine Showroom at del Lago Casino Resort in Waterloo, NY this past Saturday. The band will then hit the road full force in April for a much bigger run of dates with Mammoth. It was simply amazing that the guys were in mid tour form while being off for the last two months.

Sad news to report today as 3 Doors Down vocalist Brad Arnold passed away today February 7 at the age of 47. We will always remember the good times we had seeing the band and seeing Brad at the helm. Thank you for the music!  R.I.P.

Billy F Gibbons and the BFG Band made their way through the chill of Niagara Falls, Ontario Wednesday evening. The gorgeous Avalon Theatre was the venue as Gibbons and his solo band tore through a 90 minute set heavy on ZZ Top but not the expected hits. His solo band features drummer Chris “Whipper” Layton and bassist Mike “The Drifter” Flanigin. Continue reading →

While the single digit temps on the outside were numbing, the Seneca Allegany Casino was searing on the inside. The Event Center was the place to be as Tesla put on a scorching 100-minute set. The band is in the midst of a short run of dates to kick off the new year. It also marks the band’s 40th Anniversary of their debut album Mechanical Resonance. Continue reading →
