The Avalon Ballroom at Fallsview Casino Resort came alive to the sights and sounds of Collective Soul Thursday evening. Having seen the band a few times in the past, I can safely say this was the best sounding show I’ve seen from the band from Atlanta, Georgia. Continue reading

In less than 10 years, the four-piece progressive groove metal wrecking machine known as JINJER have carved their very own place in the heavy metal landscape and are poised to go even further in 2019 and beyond. Hailing from Donetsk, this Ukrainian musical oddity formed in 2009 but consider the official start of the band with the addition of the incredible vocalist and femme fatale, Tatiana Shmailyuk, in 2010. Since then, JINJER have been nominated and won the Best Ukranian Metal Act award for Best Ukrainian Metal Band multiple times. Continue reading

The last time Tom Keifer played Niagara Falls he was being lowered from the ceiling while playing the piano for what still remains today as Cinderella’s biggest hit “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone)”. Oddly enough that was in 1989, some thirty years ago. Friday evening he finally returned to the Falls with his new band the Tom Keifer Band. I don’t know if he had any idea this is the same building he played all those years ago. Continue reading

Mickey Thomas joined Jefferson Starship in 1979 and immediately jumped in and recorded the album Freedom at Point Zero. That album produced the hit single “Jane” which climbed to #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. From there Thomas and Jefferson Starship would crack the top 40 a few more times before the rug was pulled out from under. Continue reading

The 90-minute performance was in support of the band’s latest effort Attention Attention which was released last year. Continue reading
