Daily ticket stories
On June 4th, 2011 I pulled into Ohio’s Blossom Music Center for the second of a little two-night Phish run. This was my first time at the venue and I was pleased to find that the parking area was nothing but lawn and trees with not an inch of asphalt in sight…
On June 3rd, 1995 I went to see Ian Anderson at Massey Hall in Toronto. It was a pretty unique setting for the Jethro Tull frontman; rather than leading one of the many lineups of his ever-morphing legendary rock band the singer/songwriter/flautist/everythingist was fronting a New Age ensemble in support of his recent album Divinities…
Clapton delivered a quality blues show top-to-bottom. The guy really is one of the greats of the genre, there’s just no denying it…

The Tulip Fest used to be an excellent little addition to Ottawa’s wide offering of annual music…
In the Spring of 2009 I made my first-ever trip to The Netherlands. With nothing to do and a lot to see I did a little research and invested in an Amsterdam citypass, basically a coupon booklet for tourism hotspots…

I believe this might mark the last time I saw Drums & Tuba, a quirky-by-definition trio that first came to my attention at an Ani DiFranco concert on this exact date in ’99…
It’s great to see a band when they are still on top of their game, even if they’ve been there for a quarter of a century. I don’t know how it took so long for me to jump on this band’s wagon but I will definitely be seeing Pearl Jam again and again and as often as I can from now on…
I love classic cars, I’m really into movie memorabilia, and I’m a sucker for a good museum visit so with a few days to kill in Miami I was happy to dedicate a full afternoon to the Dezer Collection…
