Snippet: 

The moment that the intro for “Hell,” began to bounce around sonic space, my heart began to pound so loudly that I could hear it in my ears.  As each band member entered onto the stage and took their respective places, anticipation heightened. Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker seemed to glow. As the song begins, I feel what would be analogous to being 17 years old and jumping into my best friend’s car on a sunny day - with the windows rolled down and the music blaring. The definition of exhilarating. Tucker lets the crowd marinate in her droned and drawn-out verses, welcoming them to swim among her thoughts like, “Hell is just a signpost / When you take a certain path” and “Hell is just a place that / We can't seem to live without”.

Snippet: 

"The show felt akin to a first day of an anticipated class - everyone there seemed eager to be there; eager to learn; eager to take stimulus in and process it. Adrianne makes it seem easy as she is more than able to reach far down into the depths of our psyche, stirring something more than a simply a feeling. Her authenticity, and her emotive, open spirit invites the listener to meet their thoughts where they are, and calls for the listener to be as equally soft and forgiving to themselves and those that have once hurt them. She reminds the listener with every song sung, that perfection is never the key, but rather, opening ourselves up to feeling something is the goal. Her songs remind us that sometimes change is beautiful and sometimes change is grotesque and difficult. But the reminder is necessary, and I am convinced that the level of depth and authenticity in her communication is something that we are yearning for in today's overly saturated, content-driven society."

Snippet: 

"The Drive-By Truckers brought their fiery blend of rock, politics, and Southern storytelling to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in a show that was both deeply felt and relentlessly loud. Though anchored by the weighty narrative arc of Southern Rock Opera, the set offered moments of nuance, surprise, and emotional clarity that reminded the audience why this band still matters—maybe more than ever."
