    Taylor Swift has yet again given to a great cause. The award-winning singer/songwriter is well known for her generosity and this time, the recipient was Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

  • Chris Young Expected to Make a Full Recovery

    On Thursday night, Chris Young hosted his annual fan club party with a crowd of over 500 fans on the General Jackson showboat. After the party, he went home and started preparing a late-night dinner. He sliced his hand open with a kitchen knife and after an ER visit, was hopeful that he would be well enough to perform on Saturday at the CMA Music Festival. Yesterday, those hopes were dashed when he found that he had cut tendons and immediate surgery would be necessary. Released from the hospital this morning, Young is expected to be able to return to guitar playing (and full function) after physical therapy and rehab on the hand.

  • Concert Review: The Dopeness in Jersey City, 6/6/14

    Though I've performed music in Jersey City before, I'd never gotten a true sense of the city's tight-knit art scene until I visited last night for a three-act show at the Dopeness, a Mexican restaurant with a performance space in the back room. As Steve Donahue of Young Legs described Jersey City to me, it's like "Brooklyn, but less smelly and terrifying." Ever since neighboring Hoboken became too stiflingly gentrified to support an arts community (its legendary venue Maxwell's closed last year), Jersey City has proven itself to be a worthy alternative for Hudson County, and all of North Jersey for that matter.
