The Rescues - Le Poisson Rouge 9/28/2026

  A little late with the one. 

  The California trio The Rescues performed a concert at LPR-Le Poisson Rouge, in New York which included many of their earlier songs and also on songs form their Tony nominated score of The Lost Boys. The trio is comprised of Kyler England, Adrianne Gonzalez and Gabriel Mann.

  On hand to help out where the bass player and the drummer from the Lost Boys Band, Vivirama and Marques Walls. They played on most of the songs throughout the night. Many members of the Lost Boys cast were also on hand: LJ Benet, Maria Wirries, Brian Flores, Dean Maupin, Hank Santos, Dominic Dorset, Pierre Marais and Jennifer Duka. Director Michael Arden also performed a song as well. 

  Singer songwriter, and future composer
Milck opened the show performing mainly songs from a new semi autobiographical show she has written.

Bon Jovi - Madison Square Garden 7/26/2026

 Bon Jovi wrapped up their 9 night run at Madison Square Garden with a great show on July 26 which included a setlist that touched on the majority of their albums from Slippery When Wet up to their newest release, Forever. 

This was their first tour since Jon had undergone vocal chord surgery, and had cut the previous concert short due to vocal issues.

The band sounded great, as expected, and Jon's voice sounded better than the previous show.

The concert also featured a couple special guests. The War & Treaty on The People's House from the Forever album, and Bruce Springsteen for a couple songs at the end of the show.

 Bon Jovi returns tonight and will be performing in Scotland. Curious to see if there are any major changes to the setlist. 

 Here's hoping they return soon, and bring more shows to the U.S.

 Here is the setlist:

  Beautiful Drug

  We Weren't Born To Follow

  Lost Highway

  You Give Love a Bad Name

  Born To Be My Baby

  Legendary

  Whole Lot of Leavin'

  In These Arms

  The People's House w/The War & Treaty

  It's My Life

  Livin' on a Prayer

  Raise Your Hands

  This House Is Not For Sale

  I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

  Keep the Faith

       Encore

  I'll Be There For You

  Bad Medicine

  Who Says You Can't Go Home w/Bruce Springsteen

  The Promised Land(Bruce Springsteen song) w/Bruce Springsteen

Music America - The Songs That Shaped Us: June 5, 2026 OceanFirst Bank Center

        Monmouth University played host to two unique concerts celebrating the music of America. 

        The first night featured Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Chesney, Trombone Shorty, Roseanne Cash, Brian Fallon and many others. 

        The second night focused on the 1950's up to the present. Robert Santelli provided context between songs as to the place a certain artist or song has in the history of American music. Happily, throughout the night, many of the artists shared the stage with each other making this very much a once in a lifetime event.

    Little Steven's Disciples of Soul, led by Marc Ribler, acted as house band for the artists, playing seemlessly from one genre to another.
