The Backstage Beat had the privilege of being at the very first Boston Calling Music Festival in May 2013. What a great way for such a wonderful city to come together after the tragic events that happened a month early. Even though it was freakishly cold for May, nothing stopped the bands from bringing the […]
On June 4, Clint Lowery and his Georgian brethren will hit Boston for “An Evening with Sevendust,” an intimate show in support of the Atlanta rockers’ recently released Time Travelers & Bonfires.

I think between the three parties involved, everyone said “small world!” a gillion […]
Everyone has missed out on something—it’s the reason that we have cover bands and Ren Fairs. Like a Ren Fair, patrons of The Middle East broke out their favorite masquerade costumes and came in character. Costumes of note included several Cat Women, the Black Swan, Elwood Blues (I didn’t see Jake…), and Hunter S. Thompson […]
I learned so much at Harvard! The possibilities were endless! Archeology, paleontology, biology, chemistry… the list goes on. When I went to Harvard, I was worried I might be bored.
