Denver based piano rockers, The Fray, played to a packed auditorium of nearly 4,000 fans at the Foxwoods Casino in Mashentucket, CT on April 25. While strained vocals appeared to challenge lead singer, Isaac Slade, the hour long set included radio favorites "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and "You Found Me." New to the lineup was a cover of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon," and "Never Say Never" posed as the encore.

LA based rockers, Lifehouse took to the stage of Baltimore Maryland's 1st Mariner Arena for the inaugural night of their 2010 US tour with American Idol finalist, Chris Daughtry. Having released their latest album Smoke & Mirrors only a few weeks prior, these guys were ready to deliver their revised sound, opening with one of the tracks, "All In." Lifehouse kept the crowd enticed with the new tracks, while including old favorites. Although the performance showcased some of their popular singles, missing from the line up was the 2005 hit, "You and Me." During "Wrecking Ball," frontman Jason Wad took a step back from center stage to allow bass guitarist Bryce Soderberg to lead on "Wrecking Ball." The forty-five minute set concluded with their first hit "Hanging By a Moment" which served as a reminder to anyone in the audience who may have forgotten the Lifehouse of 2001.

On Saturday March 13, thousands of festival goers braved the cold rain, and dawned in their best green attire flooded the parking lot of RFK Stadium in Washington DC for Hi Ball Event's Shamrock Fest. The all day drinking and celtic music event featured entertainment from over 40 artists including: Scythian, Carbon Leaf, Street Dogs, Pat Premiere, and headliner: Train. With flooded stages making for anything but ideal conditions, it is amazing that the event organizers were able to carry on the festival relatively on schedule.

In a room reeking of beer and Boston Redsox attire, the spirit of American-celtic punk rock returned to the 9:30 Club, prepping Washington DC for St. Patrick's Day. Opening to the sound of live bagpipes, the band took to the stage, and awaited the arrival of lead singer, Al Barr, who immediately leaped to the barricade to kick off the hour long set. The evening featured "Last Letter Home," and the ever popular "Shipping Up to Boston," which many will recognize as the theme to the major motion picture, The Departed.
