I loved writing this story about how @urbanheatband holds a mirror to darkness to remind us how we all struggle to find the light sometimes. Catch a FREE show March 5 when they join us for The Drop @WaterlooRecords! statesman.com/story/entertai…

I have news. This is my last day at the American-Statesman, my home since 1989 and one of the loves of my life. I took the buyout; it felt like the right time. Reporting for y'all has been, and I mean this sincerely, an honor.

Anderson High School was one of the strangest places @wearephoenix have played, the brothers told me, but a show at a Berlin swimming pool is also up there. That said, their appearance at #ACLFest was one of their best. statesman.com/story/entertai…

At one point, Chicha did a mental health check on the crowd, asking if "everyone is OK — mentally," only to get a response that made her cry out "NOOO" and remind the crowd to take care of themselves. statesman.com/story/entertai…
