Caroline Kingsbury and Maris at Green Room, Minneapolis (October 4th 2025)

Alright, another Twin Cities music venue under my belt as the Green Room played host to co-headliners, Caroline Kingsbury and Maris.  It’s a fun, intimate venue with plenty of great sightlines.  The balcony allows for great views of the stage; straight on you still fell plenty close, and from the sides you feel like you’re practically on stage.  When I review shows, I tend to move about and really couldn’t find a bad spot.  If you haven’t been, check it out. 

The Cranberries: No Need to Argue (30th Anniversary Edition)

Not a popular opinion, but No Need to Argue is not my favorite The Cranberries album. I prefer the later records, particularly the Bury the Hatchet-era, when I felt the band was in top-form and understood how to write blockbuster songs. Still, No Need to Argue is important because this is the band’s breakout record.
