Grandaddy at First Avenue, Minneapolis (October 8, 2025)

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.
Laveda: Love, Darla
New York-based quartet Laveda released their third album Love, Darla on Bar/None Records.
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.
Ehsan Matoori at The O’Shaughnessy (October 4, 2025)
