I've given Jackson Browne plenty of chances - I've seen him live four times now - but it's official: the guy is boring. His show at the Auditorium Theatre on Friday was a yawn fest, but his fans ate it up. I have to admit, Browne has the best...

Eve To Adam brought the heat and the people to their feet Thursday night at Montage Music Hall. Despite the band's leather-clad tightness, there was a ragged excitement that bled cool throughout the joint. This band is clearly (hopefully) the...

Indie-folk hero Andrew Bird filled the Harro East Ballroom with his gloriously global sound on Wednesday night. The Chicagoland singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist is an undeniable musical genius. In 1996 Bird received a bachelor's degree...
