Concert Review: Here Come the Mummies

Truthfully, seeing Here Come the Mummies again at the House of Blues near me was one of the concerts I was really looking forward to last year until COVID put life and live music on hold.

The Blue Stones – Hidden Gems Album Review

For whatever reason, this band, The Blue Stones, keeps popping up, so I’ve finally decided to take notice. Several months back I heard a song of theirs playing on Sirius XM’s Octane, and just the other day I found out they’re playing at one of my favorite local venues this coming weekend. I may be otherwise occupied the day of the show, but it’s nice to know it’s an option. Anyway, with all of that in mind, I finally carved out a little bit of time to listen to their full-length record, Hidden Gems.
