Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Being a Springsteen fan often feels like being part of a big family. In Grab Your Ticket and Your Suitcase: a personal Bruce Springsteen concert history, my dear friend (and fellow Bruce fan) Dan French shares his story of a life spent chasing the music he loves. The title is a line that every Springsteen... Continue Reading →
As we had decided to go to the New York area for the Easter holiday I knew I wanted to book the Rock and Roll Tour of the Jersey shore. On the website there were two tour alternatives; the 2 hours tour and the 4 hours tour. We picked the latter one. When the details... Continue Reading →
We decided pretty late to go to this concert. Honestly, we didn’t know much about the band, or, well, anything really. But we were in New York, and we wanted the chance to see a show at Madison Square Garden. Oliver had been there before for a Pearl Jam concert, and I’d only ever seen... Continue Reading →
This blogpost picks up where we left off - ok a DUMBO, Brooklyn, on our first full day in New York, Sunday April 13. After hopping off the ferry, we strolled over to the venue with the cutest name: Baby’s All Right. However, as soon as we got to the door, we hit a bit... Continue Reading →
We got up early to catch the 7:30am FlixBus from Newark to Philadelphia. The train would’ve been a bit more comfortable, sure—but the price tag? Not so much. So FlixBus it was.

This weekend, Oliver and I were back in Brussels at the beautiful venue Forest National, this time to see Michael Kiwanuka. He’s a British singer-songwriter that Oliver first recommended to me back in 2022 when he played at the Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg. His music is often described as ”a blend of folk,...

When Jason Isbell announced his ”An Intimate Evening with Jason Isbell”-tour, I knew this was a show I didn’t want to miss. However, with only five dates in Europe (and none of them in Sweden) it was going to be tricky to find a suitable one. Luckily, a week’s school holiday in February fitted quite... Continue Reading →
This post is long overdue. It has been almost three months since we came home from our trip to Canada and in another three months the Bruce Springsteen 2025 European leg starts. Anyway, here is the last part of the story of our Canadian adventure. The first two parts can be found here. Vancouver turned... Continue Reading →
