The Chicks play nice during tour opener at the Fox Theatre (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just over 20 years ago, the (then) Dixie Chicks began their Accidents & Accusations Tour at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena, with a chip on their collective shoulders, a provocative new album at No. 1 on the charts and the eyes of the world upon them. But things were considerably different — and decidedly more friendly — when the trio, now just the Chicks, kicked off a tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of that 2026 release, “Taking the Long Way,” on Wednesday night, Sept. 30, at the Fox Theatre. “
Bruce Hornsby at Hill Auditorium, 5 things to know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With his classical training, virtuosic sensibility and esoteric outlook, Bruce Hornsby was not the kind of artist you’d peg for mass success 40 years ago. But there he was in 1986, with a multi-platinum debut album (“The Way It Is”), hit singles (chart-topping the title track, “Mandolin Rain” and “Every Little Kiss”) and a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. More of that would follow — including co-writing Don Henley’s “The End of the Innocence” in 1989 — but Hornsby was more interested in followi
Teddy Swims creates some “Ugly” beauty at Little Caesars Arena (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Early during his Ugly Tour stop Tuesday night, Sept. 29, at Detroit’s Little Caesar Arena, Teddy Swims asked, in song, “What More Can I Say?” The Georgia soul singer and hitmaker — his 2023 single “Lose Control” is the longest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 — certainly SHOWED plenty during the 26-song, nearly hour-and-50-minute performance, an arena-sized theatrical exposition on par with any of his pop peers. But the difference is the heavily tattooed Swims (real name Jaten Dimsdale) ca
Squeeze plays “Trixies” — and much more — on fans at Masonic Temple Theatre (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A musical time capsule of sorts opened at Detroit’s Masonic Temple Theatre on Sunday night, Sept. 27. And by the time Squeeze, along with Adam Ant and Haircut 100, had finished, it felt like no time — decades in this case — has passed at all. While each sound distinctly apart from the other, the three British acts represent a particular era of rock history identified, loosely, as New Wave — post-punk, pre-MTV. They did well in their homeland and struggled, to varying degrees, to find commercial
Sponge is still waxing ecstatic with new — and final — album (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Settling into a high-top window table at the front of a Ferndale sports bar, Vinnie Dombroski makes it clear that he’s not kidding about Sponge’s new album “Recuerda Tu Muerte” (BMG) — coming out Friday, Oct. 2 — being its last. “Is it really? Yeah,” the 63-year-old singer and songwriter, who co-founded the Detroit rock quintet back in 1992, explains with a small smile. “I’ve just kind of had it. People used to say, ‘You’ve got your whole life to make your first record,’ and I’m like, ‘Nah, I’ve
