Chilltown Block Party
This past weekend was Chilltown Collective’s block party in Jersey City and it was actually the most relaxed environment I’ve ever been in.

Carleton Icon Presents Iconic Lip Sync at LITM!
The very first time I sang karaoke, I sang Foreigner’s hit power ballad, “I Want to Know What Love Is.” (Dedicated to Channing Tatum, of course) When I got back to the table, one of my friends said to me, “A for performance, F for vocals.” Yeah, I’m pretty much tone-deaf. Are you like me? […]

Conundrum
About a month ago I was at a turning point in my blogging career, I lost myself in the “hustle,” trying to make a living, and grow the website. I was focused more on the sponsored articles (which are great and I am thankful, don’t get me wrong) and I was delegating the fun artist […]

The HDSID Groove on Grove (GOG) is back next Wednesday, May 4th by the Grove Street Plaza. I am so beyond excited for the start of the season! GOG is one of my favorite things to do in JC. Who doesn’t love free music from JC’s best musicians, food, good weather, and local vendors?! It’s […]
Pat Van Dyke
I first saw Pat Van Dyke at the Riverview Jazz Festival last summer and he rocked the house (or the park). I kid you not, I sent myself an e-mail with the header “Interview PVD.” Well, I never came around to it and when I recently interviewed DJ Prestige aka Flea Market Funk, he dropped […]

Jersey City has become a melting pot for New Jersey musicians. Everywhere you look there is a new up and coming band calling our city their home and Born Cages is no exception. These 3 New Jersey natives are taking full advantage of JC’s proximity to NYC in hopes to catch their break in the […]
Night Birds, Dirty Fences, Crazy & The Brains @ Monty Hall
There were so many shows going on in Jersey City last night but the place to be was Monty Hall. A full night of cheap beer, high energy and fast as fuck punk jams turned the hall upside down. It kicked off with Jersey City favorites Crazy & The Brains, known for their xylophone player […]
