Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster at Off Broadway

Justin (of Water Liars) returned to the stage at Off Broadway this week, to play tunes off his 2nd solo album! He had a full band in tow this time around, which was nice to see again. He’s played many solo house shows in recent years. I’ve been following his music and going to his shows for about a decade now, which is crazy to think about! Off Broadway feels like home to me, a place Ill keep returning to year after year, to see some of my favorite songwriters/musicians. At one point during the show Justin stated “Things have changed a lot here, but they’ve always stayed the same”, which of course made me tear up. It all comes full circle sometimes. We (the musicians and fans) are the constants.

What made this night even more special was Bo & the Locomotive opening! I’ve been seeing them play for about a decade now too, and have always been one of my fav local bands.

Also on the bill was Spencer Thomas, and woah!! So good.

Friends + Music + Old home away from homes + Nostalgia = a great night!

P.S. Black & white images are my fav at Off Broadway! There’s just something so classic about them :)

Ha Ha Tonka "Tonksgiving" 2015

Ha Ha Tonka held their 5th annual Thanksgiving show at Off Broadway on November 27, which they appropriately dubbed "Tonksgiving." It's something I look forward to every year! They always put on a fun, heartfelt set. I first became hooked on them back in 2011, with their release of "Death of a Decade." Since then I've never missed a show when they've been in town! Not only are they great musicians, but they're also super nice guys who genuinely care about their fans. It's also pretty obvious they love what they do. It's basically a party on stage at every show! Last year at Off Broadway they recorded the show, and recently released it on vinyl which I was super excited to get my hands on. It's pretty cool to have a recording of a show I was at, of one of my favorite bands & favorite venue in St. Louis :) They've also announced that they're in the process of recording their next album, right here in St. Louis at Sawhorse Studios! Enjoy some photos from this past Friday!

Opening the evening this year were The Yawpers, heavy rock'n'rollers out of Denver, CO who basically destroyed all of our eardrums!
