Rock CD Review: John Powhida International Airport — “This Phasor Sounds Divine”

Like his idol, Todd Rundgren, John Powhida is a bit of a musical shape-shifter, evoking a broad range of styles but always with his unique and easily recognizable stamp.

Jazz CD Review: “Going for It,” the Harvie S Trio with Mike Stern and Alan Dawson

This seven-song, hour-long release, drawn from three nights at the fabled 1369 Club, is, in a word, sensational.

Film Review: “Summer of Soul” — A Classic Concert Resurrected

Summer of Soul is two hours of rapturous entertainment and pointed political commentary — neither of which has gone out of style 52 years later.

By: Jason M. Rubin Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Hulu, Jason M. Rubin, Summer of Soul

Film Review: “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road” — Getting Close to a Legend of Pop Music

What comes across most clearly to the viewer is that every single day — practically every single hour — is a struggle for Brian Wilson.

Music Preview: Creative Music Series Brings Live Jazz to Live Audiences

At a time most venues are doing without live music, the Creative Music Series is bucking the trend with free public concerts in outdoor locations throughout the Boston area.

Music Review/Interview: Foxes & Fossils — 50 Million YouTube Views Can’t Be Wrong

Even though they are a cover band, Foxes and Fossils’ performances are fresh and delightful. While faithful to the originals, they are not slavish imitations.

Classical Music Concert Preview: “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” — Via ClassicalCafé

This small jewel of a show has been a Bronx-based treasure for the last seven years, but now, “thanks” to COVID-19, it is available to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Arts Feature: Celebrating 100 Years of The Cabot

The event is not merely a celebration of the Cabot’s centennial; in 2020, it’s an act of defiance.

By: Jason M. Rubin Filed Under: Featured, Music, Preview Tagged: Cabot Performing Arts Center, The Cabot

Book Review: “What Came Before” — A Horde of Micro-essays

At his best, Matthew Schultz’s abilities as a writer transcend the small, tight canvasses he has prepared for himself.

By: Jason M. Rubin Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Matthew Schultz, micro-essays, Tupelo Press, What Came Before

Film Review: “Working Man” — Singing the Proletarian Blues

Working Man does an excellent job dramatizing the poverty and desperation of people who live paycheck to paycheck.

By: Jason M Rubin Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Peter Gerety, Robert Jury, Working Man
