LIVE REVIEW: NORTH COAST MUSIC FESTIVAL 2023

Having attended the first North Coast Music Festival in 2010 and last making an appearance in 2015, I decided it was time to check in with an old friend this year. I knew it had been a while since North Coast transitioned from its “throw everything in a blender” approach to music when it hosted rock, jam, hip hop, indie, and electronic acts all under one weird roof during its Union Park days, and I was curious to see how the festival has aged since its more recent rebirth as a straight EDM fest at SeatGeek Stadium in 2023.

LIVE REVIEW: GOOSE AT THE RIVIERA 6/21

It was the Summer Solstice in Chicago. And the Riviera was in a good mood. In fact, the phrase “good vibes” may be the most succinct encapsulation of upcoming jamband legends-in-the-making Goose. As is the case with tie-dyed forebears The Grateful Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic, et cetera, their 3-hour-plus show is a much an excuse to party as anything else. But something about their sound feels instantly more contemporary and relevant, as evidenced by their growing battalion of fans from teens to grandparents.
