MegaCorp Pavilion – Newport, Kentucky – October 20, 2025
With Special Guest BALTHVS
Even on a Monday night, My Morning Jacket turned the banks of the Ohio River into a swirling mass of reverb and euphoria. Touring behind their new album is, the Louisville legends reminded everyone why their live shows have become something of modern rock folklore, with equal parts mystic communion and psychedelic sermon.
The MegaCorp Pavilion, sitting just across the water from the Cincinnati skyline, provided a stunning backdrop for the Kentucky band’s return to the region. A crisp fall breeze swept through the open-air venue as frontman Jim James took in the moment, gazing out at the crowd before exclaiming, “What a BEAUTIFUL fall evening in October. This is when fall is romantic. And we all get to be particles on this romantic fall evening.” The crowd roared in agreement. This was one of those nights that felt suspended in amber.
James, ever the showman-shaman, gave the audience something new to chew on during “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream” when he slyly altered a lyric to proclaim, “I need a human right by my side, not fucking AI.” It was a perfectly timed jab that drew cheers, proof that even in the band’s most ethereal moments, My Morning Jacket’s heart beats firmly in the human world.
The night pulsed and glowed, the lights bouncing off the Pavilion’s canopy as the band leaned into their jams. “Dondante” unfolded like a fever dream, “Master Plan” shimmered with soul, and “Slow Slow Tune” offered a rare breath of calm before the storm of the encore.
By the time the band returned for a four-song victory lap with “Get the Point,” “Outta My System,” “Highly Suspicious,” and “Wordless Chorus”, the crowd was locked into collective transcendence. The closing chant of “Wordless Chorus” felt like a benediction over the river, the echo of thousands of voices carrying out into the Kentucky night.
Even if it was a Monday, there was no mistaking the feeling: My Morning Jacket still reigns as one of America’s most vital live bands, a reminder that rock and roll, when delivered with this much soul, can still feel like a spiritual experience.
Setlist:
It’s About Twilight Now · Touch Me I’m Going to Scream Pt. 2 · Touch Me I’m Going to Scream Pt. 1 · Big Decisions · Dancefloors · Run It · Everyday Magic · Master Plan · Die for It · Slow Slow Tune · Dondante · En La Ceremony · I Can Hear Your Love · What a Wonderful Man · Squid Ink · Love Love Love · Mahgeetah

The Vogue — Indianapolis, IN — October 17, 2025
Lucius has always blurred the line between retro shimmer and modern ache, and onstage at The Vogue, they turned that duality into something electric. Touring behind their new self-titled album, released May 2 via Fantasy Records, the Grammy-nominated duo delivered a set that felt both intimate and cinematic—equal parts disco glow and emotional excavation. Their harmonies, still otherworldly after a decade together, floated over synth pulses and sharp grooves that made even heartbreak sound euphoric.
Opening act Jobi Riccio set the tone perfectly, weaving country-inflected storytelling through tender melodies and quiet confidence. By the time Lucius closed the night, the room pulsed with a rare kind of joy—the kind that lingers long after the lights fade.
Lucius setlist: Final Days, Gold Rush, Hallways, Stranger Danger, 24, Dusty Trails, Until We Get There, Tempest, Joyride, Nothing Ordinary, Lucy, Old Tape, Two of Us on the Run, Mad Love, Everybody Hurts (R.E.M. cover)

In a genre forever haunted by its ghosts, Marty Stuart stands as both preservationist and prophet. At the Brown County Music Center, Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives delivered a show that blurred the line between revival and revelation. A living museum of American country music that somehow still feels defiantly alive.
Backed by the Superlatives’ telepathic precision with Kenny Vaughan’s twang as sharp as the desert sun, Harry Stinson’s steady locomotive rhythm, and Chris Scruggs’ nimble bass grounding it all, Stuart turned the evening into a road trip across the mythic West. “Hillbilly Rock” rattled the room like a jukebox from another dimension, while “Graveyard” and “I Didn’t Sleep Last Night” played like dispatches from some cosmic honky-tonk.
Stuart’s affection for the American frontier, with its spiritual, sonic, and literal, radiated throughout the evening. Each song felt like a sepia-toned postcard sent from another time, yet powered by the immediacy of a band that knows how to make tradition breathe.
By the time they tore through the setlist, it was clear that Stuart isn’t just keeping the flame of classic country alive. He’s reshaping its mythology. If the question still lingers about who’s going to fill the shoes of the greats, Marty Stuart has already laced his up and walked well past the horizon.

Photo Galleries by Tony Vasquez: Full Body 2, Anamanaguchi
On Wednesday night, the basement of Old National Centre felt less like a venue and more like a portal into another dimension. Anamanaguchi, a New York City-based band, transformed the Deluxe Room into a kaleidoscope of neon colors and pixelated nostalgia, unleashing a relentless blend of guitar heroics and pounding rhythms that pushed their “Buckwild Tour” into sensory overload.
Opening the night was Philadelphia’s Full Body 2, a band that thrives in distortion-drenched dreamscapes. Bathed in soft LED color washes and a haze of fog, the four-piece carved out a half-hour set that shimmered between fragility and thunder. Their sound felt exploratory, riding on layers of feedback and crystal tones. A small but passionate crowd leaned into every moment, swept up in the band’s haze-heavy waves of noise and melody.
The night belonged to Anamanaguchi. From the moment they launched into “Sparkler” and “Lieday,” the room was transformed into a sensory overload of light and sound. Guitarists Peter Berkman and Ary Warnaar traded soaring riffs like coded spells, while James DeVito’s bass rumbled beneath Luke Silas’ propulsive drumming, locking the crowd into a collective bounce.
By the time “Prom Night” and “Rage” hit, it wasn’t just a concert, it was a communal exorcism of joy. The closing stretch, marked by the euphoric pulse, left me feeling joyful in the communal experience.
In the tight, low-ceilinged confines of the Deluxe, Anamanaguchi turned their music into a weapon of pure bliss.
