TC here and the summer of 2022 was OFF THE CHAIN for concerts! We finally saw many of the shows we waited for (pre-pandemic) and bands brought forth a passion, fire and fury on stage that was exactly what we needed!

Here are a half dozen of our staff picks- In no particular order- that rocked our SUMMER!

• The Black Crowes- Stone Pony Summerstage - June 30th

  Scotty B our Rockturnal Southern Fried Maniac named this show as one to remember- A SOLD OUT, great smelling show- Scotty took the night off from the airwaves to enjoy his favorite band and said “Tater- They Did Not Miss A Step”! “Chris is still the ultimate showman and the chemistry between the brothers was ON FIRE!”
