Photo Review: Alabama: Live In Concert

by Brian Hilbrand · September 13, 2026

It’s the kind of story you read about in books and watch on the big screen at the movies. For the band ALABAMA, it’s not just a story; it’s their life. It’s a classic American tale of rags to riches. From humble beginnings picking cotton in the fields to international stars that went on to s…

Review: LINDSEY STIRLING’S DUALITY TOUR at Acrisure Amphitheater

by Brian Hilbrand · August 22, 2026

We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name.

Photo Review: Mary Kutter and Junior Brown, Special Guest for Hank Williams, Jr.

by Brian Hilbrand · August 16, 2026
