Cowboy Junkies

Filling up The Plaza Theatre with their heartbreaking sounds, Cowboy Junkies treat Orlando -- and Jen Cray -- to an evening of tear-jerking beauty.

Fujiya & Miyagi

Fujiya & Miyagi brought their unique brand of electronica to Orlando's BackBooth recently. Phillip Haire got his groove on.

King Kahn & the Shrines

King Kahn & the Shrines stood out, to Phillip Haire, as a key performer at Florida's inaugural Harvest of Hope Festival.

Lady Sovereign

Lady Sovereign may have matured since parting ways with Def Jam records, but she recently proved to both Chicago and our own Chris Catania that she's still the "biggest midget in the game."

Legendary Pink Dots

Matthew Moyer swoons over the voices inside the heads of The Legendary Pink Dots.

Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat

If you didn't catch Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat's Jacksonville performance, as our own Matthew Moyer did, then you missed out on one seriously artistic explosion of wonder.

While recognized more for their skin-crawling costumes than for their music, Slipknot are a speed metal band worthy of a little respect -- as Jen Cray discovered recently at the Orlando date of the band's current arena tour.

The Pretenders

Bus flu and pesky amateur photogs can't keep The Pretenders from rocking the Taft Theatre on their first extensive headlining tour since 2003. Sean Slone keeps tally.
