People created headlines from one quick, simple comment I made on a podcast not long ago, it's crazy. I've got to be careful about what I say about it. But I've got a lot to say about it and I've been just trying to figure out how and when, to go about really articulating it.
Sarah McLachlan's secret to caring for her voice on the road? "Lots of warm water with honey and lemon, lots of sleep, humidifiers in the hotel and dressing rooms, exercise, and healthy food," she listed, which honestly sounds like a fine recipe for surviving the winter, too. McLachlan had a major 2025, releasing her tenth album, Better Broken, in September, with a tour across the United States.

I definitely remember him I even took one of his workshops but didn't think much more of it.

What started as a casting call for a supposed background performance on Outer Banks quietly morphed into something much bigger: a full-fledged band, a Prime Video series, and a growing touring act with sold-out shows ( get tickets here while you can!). Zendé Murdock of The Runarounds recently spoke with Kyle Meredith about the long game behind the project - one that saw five young musicians unknowingly audition for their own TV show, then spend years becoming a real band
West End Girl would certainly lend itself to a dramatisation: the album is a sustained piece of storytelling that depicts a marriage and its unravelling. Allen has said it is inspired by what went on in her marriage to US actor David Harbour, known for his roles in Stranger Things and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage, but that's not to say that it's all gospel, she told Vogue.

But let's say you're sightseeing, you're going on a cross-country trip, you might not want to be as hyped.
It's the kind of movement you'd expect from a hometown hero's set later in the afternoon or for one of the bigger headliners in the evening, but not for the second act of the day on the massive Riot Stage. But it's also not unexpected, considering how how much buzz the band "Militarie Gun" received on the festival grounds before they came on stage.
"There's so much material at this point - it's a matter of having the discipline to sit down and fucking get into it," the guitarist said, (via a magazine clipping captured on X/Twitter). "But the thing with Guns is, in my experience, you can never plan ahead. You can never sit down and go, 'We're going to take this time, and we're going to do this.' Every time we've done that, it falls apart."

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the shows next week :)"
Keithen Foster remembers the T-Mobile side-kick phone he used to text his mentor, longtime Brian McKnight bassist Chris Loftlin, while he was in high school. Touring kept Loftlin busy, but he made time for Foster, who was in awe of the experiences his mentor would share in their conversations. 'I remember him saying, 'yo I'll hit you back tomorrow, I'm about to hop on this flight and go to Tokyo,’” said Foster, reminiscing about the excitement of Loftlin’s touring life.
