I revisited the Old National Centre in Indianapolis to see Baltimore's rising star, Shordie Shordie, transform the venue into a celebration of East Coast hip-hop, uniting passionate fans with his electric performance. The concert, filled with raw energy and powerful messages, left me eager to explore his music, resonating deeply with both hardcore fans and newcomers like myself.

A dash of wrong venue turned into a night of musical magic with Rodrigo y Gabriela. Their flamenco-infused rock blew the roof off the Egyptian Room, Indianapolis!
