There’s a white mansion off Alton Road in Miami Beach with a circular driveway, a balcony, and landscaping the neighborhood kid with a lawnmower wouldn’t dare mess with. A lot of millennials work at home, but this is something special.
Paramore has gone from being early aughts pop-punk rockers to a Talking Heads-inspired new wave outfit with its fifth album, After Laughter. If you’re missing the band’s “Misery Business” era, rest assured: Paramore will probably perform it alongside newer cuts like “Hard Time” and “Told You So” when the trio…
Tonight in Miami, Kendrick Lamar gave a performance that was, in a word, humbling. With its thrilling special effects, high-wire stunts, and the raw star power of the greatest living rapper, the final stop on the DAMN. Tour at American Airlines Arena was wilder and more grandiose than any show…
It’s time to step up donation efforts for Hurricane Harvey survivors, Miami. The deadly storm has submerged entire communities in southeast Texas, and people are still being rescued from inundated homes nearly a week after landfall. Harvey has triggered an outpouring of sympathy and support from Americans who wish to help victims in any way they can, but the people of Miami are especially eager to help.
It’s an exciting time to be a music fan in the 305. There was last week’s announcement of Off Weekend music festival. Then there are the new music venues that have recently debuted. And how about the wealth of talent emerging from our swamp?
Who needs a band these days when you have a loop pedal? Not Ed Sheeran, apparently.

Last year, Gaby Guerrero put herself on the map of Miami’s underground R&B scene with her EP Polarized. This year, she’s channeling the likes of Solange, FKA Twigs, and early Sia on her longer and more mature EP, Second Chances.
If you had to take a stab at what side of the political line Kip Moore falls on, you might guess the one that wears red trucker hats with “Make America Great Again” stitched on them.

Paramore understands that the artists who stand the test of time are the shape-shifters.

Chris Martin is a ham. Fans have long known this. Like his fellow Brit, the knighted bassist of history’s most famous and fab band, Martin is a crowd pleaser. He asks the road crew to turn the house lights up to “get a good look” at everyone in the crowd, has the cameramen pan to every single section of Hard Rock Stadium, and repeatedly thanks the audience for braving rain, traffic, and the impending buzzkill of a Tuesday morning to come out to his band’s concert.
Did you spend all of your money on a vacation getaway this summer? Perhaps that wasn’t the best idea because you already live in paradise. If that’s the case, though, you’ll probably want to scrounge up some more cash to catch some of the concerts coming to South Florida in the remaining four months of 2017.
Tonight Coldplay will fill Hard Rock Stadium with thousands of attendees eager to hear Chris Martin’s voice belt out hits like “Yellow” and “Adventure of a Lifetime.” But some fans experienced that excitement early, in a far more intimate venue, when Martin joined Coldplay opening act Izzy Bizu onstage at the Wynwood Yard last night.
He’s the greatest living rapper, but he’s never seemed more miserable.
The notion that Miami is dead in the summer certainly certainly doesn’t apply to this week. There’s everything from major concert tours to album-listening parties. For those who like to sing along with an arena-size crowd, don’t miss Coldplay at Hard Rock Stadium Monday…
