Turkuaz performed at the Wall Street Theater in Norwalk, Connecticut on Sunday, April 25, 2021.

Phish performed at the Dunkin Donuts Center on Saturday, November 30, 2019. This was the second of two nights at the Dunk to kick off the Phish Fall 2019 Tour. The night consisted of two different sets, as well as an epic four song encore. As I walked towards the pit, i couldn’t help but notice the sea of people already in the arena. Many were sitting (or even sprawled out) on the ground. Most were simply trying to conserve as much energy as possible for the long night of dancing that was to follow.
Dance Your Face Off had the opportunity to cover The Lumineers performing at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The arena is located inside of the Mohegan Sun Casino, which is in Uncasville, Connecticut. This show took place on Saturday, February 29, 2020. This was our final show at the casino before the Covid-19 shutdown.
KISS rolled into Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday, February 1, 2020. They brought their ‘END OF THE ROAD WORLD TOUR’ to the SNHU Arena. David Lee Roth kicked (literally) things off for the night. He is best known as the lead singer for the famed band Van Halen. He played mostly Van Halen songs such as Jump and Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love, with a few covers mixed in as well. KISS then came on and pumped out an impressive 18 song set, plus an encore. From Detroit Rock City, to I was Made For Lovin’ You and Rock And Roll All Nite, they truly put on an explosive performance. Here are the full set lists for KISS and David Lee Roth!

I had the amazing opportunity to interview El Dub (Lee Walsh) looping artist, and one man band. We talked about his latest album, as well as life during a Nationwide Pandemic due to the Covid-19 Virus. El Dub, whom has kept a very heavy touring schedule for years, has long been blessing the world with his amazing music. Music that is filled with messages of peace, love, positivity, healing and family. If you have never heard of El Dub, I highly suggest you get yourself familiar. However, the real magic, is to catch him live and watch the master at work. He’s known to change his music style to best fit the crowd he is playing for, making him an extremely versatile artist as well. For now, you can catch him on his weekly stream via his Facebook page El Dub Music (details below). Enjoy the interview!
