Finally, after almost two years in the making, Foxy Shazam triumphantly returned to the stage for an energetic homecoming show at The Andrew J. Brady Music Center Saturday night.

When I think about tonight’s show at The Southgate House Revival, featuring headliners 500 Miles to Memphis and supporting act Nightbeast, I can’t help but think about the drums.

With 2020 throwing more uncertainty, turmoil, and calamities to fill an entire decade, it is a welcome respite to learn that Foxy Shazam were back after a six-year hiatus with a new album. Although Burn is a bit of a sonic departure from their previous albums, there are still a lot of epic, anthem-scaled tracks for fans to sink their teeth in.

The guitar-centric romp of 90’s alternative music was alive and well Saturday night at the Thompson House as Soul Asylum and Local H took the audience on a nostalgic trip back to the last decade where rock music reigned supreme. 

Decorated only by a sole Oriental rug, a single microphone and his trusty mandolin, Chris Thile wowed the audience at Memorial Hall as only a person of his esteemed craftsmanship could.
