Jun 22, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichWhen it comes to commenting on the current state of rock 'n’ roll, there’s really no band more qualified than The Doobie Brothers.

Jun 16, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichAnyone who has ever been to France’s capital knows that there is always something to do—whether you check out Mona Lisa’s smile at The Louvre or check in with François Truffaut at the Montmartre Cemetery—but in June, music is where it’s at. ... Read More | 
Jun 15, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThere is something so powerful and effervescent about black and white images of iconic jazz musicians and singers—perhaps it is because back then artists weren’t as overexposed as they are now, making intimate photos pretty hard to come by.

Apr 30, 2015 | Contributor: Vicki ArkoffPop fashion from the 1980s isn’t the only thing making a stylish return from the New Wave era. The fashion-forward musicians who wore it first have also been staging comeback tours lately, including Duran Duran, Devo, Madonna, Orchestral Manoeuvres in The Dark, and most recently (and unexpectedly), Take On Me one-hit-wonder A-ha. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to give a returning warm welcome to British band Spandau Ballet. ... Read More |

The sweetlife festival in Columbia, MD—less than an hour drive from Washington DC—takes place May 30-31 and is put on by sweetgreen, a culinary lifestyle brand that dedicates itself to connecting the community with farmers and growers. ...

Apr 9, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichWhat do Elton John, Hozier, Wilco, The Who, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, No Doubt, T.I., and Ed Sheeran all have in common?
