PenĆ©lope Paul – a ‘Classic Custom’
This would be PenĆ©lope Paulāthe guitar, not the cat. I stumbled across this somewhat overlooked and relatively limited-run model a few months ago. Built around 2012, this isn’t a Gibson Custom Shop instrument, but rather one of Gibson USA’s Les Paul Classic Custom models. At first glance, most players would be hard-pressed to spot the difference. Visually, it checks nearly all the same boxes as a traditional Les Paul Custom: multi-ply binding, ebony-style aesthetics, block

Tremont Music Hall – Staff & Family Reunion
I paid my rock ānā roll dues in that building. Trying to write about Tremont Music Hall is somewhat of a daunting task for me. The stories and memories are literally endless, and I could go on for hours. I believe thatās largely due to the fact I spent 20 years of my life in those hallowed halls, much of it during my adolescent, formative years. I paid my rock ānā roll dues in that

No Snow Days in Hardcore: Inside YAMALOKAās Blizzard-Born Studio Sessions
āThere are NO snow days in hardcore music.ā –Ā I wholeheartedly meant it when I typed it in the group chat on day three of tracking our debut EP, Sermons Of The Damned. At that point, it wasnāt just a statementāit was the reality we were living in. Snow was dumping outside, roads were getting worse by the hour, and somehow, that only made us push harder. I play guitar in YAMALOKA, a five-piece, no-frills hardcore

Sala, a cocktail bar – Brought to you by Moffett Restaurant Group
There was little fanfare in September when Charlotte chef and restaurateur Bruce Moffett quietly opened Sala, a European-style cocktail lounge next to his stalwart Italian restaurant, Stagioni. The opening was, however, an homage to Blanche Morgan Reynolds-Gourmajenko, theĀ Charlotte socialite and legendary hostessĀ who built the Tuscan-style villa in the 1920s at the spot where Stagioni and Sala now reside.Ā SalaĀ is the newest addition to Moffett Restaurant Groupās portfolio, which also includes Barringtonās, Good Food on Montford, and

MariGold Started her life as a Mary Ford Signature
Itās DAMN hard to find a slim taper neck, ~9 lbs, Standard Gold Topā¦ so I upfitted my own. Meet āMariGold.ā š¤© She started life as a Gibson Mary Ford Signature Standard and somehow became my No.1. Huge shout out to Worth at Mojotone for the insane-sounding 44 Magnum (21k passive) bridge pickup and vintage slim 500k CTS pots. Absolute fire. I also swapped out the floral guards and just added Kluson Locking Revolution Series

4×12 Power to a Custom MojoTone 2×12 Masterpiece
Finding the Perfect Balance: My Journey from 4×12 Power to a Custom MojoTone 2×12 Masterpiece For nearly a decade, I fought against the rise of digital modeling amplifiers. I was a purist ā nothing, I told myself, would ever replace the roar and feel of a proper 4×12 cabinet pushing air behind me. My back, however, started disagreeing. After years of lugging heavy gear from gig to gig, I decided it was time to find

He Is Legend – Suck Out The Poison 20 Year Anniversary Tour
Fall. 2006. The Van. The CD. The Tour. I remember when He Is Legend dropped their follow-up to the critically acclaimed I Am Hollywood ā it was October 2006, and fans were split. It was a departure from the sound that put them on the map via SolidState Records. That debut had launched them into the heart of a thriving metalcore scene, but this new record? Raw. Gritty. Honest. If you were a real fan,
