PHOTOS: Megan Moroney kicks in some country to get Boston Calling 2025 rolling
The self-proclaimed 'Emo Cowgirl' turned some heads in Boston on a rainy Friday night and it's not just because of those shiny white boots, bright red dress and matching lipstick. Megan Moroney took the stage after Sheryl Crow and got the country fans in attendance ready for two-time Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year winner Luke Combs with her own award-winning country twang. Moroney, 27, went from watching Kenny Chesney in concert from section 312 of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2018, to dropping a duet with Mr. No Shoes Nation just a few weeks back called 'You Had to Be There.' She first got noticed when she opened for Chase Rice while she was a student at the University of Georgia. Speaking of Moroney and Combs, she actually made an appearance in his 'Beer Never Broke My Heart' music video back in 2019, well before she dropped her latest chart-topper 'Am I OK?' and 2022 breakout hit 'Tennessee Orange.' Moroney will be back in Boston this summer, when she hits Roadrunner for a pair of shows in early August. 23 of our favorite photos that summarize Boston Calling 2024 Country music superstars perform chart-topping duet at Boston Calling PHOTOS: Luke Combs wraps up Night 1 at 2025 Boston Calling Acclaimed indie band recalls Boston Calling act that left them starstruck After serious safety concerns at Boston Calling last year, fans return in 2025 T-Pain gets Boston Calling sprung on Night 1 (Photos) Boston Calling 2025 food vendors Who is Playing and When?

Here's what's in store for the Stage at Suffolk Downs this summer
Now, on the precipice of its third season – and its most robust slate of shows to date – the Stage at Suffolk Downs seems like it's off to the races at last. The venue's 2025 calendar feels like an official introduction to its capabilities as an 8,500-capacity open-air space, able to wrangle both multi-day music festivals and large-scale outdoor shows from touring artists like Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.

An appearance from alt-rock sisters Two festivals will also touch down in East Boston this year: a California-born Pride festival called , and the As the venue continues to strengthen its footing in the Boston music community, it also serves as a landing place for artists who are climbing the ladder of Bowery Boston venues, ascending to larger stages every time they return to the area. Bhatti cites Khruangbin as a prime example of this ongoing graduation; since 2016, the group has vaulted from cozier clubs like Great Scott (which has since closed) and The Sinclair to the mid-sized venues Royale and Roadrunner. When the band returns to Boston this summer on their 'A LA SALA' tour, their stop at Suffolk Downs will be the next logical step, both in terms of crowd size and setting.

Needless to say, the rough 'n' tumble alternative of The Ghouls's debut record gleams with promise, and I predict the Lowell band's cartwheeling youthfulness will nab them many honors beyond their current title of 2024 Rock and Roll Rumble winners.

Once part of the millennial indie rock boom, TV on the Radio is back on the road
That time is now. After having carved a swath through ten years of the post-9/11 musical landscape with a quintet of dense, fiery art-rock records that litter best-of-the-year and best-of-the-decade album polls, TV on the Radio has returned to the fray, hitting the road on a tour that brings them to Roadrunner on July 30. Given that the band had plenty to say about the Republican in the White House when it first appeared on the scene in 2001, the decision to regroup might seem like it was inspired by its thoughts about the current occupant. But Bunton suggests that the timing simply seemed right for the band to resume operations. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'It seems temporally appropriate for whatever reason, but I can't say that was the impetus. I don't think any of us have that much of an inflated sense of self-worth, [of] being like 'The world needs us now!,'' Bunton says. Instead, he sees TV on the Radio as paying inspiration forward, just as he was inspired by other artists. 'I'm a firm believer in [our] music and its authenticity and its sincerity, and I think it adds something to the global conversation.' Advertisement Despite the protestations, it seems in some regards as though TV on the Radio's work isn't done, that the heady swirl of agitation that the band explored so well speaks as much if not more to the Trump era as the Bush era. In fact, it can be overwhelming to revisit the band's albums — all thick guitar churns, unsoothing electronic enhancement and the unrelenting (if charismatic) intensity of Tunde Adebimpe's vocals — at length in the current day, when a constant buzz of agitation seems to exist perpetually as foreground noise. Taking in the entirety of the band's catalogue is enough to mess with someone's head. Bunton doesn't see that discomfort as a bad thing. 'Sometimes being challenged or being asked difficult questions is great. Sometimes it's just annoying. I can't tell you, and we could definitely be both,' he says with a laugh. At the heart of it, he sees the post-9/11 world as being rife with internal conflicts and contradictions, many of which are still being reckoned with. 'I would feel remiss if I didn't include those conflicts and that contradiction into music. It is accurate to the mirror that I see, so I'm not surprised that it feels agitated.' Advertisement It's always uncertain whether music with such a level of unease baked in will find its audience — 'It's like being seen,' offers Bunton, 'that's what 'misery loves company' is' — but TV on the Radio pulled it off. Possibly too well. 'Once you have that level of success, I've realized it just doesn't belong to us anymore,' says Bunton. 'I remember I saw myself on a poster on the subway, and I was like, 'Oh, you're a commodity now. You're like a potato chip.'' It may have helped that TV on the Radio didn't have to navigate the wilds of acclaim and success alone as it headed out of Brooklyn into the larger world two decades ago. It was one of a wave of buzzed-about New York City bands making their names at the time; Bunton — who began as TV on the Radio's drummer, stepped in for bassist Gerard Smith after his death of lung cancer in 2011 and currently plays guitar on stage — talks about living in the same loft as members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Metric and Liars, with the Secret Machines as their neighbors as they rehearsed next door to 'This stuff only happens in retrospect, but we never saw it as a scene. We never saw it as a global takeover,' Bunton says. 'I didn't feel like any of those bands were trying to sound like anything but themselves. I think that was part of the ethos of the neighborhood, for sure.' Advertisement And as TV on the Radio returns to active duty more than a decade after its last album, there's the matter of the most obvious, most boring question hanging in the air. Bunton insists that he must give the most boring answer and remain mum on whether new music is forthcoming. 'I have to have no comment on that question,' he says. 'For now, we're really happy doing what we're doing. We're really happy we made this decision. It's been a great joy to everyone. We kind of suspected it might be, and when it actually started happening, started playing shows, it just felt very, very right. I hope people come out. I'm very proud of what we're doing right now.'

Trading Day: Resilience trumps uncertainty
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Markets Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads This Week's Key Market Moves Chart of the Week Here are some of the best things I read this week: Choppier waters ahead? One of the biggest surprises in a week overflowing with them - from top-tier economic indicators , to company earnings and policy decisions from around the world - was how steadfast financial markets and U.S. stocks closed the week with gains of up to 3%, the dollar advanced, Treasury yields rose, and the VIX index of U.S. equity market volatility eased. On the surface, a strong week for investor sentiment and risk that would be only half the showed that the U.S. economy shrank in the first quarter - a statistical anomaly due to a record hit from trade, perhaps, but the first contraction in three years, nevertheless, and putting the economy halfway towards a technical of that gloom was countered by unequivocally positive GDP figures from the euro zone. And yields and stocks leaped higher on Friday after April's non-farm payrolls report showed the Trump administration's global trade war has yet to be materially felt in the U.S. labor the corporate front, dozens of leading global firms cut or declined to give forecasts in their first-quarter earnings, such is the uncertainty surrounding tariffs. Yet the overall tone from these calls this week was positive, and investors have consistently bought the post-Liberation Day of the most significant developments this week for world markets came from Tokyo, where the Bank of Japan kept interest rates on hold as expected but slashed its growth outlook and lowered its inflation forecasts. The yen tumbled, but still ended the week essentially some huge price swings in individual shares and assets. In the U.S. and beyond, there's little evidence that trade uncertainty is prompting companies to lay off workers or jack up prices. Not yet a growing belief that U.S. President Donald Trump is backing away from his more belligerent tariff threats, and that a more receptive Washington is closing in on several bilateral trade deals. Tensions with China may even be cooling the risks to growth and markets lie ahead, and a "cliff-edge type of adjustment" in the coming months is possible, warns RBC BlueBay Asset Management's Mark Dowding."There appear to be similarities to the Roadrunner cartoon, in which Wile E. Coyote keeps on running, long after the ground has disappeared beneath his feet, ahead of the inevitable moment of realisation when gravity kicks in," he wrote on consumer sentiment sliding and inflation expectations rising, stagflation looms.
