    In addition to being fans of alliteration, we at Behind Second Lines are wildly partial towards the musical stylings of one Lazy Lester. We have had the pleasure of seeing Lester perform Lazy Lester got his star...

    Nicole Sergent

    Not often are we scared away from a little in climate weather down south. With hurricanes, snow, sweltering days, and everything in between sometimes-sandwiched into one week, Louisiana sees some changes that can be described as erratic at best. There is always a back...

    Nicole Sergent

    Picture this: a throbbing crowd getting water guns sprayed all over them. Or maybe this: a bevy of beach balls being tossed around through an audience. Or better yet: a damn good concert.

    Nicole Sergent

    For the first time in rock history, I witnessed a shift. A shift in realizing the potential of an undervalued asset. A shift in recognizing a pattern. A shift in knowing that despite whatever horror the present presents that our future holds something brighter than all...
