As he got older, he began writing his own music. Later, he started recording in his makeshift garage studio and selling his CDs wherever he could. Using the money he'd made, Greene was able to release his first full-length album, Rusty Nails, on his own.

Bowling For Soup at Canal Club

Bowling For Soup

If you need a dose of unpretentious, instantly catchy pop-punk, then there are few better bands to see than Bowling for Soup. The quintet formed in the 1990s, and spent much of the decade cultivating a small but loyal following as their contemporaries (Green Day et al) took over the world. Get ready to have fun with Bowling For Soup this year!

Lake Street Dive at Maymont Park

Lake Street Dive

This Boston-formed country band has been winning over music fans with their diverse style since winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006 and self-financing the recording of their debut album 'In This Episode'. With their key influences in classic pop and swing era jazz, they often cite The Beatles as their main inspiration.

My Morning Jacket at Maymont Park

My Morning Jacket

Now established as one of the great modern alt-rock bands, My Morning Jacket have built up their fanbase steadily over the years.

The Lemonheads at The Broadberry

The Lemonheads

Don't miss your chance to see them live, with support from Juliana Hatfield, Willy Mason, and John P. Strohm.

Rise Against at The National

Rise Against

Rise Against still hold firm to the principal that punk should be about something, railing against political inequality and oppressive social forces with blistering riffs and fist-pumping, no-holds-barred sheer force of will. See them supporting their ninth album Nowhere Generation and their incredible discography, personally, we think rocking out is the perfect escape.

Dark Star Orchestra at Maymont Park

Dark Star Orchestra

The Grateful Dead have been resurrected in the form of Dark Star Orchestra. Formed in 1997, this tribute band came up with the novel idea of recreating complete sets from The Grateful Dead's gigantic list of concerts. They adapt their playing and sound depending on what era of Dead they're tackling on the night, and while they slavishly recreate the sound of the band down to the minutest detail, the band often embark on epic improvisations that would make their heroes proud.

Yachtley Crew at Beacon Theatre

Yachtley Crew

Get out your boat shoes and put on your nautical gear, Yachtley Crew is sailing Full Steam Ahead into a harbor near you this spring.
