Review: LA-based DJ Gazzo remained upbeat during his performance and shared plans to collaborate with New York City-based rock group American Authors on a new single.

By the middle of DJ Gazzo's set, only about 20 of the roughly 150 initial people were still around to jam to what was an awesome performance Friday night at The Westcott Theater.

Central New York is a hotbed of tribute performances, but the trend depends on where you're seeing the show.

When he’s performing on stage, musician Jon Braun isn’t himself. While dozens of rock singers might cop to the same sentiment (Bono especially), Braun’s loss of self has nothing to do with entering a trance or reaching a higher spiritual plane upon seeing 200 fans cheering him on. It’s more about playing a part.

Review: Now 25, pop singer Aaron Carter invited fans to the After Party at The Westcott Theater on Sunday Feb. 24.

Aaron Carter diehards waited for six hours outside The Westcott Theater in the snow and rain on Sunday afternoon, just so they could be front and center for The After Party Tour.

Their wait was well worth it.

Catherine Sasso lined up with two friends outside the Westcott around 1 p.m. hoping that she’d get a peek at Carter when his van pulled up.

After seven years off the road, Mr. Aaron's Party himself is officially back in business.

Aaron Carter is back, without adult supervision.

The 25-year-old singer known for hits like "Aaron's Party" and "How I Beat Shaq" will embark on his After Party Tour later this week after a nearly seven-year hiatus, and he's stopping at Syracuse's Westcott Theater on Sunday Feb. 24.

Review: With a disco ball illuminating the otherwise dark, warm air, fans of Yeasayer’s polyrhythmic, '80s influenced synth-pop had no choice but to dance.

As the lights went down, an intro piece that played over the PA inquired if the near-capacity crowd would like to make love. Clapping and cheering as Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton, Anand Wilder, and Jason Trammell took the stage, the crowd replied with a resounding ‘yes.'
