  • The All-Inclusive Preview of Equifunk: The All-Inclusive Music Festival Part 3

    Equifunk: The All-Inclusive Music Festival is happening from August 16 to 18 this year and we are happy to announce a new series on that will bring you previews and interviews with bands that will be playing the festival.  The All-Inclusive Preview is happy to continue the series with a look at Soulive with The Shady Horns with legendary guest Maceo Parker.

    _______637308

    Soulive, the headliners of this year’s festival have been together since the late 90’s and have really come into their own in the last few years.  Comprised of Alan and Neal Evans and Eric Krasno, Soulive’s funk-jazz fusion is something not to be missed whenever they are in your neck of the woods.  Starting in 2010, the band has had a ten-night residency in New York City called Bowlive, held at the Brooklyn Bowl.  It is there that they gained a reputation for putting on great shows of their own music as well as welcoming guests every night of the run to perform special sets and covers.  The Shady Horns are always at these shows and are one of the tightest and funkiest horn sections around.  They give Soulive that extra little push, raising all of the music to a new height.  Having this level of energy at Equifunk is special in itself, but they are adding a living legend to the fold on top of that.

    Maceo Parker, who has worked with James Brown as well as Parliament-Funkadelic, among others, is an icon.  He is one of the best funk and soul jazz saxophonists to ever pick up the instrument.  Maceo was there when funk was originated in the 1960’s and happily continues to keep the flag flying.  He has played all over the world and has received various awards for his playing.  In the past 20 years Maceo has focused more on being a solo artist than just play with other musicians.  This collaboration is a special one, making this festival more unique than it already is.

    This mixture of talent is one of the most exceptional headliners of any festival in the area this year.  This set will surely have the crowd dancing throughout the duration enjoying the funk oozing from these amazing musicians.  Tickets are still available here and our full preview of Equifunk can be found here.

    In celebration of announcing this year’s lineup, Shinedown’s Brent Smith had a live chat with the ecstatic fans. He said that this will be different from the other years that this will feel more like an actual carnival. “No one should think this is going to be the Carnival of Madness they have seen the three years prior. Everything is brand new.”

    Carnival of Madness hits Canandaigua, NY August 16th. Be sure to check out the tour’s Facebook and website for more updates. This will be an event you will not want to miss out on!

    Blues shred-master Derek Trucks and his wife Susan Tedeschi will provide a delicious appetizer to the Crowes finale. Recently renamed the Tedeschi Trucks Band, this group provides much more then the name would indicate as a full 10-member touring extravaganza. Their new album Made Up Mind drops August 10th.

    Opening the show will be New York City’s classic rock loving improvisational trio The London Souls. Early weather forecasts look excellent and tickets are still available. Get on your dancing shoes and come on down to groove. $40 for pavilion, $30 for lawn. 6PM. All ages.

  • The Avett Brothers at CMAC With Grace Potter and The Nocturnals July 26th

    The Avett Brothers will play CMAC in Canandaigua, NY, Friday, July 26th, opening for them will be Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. The show starts at 7:30PM and tickets can be purchased at the venue box office or online at Ticketmaster.com.

    “Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name”, these words play over and over in my head every time I look into my children’s eyes, words from a song titled, “Murder in the City”, with lyrics that pull at your heart strings and bring forth deep emotions of love and devotion to those closet to us, our families. The Avett Brothers music isn’t just something to be enjoyed – they do what music is meant to do – tell stories that we can all relate to, with heavy emotions of love, hate, joy, pain, loss, forgiveness; The Avett Brothers are true musical story tellers.

    The Avett Brothers combine bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk, and ragtime to produce a sound described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the “heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones.”

    The band has been together since the early 90’s and have grown in popularity with appearances at this year’s Mountain Jam and Govenor’s Ball. The Avett Borthers are – Brothers Scott Avett (banjo) and Seth Avett (guitar)—as well as Bob Crawford (double bass). Joe Kwon, (cello) and Mike Marsh (drums).

  • Reggae Legend ‘Luciano’ Comes to Saratoga Springs July 19th

    Luciano056Nectar’s  Presents recently announced  that  The  Messenger,  Luciano  will  bring  his   brand  of  roots  reggae  to Putnam Den  on  July  19th.  Known  for  his  electrifying  epic  live performances,  he  will  be  backed  by  the  famed seven‐piece i-­KRONICK  band  for  his   much  anticipated  first  tour  of  North  America  in  years.  The  evening  will also  feature  selections  by  DJ  TRUMASTR  and  knomad.

    With  the  release  of  his  landmark  album  Where  There  Is  Life  in  1995,  Luciano   emerged  as  one  of  the  most important  reggae  singers  in  decades  and  the  greatest   hope  for  roots  reggae’s  survival  in  the  digital  dancehall  era. Since  then,  Luciano  has   released  over  45  albums  and  has  been  consistently  praised  for  imparting  conscious sentiments  of  spiritual  salvation,  Rastafarian  edification  and  African  repatriation.   Born  in  the  parish  of Manchester,  Jamaica,  he  has  influenced  countless  artists  from   Stevie  Wonder  to  the  “The  Crown  Prince  of Reggae”  the  late  great  Dennis  Brown.

    i-­Kronik  represents  the  future  of  the  ‘classic’  reggae  band.    Coming  from  the  lineage   of  the  Gumption  Band, they are  redefining  roots  reggae  with  years  of  experience   playing  on  the  world’s  largest  stages  backing  legends  such as Beres  Hammond,   Luciano,  Dennis  Brown,  Freddie  McGregor,  Barrington  Levy,  Ken  Boothe  and countless  others.
