    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.

    Get tickets to Black Crowes and Tedeschi Trucks Band here or at the CMAC box office.

  • 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).

  • moe. Shreds the Lot at ‘Party in the Park’ in Rochester

    Upstate improvisational legends moe. brought their jam marathon’s to Rochester’s Party in the Park series June 20th. Often locally referred to as “Party in the Parking Lot”, this series deserves more credence. While it’s correct that the events take place in an area also often used to park cars, what is missed by local denizens is that there is ample space provided, an excellent “big-time” stage, copious amounts of affordable vending, convenient entry and exit points, a picturesque view of the Flour City bridge and tons of nearby parking. People must not care that much though, as this event was packed from end to end.

    moe party in the parkmoe. came straight out of the gate at full speed with fan favorite “Happy Hour Hero”. The first set was a short one, but offered excellent takes on “Sensory Deprivation Bank” and “Akimbo” as well as some voice box fun from Chuck Garvey. During setbreak, fans enjoyed music from buskers, beer from Rochester based breweries Rohrbachs and Genesee, and several food trucks filled with tasty treats.

    moe party in the parkSecond set began while the sun was going down, allowing fans a glimpse at moe.’s top tier light show.  Also offered was plenty of shreddy guitar interplay between guitarists Chuck Garvey and Al Schnier. Highlights included a fiery “Wicked Awesome”, the always epic “Brent Black” and a top-speed encore combo of “Spine Of A Dog->Meat”.

    Setlist: moe., Party in the Park, Rochester, NY – June 20, 2013

    Set 1: Happy Hour Hero > Sensory Deprivation Bank, Understand, The Ghost Of Ralph’s Mom, Hi and Lo > Big World > Akimbo
    Set 2: Haze > Wicked Awesome, Puebla > Billy Goat > Tailspin > Brent Black
    Encore: Spine Of A Dog > Meat

    Upcoming Party in the park shows include John Browns Body on 7/11, Great Big Sea on 7/18 and Leon Russell on 7/25

  • Hey Man, Nice Comeback: 1990’s Alt-Rock Legends Filter Release New Album and Rage Montage Music Hall

    “That guy, you see that guy? He gets it. He knows how to support live music”, said Filter front man Richard Patrick as he was pointing right at me. “And wearing a Tool shirt,  that band is awesome!”. People are slapping me on the back and handing out high fives. I give him the double metal sign back and the band blasts into another song.

    35-DSC_0220

    Much of Filter’s June 18th show at Rochester’s Montage Music Hall went like this. As a more than 20 year vet on the national touring scene, Mr. Patrick certainly knows how to successfully work an audience. The band delivered an exceptional set full of energy, including classics like “Take a Picture”, “Do You (Trip Like I Do)”, and “Zero”, each of which were mixed in with enough deep cuts to make even the most jaded Filter vet (if such a thing could exist) ecstatic. Towards the end of their set the band delivered an angst-filled take on The Turtles classic “Happy Together”. After the song, front man Richard Patrick exclaimed they had never played that before and that we had all ‘made history together.’ This was a fantastic performance by adept performers that have managed against all odds to stay fully on top of their game. Syracuse’s Without Regret and Rochester’s Ghostfeeder opened the show with high energy performances of their own.

    43-DSC_0283

    Filter is touring in support of their new album The Sun Comes Out Tonight. Released June 4th, the disc blazes through 12 songs in under 50 minutes. The disc opens with the headbanging track “We Hate it When You Get What You Wanted”, an obvious and excellent nod to those with envy issues. The rock keeps flowing through the following track and lead single “What Do You Say”. The lighter side of Filter is apparent with the family oriented “Surprise” and drug-haze-aftermath ode “Watch the Sun Come Out Tonight”. The entire album does an excellent job at merging the tapestry of Filter’s 20 year career of playing with different genres into one cohesive unit. Present are the full steam ahead headbangers, the introspective dark-edged softer tracks and forays into electronica influenced rock. The album ends with a twosome of songs, “It’s My Time” and “It’s Just You”, both of which invoke a non-copycat similarity to mega-hit “Take a Picture”. An excellent offering by seasoned veterans. Twenty years later, Filter has still got it. Check them out on the Summerland Tour throughout July.

    Key Tracks: What Do You Say, Come Watch The Sun Come Out Tonight, Take That Knife Out of My Back
