  • Fall Night In Brings The Fray, Great Big World and Andy Grammer to Albany

    Fall Night In, sponsored by 99.5 The River, at Albany’s Palace Theatre brought Pop to Upstate on Sept. 9. The Fray, a Christian-turned-Pop-Rock band from Colorado, headlined the show, bringing a fairly young but devoted audience to the Palace. With a simple yet creative stage set enhanced by a brilliantly designed light show, The Fray put on a good show. They are best known for their 2006 hit singles, “How to Save a Life” made widely popular by Grey’s Anatomy and  “Over My Head (Cable Car)”. While fans were thrilled to hear those hits, both the crowd and the band seemed to gain more energy and excitement during the performance of songs from their recently released album, Helios. In particular, the song “Give It Away” was very well received, despite the suggestive ’70s Disco sound, which has been largely avoided in most popular music over the past forty years.

    In fact, The Fray incorporated a lot of unexpected, but distinct styles into their songs, including Gospel in “Hold My Hand” and a funky groove in “Love Don’t Die”. Most interesting about this performance though was the way the band collectively emphasized certain instruments. Band members were given time for solos, but the musicians almost seemed to prefer putting the attention on the instruments. During one number, three of the five musicians on stage were banging on drums; for another, four of them were using a keyboard/piano. And, as was expected, The Fray’s harmonies, particularly during the ballads that made them famous were spot on.

    The opening acts for Fall Night In included the two-person Pop band, A Great Big World, who are most famous for their single “This is the New Year” (2012) thanks to Glee and Andy Grammer, best known for “Keep Your Head Up (2011).

    A Great Big World was the evening’s great big surprise. Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino, who formed the band while enrolled at NYU, do not look like typical Pop stars. They might be more aptly described as hipsters, with a strong “nerd” factor. At first awkward on stage, once they started playing, power and passion popped out, and the band’s quirkiness became very appealing. Just like the white clothes they wore against the black stage, their nerdy appearance contrasted with a charming performance. Axel’s Sesame-Street-type voice against his fierce keyboarding also seemed like a contradiction, but it worked — really well (bringing to mind a young Elton John). “Land of Opportunity” was especially captivating. Ignoring the lyrics, the song sounds very happy, positive and upbeat (making me want to communicate with smiley-face emoticons).  But once you pay attention to the words and Axel’s passionately angry keyboarding, you realize that the song’s meaning is far from happy; it’s actually about a devastating break-up.

    “Say Something” the song that attracted the attention of Christina Aguilera in 2013 and  launched the young band into fame, was played solo by Axel. The enchanting artistry of his performance left the entire auditorium absolutely silent. But not for long; as soon as Axel finished, the crowd exploded with admiration and as his band members rejoined the stage, they too seemed impressed.

    Both, A Great Big World and Andy Grammer, who opened the night, were very interested in dialogue with the audience, telling stories and sharing song meanings. This goes a long way in a live performance, allowing fans to connect with the musicians in a personal way. Grammer is a natural entertainer; not only is his music catchy, but he is also really funny. His song, “Forever” about the amount of time it takes for women to get ready to go out, was a surprising treat. He delighted his young fans with his 2011 hit, “Keep Your Head Up” and managed to engage the older audience members as well with good stories, many related to the Upstate community, where he spent some of his younger years.

    All three bands are continuing to tour, but not together. Both The Fray and A Great Big World will be heading to Europe soon, and Andy Grammer is ambitiously traveling throughout the US and overseas. Grammer will perform at The Palace again on Nov. 26 for the O.A.R. show.

  • Nas Kicking off Illmatic’s 20th Anniversary in New York

    nas 2014 tour

    This year marked the 20th anniversary of Illmatic by Nas and he has dedicated the entire year to this landmark album. This fall he will be touring in support of not only the album, but also the documentary film Nas: Time is Illmatic. This film follows the making of the album to how it is seen and heard today. The film will open theatrically via the Tribeca Film Festival on October 1st followed by a nationwide expansion to follow. At these shows not only will Nas play the album from front to back, but at most stops the documentary will be shown as well.

    “I want to thank Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and the Tribeca Film family for all of the love and support they’ve given Time Is Illmatic,” said Nas. “It is an honor to be in partnership with them, and I feel there is a cultural kinship bonded by the city of New York.”

    “When we started this project, Erik Parker and I couldn’t imagine that audiences would one day be able to experience the film with a live performance of Illmatic, the album that started it all. It will make each night a truly special moment for the culture. We are sure people of all generations will be inspired by the story of Nas, the Jones family, and electrified by a live performance,” said One9.

    The tour kicks off at Rochester’s Main Street Armory on October 2 and stops at Albany’s Palace Theatre on October 3. Unfortunately Rochester will not have a screening of the documentary, but Albany will. These shows are sure to be special and tickets go on sale this Friday August 15th.

  • The Queens of the Stone Age Held Court at the Palace

    Albany rocked on Sunday, July 13 when Queens of the Stone Age rolled into The Palace Theatre. Nearly 2,000 fans of diverse ages were remarkably well behaved while entertained by this band that has performed together since 1996.

    The average rock show typically captivates with BIG personalities who look or behave in striking or outlandish ways. They generate audience excitement by talking to fans between songs or with an elaborate stage. Not QOTSA. (Or their opener, Brody Dalle, for that matter.) The Queens’ frontman, Josh Homme came across as somewhat unassuming. He definitely does not look like the average modern rock star, he appears clean cut with his short hair, simple clothes and lack of obnoxious tattoos. (Apparently he has 17 of them, but they aren’t the focus of his on-stage appearance). He had very little to say to fans during the show — most of what came out of his mouth were lyrics.

    The visual focus of the show was definitely NOT on Homme or any other member of the band — it was on the light show. These guys have invested in great lights and a brilliant lighting tech. All this to take the focus off the band? I don’t know, but it worked. The lights were impressive. And, of course, the music was good. While their grunge roots run deep, this group’s talent lies in their ability to successfully incorporate a variety of styles. Lots of strong, cool bass backed by deep drums, screaming guitars and strong vocals. In their music you can hear The Ramones and Alice in Chains. Unfortunately, Homme’s great voice seemed somewhat hollow or muffled, and while that could have been an equipment issue, you couldn’t help to wish for more clarity so the lyrics could be clearly heard.

    QOTSA’s opener shared a somewhat reserved stage presence. Brody Dalle, who is also Homme’s wife, led the group that warmed up Albany’s fans. Dalle’s fast, hard sound and “bad girl” appearance are reminiscent of Joan Jett, but like QOTSA, there’s not a lot of ego-mania going on. Dalle seemed almost uncomfortable on stage — rarely looking in the direction of the fans and taking a head-down type of approach. That didn’t bother the Albany crowd though, they were enthusiastic and maybe a bit surprised at how hard the lady played. She succeeded in getting fans psyched; they were on their feet from QOTSA’s first song to the last.

    Set List: Keep Your Eyes Peeled, You Think I Ain’t Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire, No One Knows, Avon, My God Is the Sun, Smooth Sailing, In the Fade, Hangin’ Tree, The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret, If I Had a Tail, Like Clockwork, I’m Designer, Make It Wit Chu, Fairweather Friends, Little Sister, I Sat By the Ocean, Sick Sick Sick, Go With the Flow
    Encore: The Vampyre of Time and Memory, Monsters in the Parasol, A Song for the Dead

  • The Palace Welcomed the King of the Blues, B.B. King on the 17th

    The Palace in Albany hosted the legendary B.B. King, one of the greatest guitarist of all time, and King of the Blues, on Thursday the 17th of April, to a crowd of all ages and backgrounds who all shared a love for the blues. The venue buzzed with teens in blue jeans and adults in fur, parading in the lobby and the aisles, eager for the magic of B.B. King and his guitar “Lucille.” The band warms up the stage with instrumental jazz, each stretching their musical muscles as guests take their seats. The introduction was made and B.B. King was escorted onto the stage, making for a grand entrance as the crowd greets him with a standing ovation. He takes a seat at center stage and goes through the introductions of the band, poking fun and setting the laid back tone of the evening.

    “Here is something for the lovers tonight,” B.B. cooed as the band opened with “I Need You.” His voice is still strong as his vocals are crisp and echoed beautifully around the Palace. He plays each note on purpose with an incredible ease and care. The long exaggerated plucking is second nature to him and so are the blues. “You Are My Sunshine” started a massive sing-along that was adorable coming from everyone in the audience. As the lights would begin to darken, B.B. would request them to be brighter as he got a kick from looking out at all the fans trying to get his attention; this shifted the focus off of the music and was a bit irritating.

    But the show went on to “Rock Me Baby,” a sophisticated, sexy song with a slow tempo, consistent buildups from the band, and rebellious guitar riffs from B.B. The show came to an end all too soon as B.B. said his good nights with a very slow exit. B.B. King still performs with a smile, booming vocals and mighty hands, but it was a disappointment to have the show end so early with such a short setlist. Despite his distracted stage presence, the 88-year-old musician is still a must see act as he continues to spread the blues to Upstate NY and beyond.

  • Experience Hendrix 2014 Stops in Albany

    The Experience Hendrix 2014 Tour stopped in Albany, NY’s Palace Theatre on March 28th, 2o14, for a night of tribute to one of rock and roll’s first gods: Jimi Hendrix.

    The annual tour is produced by Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s younger sister, as a tribute to her brother’s life and music. Along with featuring artists who cover his music while showcasing their own talents, the show presented short clips from a biographical documentary. The full house was treated to many different musicians, but highlights certainly included Doyle Bramhall II, Dweezil Zappa, Eric Johnson, Ana Popovic, Billy Cox, and Buddy Guy.

    The tour has featured all types of virtuosos and has functioned essentially on the premise that “this is how Jimi would want to be remembered: in a fun, musical way,” to paraphrase Janie Hendrix. In fact, at the beginning of the show, Billy Cox said, “we like a rowdy crowd!” and launched into a high-energy performance of “Stone Free,” just to get the crowd to clap along.

    Hendrix4WEB But this was simply a warm up compared to the next part of the show which took the audience to a whole new level of energy. The legendary Eric Johnson (Cliffs of Dover) took the stage and had no fear of imposing his 100-pound violin tone and Texas accent on “Power to Love.” Johnson also threw his own spin onto each song as set-mates Scott Nelson and Chris Layton, as well as Eric Gales at one point, allowed time for duels and improvisation. 

    When Ana Popovic took the stage alongside Dweezil Zappa, she took full force, never leaving an opportunity to play another note. However, Zappa was not hard-pressed to keep up; he became his own force as they dueled for the audience’s awe. Together, they covered “House Burning Down,” and “Can You See Me?” Besides Zappa and Popovic’s ability to play guitar in an unbelievable fashion, the audience soon learned that Popovic had an uncanny ability to sing Hendrix songs as well.

    The standouts of the night, though, included Doyle Bramhall II, Jonny Lang, and Buddy Guy, all of whom impressed the audience with their ability to collaborate with other musicians while mixing in their own style and keeping an overall handle on the music. As the night went on, the crowd became more and more excited, screaming, “excuse me while I kiss the sky,” while Eric Gales powered his way through “Purple Haze.”

    Jonny Lang’s ability to cover “All Along the Watchtower” left those watching in awe; his voice was both majestic and practiced. He put on a show with the quality of his cover certainly rivaling both Dylan’s and Hendrix’s versions. Not only this, but Kenny Wayne Shepherd and singer Noah Hunt covered “Gypsy Eyes.” Hunt may have appeared underconfident on stage, but his ability to vocally mimic Shepherd’s solo paved the way for the final act of the night.

    Buddy Guy has never really lost it. He can still play guitar as well, if not better, as he did years ago. The tone of his guitar is warm and his charisma and control of the crowd are almost political. There is not much to say about Buddy Guy — especially after his onstage appearance with Billy Cox to play “Hey Joe” — that has not been said throughout the years. This show was truly wonderful and it is not one fans will forget for a long time to come.

    Setlist: Stone Free, Message to Love, Freedom, House Burning Down, Can You See Me?, Power to Love, Ezy Rider, May This Be Love, Are You Experienced?, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Hear My Train a Comin’, Angel, New Rising Son, All Along the Watchtower, Fire, Spanish Castle Music, Gypsy Eyes, Come On (Let the Good Times Roll), Voodoo Chile, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Who Knows, Louisiana Blues, Them Changes, Hey Joe, Red House

  • Paula Cole and Marc Cohn Visit The Palace Theatre in Syracuse

    It is not very often that Central New York is treated to Grammy Award winning artists, let alone two in one night at the same show.  On January 12th, the Palace Theatre in Syracuse, NY was honored to feature Paula Cole and Marc Cohn in their limited engagement tour.

    Paula Cole & Marc Cohn
    Paula Cole & Marc Cohn

    The show opened with Paula Cole, accompanied by long time band mates percussionist, Ben Wittman and guitarist, Kevin Barry on a number that immediately drew in the audience with the strong beat and lyrics.  She had me as she began to stomp and clap to the beat as though she was performing a Latin American dance of some sort.  When an artist can stand up and perform as an entire musical instrument through body percussion and beat-boxing, I’m hooked.  I loved her voice and musicality (I am a sucker for a piano every time), however I soon realized that it would be her lyrics that stood out to me .  Her ability to take life’s moments and place them to music and tell a story is not an easy feat, and she does it beautifully.  Paula narrated her songs as she performed them.  As she explained at what point and time in her career she wrote them, who and what they pertained to, and how she was influenced by many personal stories, it made the listener more attentive to not only the music, but the lyrics and gave them a sense of ownership in the song.

    Paula Cole
    Paula Cole

    Reminiscent of past singers and writers of other eras, Paula’s music brought me back to a time in the 60’s and 70’s where music was written to deliver a message.  Messages in songs such as “Billy Joe” demonstrated a side of touring that is not so glamorous but filled with numerous lonely and isolated days on the road only to pick up and move on again from city to city.  Her song “Happy Home” is written as a tribute to her mother and way for her to express her understanding of her situation.  Paula described seeing in her mother’s eyes a her longing to be more than just a wife and mother.  She saw the longing to let out an adventurous creative woman that was inside but never broke free because she was bound by the duty of her generation to be a wife and mother and maker of the “Happy Home”.   She revealed to the audience that when writing her hit “I Don’t Want to Wait”, it wasn’t originally written to be the soundtrack for Dawson’s Creek, however it was a message about ending the cycles of anger and abuse that families go through at times.  She also delivered wonderful covers of Burt Bacharach’s “Walk on By’ and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”.  Again delivering them with a fortitude and spunk that resonated an inner strength within her and clearly gave her audience an impression of who she is and what she is all about.

    No matter what tune she is performing or writing, you can be rest assured that Paula Cole will deliver it with a strength and presence that resonates who she is and what she stands for. If I was to describe her music style I would definitely call it versatile and eclectic.  Many times artists tend to create a “sound” that is distinctively their own.  Often done so with several songs that begin to sound the same.  Although Paula’s music has a common thread and sound, each song takes on a life of its own delivering an unique sound and poignant message.  This eclectic vibe is what makes her extremely talented and demonstrates how she refused to become cookie cutter.  Instead she pushes her boundaries and the listener to gifted with music that is new and fresh and different.

    As Marc Cohn took the stage you immediately knew that you were in for a treat.  He drew in the audience with his bluesy sound and forceful voice performing Willie Dixon’s “29 Ways”.  Wow is all I could say. Again, I was hooked.  Joined by Kevin Barry on guitar and Glenn Patscha on keyboards, this trio took over the audience for the rest of the evening and kept them rocking.  As he sang this and other songs, his improvisations were amazingly witty and lightened the mood of each audience member reminding us that we were there to have a good time and loosen up.  Although he was the most amazing musician, he clearly was a performer and really down to earth person.  Anyone who can improvise lyrics in songs as he goes and crack jokes while doing so, is a true performer.

    Marc Cohn

    Inspiration comes from many sources for each artist, and I detected  a similar bluesy pop quality to songs “Walk Through This world With Me” and “Perfect Love”,  which were reminiscent of tunes from Eric Clapton and James Taylor, and similar artists of that time period.  While “Silver Thunderbird” had a tad hint of Jackson Browne in it, in my opinion.  You could tell with choices of tunes he’s recorded over the years his influences on his music and his song writing.  His album Listening Booth, 1970 is an entire album dedicated to influences on his music as he covers songs such as “Wild World” and “After Midnight”.  But it is his rendition of “Baby I’m Amazed” that is my ultimate favorite and is a beautiful tribute to an amazing songwriter and performer, Paul McCartney.

    Marc brought Paula out to join him on this last show of their short tour to sing “The Letter” a song made famous by The Box Tops back in 1967 during the Vietnam War era and another on the Listening Booth album.  Their rendition and styles mesh perfectly to deliver a jazzy rendition of the tune.

    Paula Cole & Marc Cohn
    Paula Cole & Marc Cohn

    Musicians often write songs for hire and at times suffer from writers block and go for extended periods of time without writing any new material.  Marc shared his personal story one of these blocks he went through recently and for the first time in four years he broke through this block and how he did just this.  He recently was asked, along with several other NYC musicians, to put together a song to accompany a story.  The project revolved around a story of the men that come from Canada with their Christmas trees to sell on Broadway each year during Christmas time in NY City.  They don’t usually have much money and often no where to stay.  With the help from an unlikely source in the story was the song “Treeman” born.  “Treeman” will be featured as the project song and we were fortunate to be one of the first audiences to hear his new song, and it was amazing.  It was as if he saved all his best lyrics from the past four years to use in one song.

    Marc Cohn
    Marc Cohn

    Marc often is asked if he ever gets tired of singing his hit “Walking in Memphis” and he’s adamant about how proud he is of the song and how he never tires of playing this one.  As a huge fan, I must say I am so thankful he doesn’t tire of it, because he audiences never will.  This is his signature tune.  The one most adored by fans all over, and rightly so.  This tune will be one of the classic tunes that will span generations and be covered by artists in the future, just as Marc covered the tunes of those that inspired him.

    Overall the shows from both Paul Cole and Marc Cohn were beyond amazing.  They are the perfect pairing to compliment each others styles, and for audiences attending. The playlist for the evening in both sets brought the audience back to a time when music was mostly performed acoustically with just a singer/songwriter and a piano, and without the pomp and circumstance, but just the music and the audience.  Central New Yorkers were treated this evening, and we thank Paula and Marc for making a stop to share such talent in our neck of the woods.

  • moe. head Eastbound to take over Albany

    Standing out in the cold is rarely a good time, but this did not stop the masses from waiting outside the Palace Theatre in Albany for moe. and Eastbound Jesus to kick off two nights to close the year out in Albany. The doors didn’t open until 7 pm, yet there were plenty of people waiting to get in, standing around, mingling, and talking about what songs would be played, how excited they were to get in and see two of the hottest bands around.

    Eastbound Jesus, from Greenwich, New York, had the crowd’s attention from the moment they took the stage at The Palace Theater, opening up for moe.’s first of two nights to cap off 2013. ”Waiting for the Sun” off Northern Rock was not your typical bluegrass, mixed with electric guitar solos. This is one of separating factors Eastbound from the mainframe of bluegrass. This jam could have gone on infinitely, but as they were the opening act, time restriction definitely brought this jam of endless possibilities to a halt. “Where the Winter goes” focused on harmonizing echoing the sound of Fleet Foxes, Crosby, Stills & Nash, among others, giving fans a chance to see this band for their many instruments, but also having a genuine good time on the stage, with the overflow engulfing the crowd. The multiple instruments played was very impressive, and although the lead guitarist Adam Brockway handled most of the solos and banjo player Luke Anderson filling a key role in many of the band’s extended runs. Closing the set with “The Ballad of Eastbound Jesus”, the crowd started to clap their hands to the beat, leaving the band and crowd mutually happy. Eastbound Jesus played their songs tight and had the crowd in the palm of their hand in an opportunity to showcase their sound to a wide audience.

    There are umpteen jam bands in the music scene today, mostly sounding very similar and almost having no identity. moe. is not one of these bands. With a unique sound spanning many musical horizons from psychedelic to hard rock, moe. covers it all. The set opener, “Paper Dragon”, had these aspects. Starting out slow with the emphasis on Jim Loughlin’s percussion playing, he was busy on his many instruments to keep the rhythm going. This was not the case for long as the song sped up and guitarist Al Schnier began to shred, a recurring theme for the evening. The drums, led by Vinnie Amico and anchored by Loughlin transitioned into the forgettable “Y.O.Y”, just a lot of sound over more sounds, doing very little for the crowd. This would’ve become a problem if the band stayed on this course, however the mess known as “Y.O.Y” shifted into one of the nights highlights, “George”, which had the crowd going utterly nuts as they sang along to the line “It’s not my problem!”, followed with a tremendous jam led by Schnier . The first set was very much a set based around the guitar playing of Al, although the vocals of Rob Derhak and the guitar playing of Chuck Garvey were very apparent in helping them come together.

    The second set opened with “Zed Naught Z”, rocking the fans right out of their seats, with nary an individual sitting down. Loughlin had a tremendous xylophone solo that sounded like a carousel ride, transitioning into a spacey Grateful Dead-style jam, almost losing the crowd. “Timmy Tucker” hooked the crowd back in, and quickly. The jam that ensued showed patience and timing, particularly as Amico’s drums and Loughlin’s percussion complimented Derhak’s bass and vocals and the rhythm became tight. Garvey and Schnier were able to duel guitars, creating a unifying sound between them, jamming another fan favorite, “Akimbo”. A straight forward song, “Akimbo” was fun but nothing special, and segued right back into Timmy Tucker”, with fury from the wailing guitars. This five song palindrome of the set was finished with “Zed Naught Z”, seeing everything come full circle. The patience to get from point A and go all over the place and ending at point A is a talent very few bands possess. “Opium” segued into another favored moe. classic, “32 Things”. The crowd sang along, everyone cheering for more moe. when it was finished.

    The band came back out and played a cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla”, a heavy number which did just as an encore should do: left the crowd wanting more. They would get more later that night, as it was already New Years Eve. As the doors opened and fans dispersed onto Pearl Street, the cheers and claps were proof to patrons on the street that a very good time was had at the Palace.
