  • Home For The Holidays: Celebrating Jerry at The Cap

    Home For the Holidays featured a stacked lineup of top-of-the-line musicians in the Dead community including Melvin Seals, Oteil Burbridge, Tom Hamilton, Duane Trucks, Jacklyn LaBranch, and Lady Chi.

    They played Jerry Garcia Band staples like “Tore Up Over You,” “My Sisters and Brothers,” and “Reuben and Cherise.” The first set started with “How Sweet It Is” and also featured “Shakedown Street,” “Eyes Of the World,” and an electric “Dancing In the Streets.”

    Hamilton and Oteil had great chemistry on stage, working off each other’s grooves. Tom was listing vigilantly to where Oteil was going but always checked in to see where Melvin was at. And when it was time to peak, Melvin was really letting it ring!

    The second set opened up with “Stop That Train” followed by “Money Honey” and a crowd favorite, “Tore Up Over You.” “My Sisters and Brothers” was touching and full of soul, it is a song about peace and brotherhood after all. The set ended with “Reuben and Cherise” and they encored by getting the whole theatre to sing along to “Shining Star.”

    Happy Home For The Holidays!

  • The Record Company Sabotage The Capitol Theatre

    On Friday April 5, The Record Company made their debut at the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. A cold and rainy evening did not deter fans from a night of foot stomping soulful Rock and Roll, that included covers of the Beastie Boys and Grateful Dead.

    Their sound incorporates slide guitar, distorted bass, Mark Cazorla’s Ludwig drum kit, and the enormous vocals of Chris Vos. It was a joy to see fans young and old come out and enjoy and appreciate a hard working rock band starting to make a name for themselves in the music scene.

    The Record Company formed in a living room in 2011, playing farmer’s markets parking lots and in front of crowds of three, putting in the time to build this three-piece band to the powerhouse it has become. “Tears have been shed, stress has happened, Fuck it; it keeps you together,” said bass player Alex Stiff. All that time and experience shines through the music of The Record Company, showing why the popularity of this band is growing daily.

    In a world full of mumble rap and this week’s newest pop star, it is a relief to see a hardworking band like The Record Company gain traction and success. Their music is refreshing and reassuring that Rock and Roll is here to stay.

    The Record Company – Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY

    Setlist: Baby I’m Broken, On The Move, Rita Mae Young, New Speedway Boogie, Goodbye to the Hard Life, Hard Day Coming Down, The Movie Song, Life to Fix, Off the Ground

  • Photo Gallery: Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Mihali

    The Flock was not disappointed at a sold-out Capitol Theatre show with Mihali Savoulidis of Twiddle, Saturday, January 26. The room was packed and a sense of excitement could be tasted in the air. It was funky. Mihali’s set featured new material, as well as Twiddle classics like “Every Soul” and a sit-in on “River Drift,” from Pigeons Playing Ping Pong basist, Ben Carrey, playing a set of whistles! Mihali’s set was unlike the Pigeons, with deep storytelling-like lyrics. This made a more intimate experience where lots of the audience had their eyes closed, deeply feeling the music.

    Pigeons Playing Ping Pong opened with “Time To Ride” and the first set highlights included the beloved “Poseidon > Eyes Of The World > Poseidon,” mashup. Pigeons paid tribute to The Capitol when Ormont changed their lyrics to Wake up to find out that you are the size of a squirrel. The crowd went wild. The second set featured “Yo Soy Fiesta,” one of Pigeon’s newer tunes, “Kiwi” and “Upfunk,” where Jeremy Schon was really shredding, going that extra mile. We have not seen this level of excitement and Schon just kept getting better.

    The encore included a rendition of  Disney’s “Colors of the Wind” during “Schwanthem” and “Doc” with the West End Blend horns sitting in. The Pigeons are building their flock and flying higher than ever.
