Kid Rock Scraps New York Stop on Tour due to COVID-19 Restrictions

Kid Rock has canceled one of his New York stops on his upcoming tour due to COVID-19 restrictions. Shows in both Buffalo and Toronto, Ontario, have been scrapped from the tour due to COVID-19 restrictions, with Kid Rock threatening to scrap more dates if venues try to place further restrictions that would apply to his shows.

On January 27, 2022 Kid Rock made this announcement on his Facebook page saying he won’t perform anywhere on his 2022 “Bad Reputation Tour” if there are COVID-19 protocols in place. The video was made ahead of tickets going on sale to his tour going at 10AM on January 28, 2022.

The tour will stop in 24 cities and will kick off on April 6, 2022 in Evansville, Indiana before wrapping up at Pine Knob, Michigan in September of 2022. The dates may dwindle down though if attendees are asked to wear masks and show proof of vaccinations.

“You’re going to be getting your money back because I won’t be showing up, either,” Rock said on his Facebook page. “If you think I’m going to sit out there and say don’t tell me how to live, “We The People,” while people are holding up their f-ing vaccine cards and wearing masks, that s— ain’t happening.”

“We actually scratched Buffalo, NY off the list because of that and Toronto, Canada and several other cities we were looking at. I don’t want to deal with that s— either and I know you don’t.”

The tour now has no stops in New York due to mask mandate and vaccination requirements for attending most venues, particularly in NYC. No word if other towns in New York or elsewhere are planning new mask and/or vaccination requirements that prevent Kid Rock from coming to town.

His previous residencies have racked up a myriad of critical acclaim, with the New York Times saying, “He qualifies as a founding father of a genre that fuses performance art, music and stand-up comedy.”

Mizrahi has directed theatre productions in St. Louis, as well as directed and narrated his production of Peter and The Wolf at The Guggenheim Museum. The multi talented performer has also been the subject and co-creator of Unzipped, which focuses on the making of his award winning Fall ‘94 collection.

Brooklyn’s Evolfo Rocks the World with the Announcement of “Site Out Of Mind” Tour w/shows in Troy, Canton, Rochester

Evolfo, Brooklyn’s very own psych rockers, have released the tour dates for their most recent album, Site Out Of Mind. The tour is set to take place between this upcoming March and April for a total of 12 days, across the Midwest and Northeast.

In 2021, Evolfo’s Site Out Of Mind, showed their fans a different side of what they’re capable of, expressing their uniqueness. In regards to their sophomore album, the group’s vocalist and guitarist Matt Gibbs shared, there is a mixture of “tripped out, weirdo, psych improv with our more arranged and melodic tunes.”

Along with Gibbs is Rafferty Swink on keys and vocals, Ben Adams on guitar, Kai Sorensen singing harmonies and playing trumpet, Jared Yee on saxophones, Ronnie Lanzilotta on bass, and Dave Palazola on drums. In Gibbs’ at home recording studio, all seven members shared their ideas and aided in the writing process.

Concepts derived from sci-fiction and one group psychedelic trip, led to the creation of something visionary and beyond the ordinary perspective of a psych rock album. Site Out Of Mind, takes their listeners on a journey into the depths of the spiritual mind and the afterlife.

In 2017, the rockers released their revolutionary debut album, Last of the Acid Cowboys, which totaled to over 6 million streams. However, through the use of thoughtful planning, improvisation and an extensive variety within their fresh new sounds, there’s no doubt that Site Out of Mind will be a success; some may even call it a rocker’s dream.

If the protagonist of that album died at the end of Last of the Acid Cowboys, then this was the protagonist’s internal journey, flipping the landscape, and going through the mountain of their mind in that moment of mortality; perhaps a blurring of brain activity between dying and death, between life and the afterlife.
Matt Gibbs

Tickets are currently available for sale on Evolfo. Additionally, Site Out Of Mind is available on these streaming platforms Listen / Share.

Grace Park to make her debut recital at Carnegie Hall

Violinist Grace Park and Composer Jonathan Cziner will be featured at legendary Carnegie Hall on Sunday, March 13th. They are set to perform with the New York Youth Symphony (NYSS).

Training violin since five years old, Grace Park is performing her debut recital as a part of the Roy and Shirley Durst Debut Artist Series. The San Francisco Chronicle praised Park for being “fresh, different, and exhilarating.” She will be joining the New York Youth Symphony, recognized as one of the nation’s most prestigious orchestral programs, and is set to perform Barber’s Violin Concerto, Op. 14.

Grace Park

Furthermore, Jonathan Cziner’s new work, Rauch (And Other Delights), is set to premiere during the event. Cziner’s dichotomous composition tiptoes the line between colorful and dark, which sets him apart from his contemporaries. For this reason, he is regarded as a new-age visionary, and his accolades support this claim. His orchestral work, Resonant Bells, received two accolades for its outstanding excellence. Furthermore, Cziner’s works have been performed throughout the United States.

Jonathan Cziner

Music Director Michael Repper will be leading the concert. Tickets from $30 are available at carnegiehall.org.

Everyone Orchestra to Perform at Brooklyn Bowl with members of moe., TAB, Gov’t Mule and more

Everyone Orchestra and conductor Matt Butler are celebrating 20 years of improvisation with a three show run in February, including a stop at Brooklyn Bowl Williamsburg.

Three Everyone Orchestra shows are on tap for the weekend run, with shows at Ardmore, PA’s Ardmore Music Hall on February 24, Brooklyn Bowl on February 25 and Cambridge, MA’s The Sinclair on February 26. The lineups for each show are listed below:

February 24, Ardmore Music Hall, Ardmore, PA
Everyone Orchestra, conducted by Matt Butler ft. Rob Derhak (Moe.), Al Schnier (Moe.), Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident), Aron Magner (Disco Biscuits) & Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band)

February 25, Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn, NY
Conducted by Matt Butler and featuring Al Schnier (moe.), Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band), Rob Derhak (moe.), Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident), & Danny Louis (Gov’t Mule)

February 26, The Sinclair, Cambridge, MA
Conducted by Matt Butler and featuring Al Schnier (moe.), Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band), Rob Derhak (moe.), Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident), & Danny Louis (Gov’t Mule)

In late December 2021, Butler released a 16 minute virtual opus, featuring contributions from 70+ musicians of the project’s past performers into one epic song and music video. Co-produced by longtime creative partner Todd Kushner, the mega-collaboration entitled “Heart Full of Love” is a video tapestry masterpiece highlighting dozens of fan-favorite players from our current music scene.

In January of 2021, Everyone Orchestra turned 20 years old. In my mind, I had planned an epic celebration, bringing together many musicians from all over the globe to celebrate this amazing project that has brought so much light and love throughout the years. Obviously, the pandemic has dealt us card after card, and we keep losing the hand. So I decided to contact as many EO alumni as possible and ask them to participate in a virtual version of the celebration idea I concocted with Zach Gill at the song writing helm and Todd Kushnir managing video and audio production, titled “Heart Full of Love”.

Along with the video release, Everyone Orchestra is offering a free NFT for “Heart Full of Love” that is also an augmented reality Instagram or Facebook filter, and fans interested in the NFT offering can fill out a form here.

Pink Talking Fish To Present ‘Planetarium’ at The Capitol Theatre on June 11

Pink Talking Fish are at last returning to The Capitol Theatre for another special show. After having to forget about any potential themed show plans in 2020 and 2021, the band is eager to get back to their tradition of putting on a unique performance at The Cap.

This year, Pink Talking Fish fans are gearing up for what Eric Gould (bassist) says is going to be a “multimedia voyage to outer space.” Dogs In a Pile will be kicking things off on the rescheduled date of Saturday, June 11, before Pink Talking Fish play the crowd through a visual journey to the cosmos.

Pink Talking Fish, Cohoes Music Hall, 10.22.2021

Planetarium is going to be unlike any other themed show that Pink Talking Fish has done in the past. The night won’t revolve around any specific album from Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, or Phish, but will instead focus on providing an abstract concert going experience.

If you have seen Pink Talking Fish play before, then you know just how hard their music rocks. The details of this Planetarium show remain a mystery though, just as the band intends. Pink Talking Fish fans are in for what Eric Gould knows will be a unique surprise.

@pinktalkingfish on Instagram

You can grab your tickets online here, and be sure to keep your eyes out for brand new merch at this show! Doors open at 6:30pm and the Planetarium show begins at 8:00pm. Pink Talking Fish will be traveling the country after the Planetarium show, and you can check out their tour dates here!

Blind Visionaries, Combining Live Jazz And Painting, Coming to UAlbany Performing Arts Center in February

A new art exhibit opens at the UAlbany Performing Arts Center. Blind Visionaries is a visual and musical installation that combines images from blind photographers and live jazz. The performance will be on Feb. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the UAlbany Performing Arts Center.

The photographers are from a New York City based group called the Seeing with Photography Collective. They use a new method of painting referred to as “light painting” which they will perform in a concert with a live jazz band. Their work is being published in the book Shooting Blind by Aperture.

At the event itself a voice narration from the members of the collective guides the participants through the same artistic process. At the same time, their photographs are projected on the walls to create a connection between the visual and musical.

The musical accompaniment is courtesy of Daniel Kelly. The long time composer and performer, who even worked with Lauryn Hill in the past, will be playing with his band the Danny Kelly Trio.

The group also features Adam Coté on bass and Bram Kincheloe on drums. In addition to the Feb. 3 performance Blind Visionaries will host a free show for high school students on Feb 4. Free reservations at the Performing Arts Center website.
