  • Gooseberry Gives A Taste Of New LP With Alt-Rock Single ‘Kikiyon’

    With the announcement of their highly anticipated debut album, All My Friends Are Cattle, set for release on September 6,, Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry has once again set the music world on fire. The news follows the release of their incredible new song, “Kikiyon,” accompanied by a visually stunning music video.

    “Kikiyon” is a raw and intense song that pulsates with rebellious energy. This song demands attention and makes an impression, whether you’re headbanging to the beats or wondering the meaning behind the lyrics. Listen to “Kikiyon” below.

    Moreover, their EP Validate Me cemented Gooseberry’s place as a major player in the music industry. With a growing fan base and more than 500K Spotify streams, the band started The Validation Tour and impressed audiences.

    All My Friends Are Cattle is expected to be an unmatched experience that shows the band’s versatility and inventiveness. Additionally, the album travels a wide musical setting, from lyrically-driven ballads to punch-you-in-the-mouth punk rock. With songs like “Golden,” “Cherry Blossoms,” and “Bitter,” Gooseberry creates an intense vibe that cuts across genres.

    Evin Rossington on drums and Will Hammond on bass give a powerful rhythm section that backs up frontman Asa Daniels‘s dynamic songwriting. Additionally, GRAMMY-winning artists Phil Joly and James “Jimmy T” Meslin add their production and mixing skills, guaranteeing that All My Friends Are Cattle is a masterwork.

    Further, Gooseberry is getting ready for a cross-country tour as excitement builds for their music. With All My Friends Are Cattle leading the charge, 2024 is shaping to be their year.

  • Journey’s “Freedom” comes to a close with a career-spanning show in Bridgeport

    The Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is not known for its concerts. The arena typically hosts the American Hockey League’s Bridgeport Islanders and is overshadowed by the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater which sits steps away from the entrance. During the summer months, the Amphitheater gets all the big names like Neil Young, Queens of the Stone Age, Santana and Ghost. But, once or twice a year the Total Mortgage Arena gets one or two “big hitters” in the music sphere to balance it out.

    This year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Journey closed out their “Freedom” tour in Bridgeport ahead of their run of stadium shows with Def Leppard beginning in the summer. Journey’s tour is in support of their new record, Freedom, which was released back in 2022. Fans packed the arena ahead of the 7:30 p.m. start time and the anticipation was high. The last time the band was in the area was last March in the state capital of Hartford at the XL Center.

    The Los Angeles native band Toto was again brought out on the road with Journey as their support act. On the first leg of the “Freedom” tour, Toto was also opening for Journey so fans who missed the show last year finally got to see it in a slightly smaller, more intimate venue. As fans were still filing into the arena and finding their seats, the band plugged in their instruments and started with their first song of the night, “Girl Goodbye,” off of their debut self-titled record. Toto played a total of nine songs that had the entire audience dancing and singing along.

    Toto has seven band members and brings so much power and energy to the band’s live performances. The band features Warren Ham on percussion and saxophone, Steve Maggiora on the keyboards and Shannon Forrest – who has recorded with the likes of Taylor Swift, and Willie Nelson – on the drums. Joining those three is John Pierce from Huey Lewis and the News on bass, and Greg Phillinganes on keyboard. For those who don’t know Phillinganes, his extensive career consists of touring with the likes of Stevie Wonder and was the musical director for Michael Jackson. The final two and arguably biggest stars of the band is Steve Lukather on guitar who was heavily involved in Jackson’s Thriller album and played on Oliva Newton-John’s Physical album. Lastly on vocals is Joseph Williams who was the adult singing voice for Simba in Disney’s The Lion King.

    Toto was an excellent opener for Journey, even if Lukather once screamed “Pittsburg!” instead of Bridgeport. They did a great job readying the crowd for the heavy hitters in the rock and roll sphere. Once the clock struck 9 p.m. the house lights dimmed and lead guitarist Neal Schon appeared on stage with guitar in hand. Immediately after, the rest of the band jumped on stage and jumped into “Only the Young.” The one noticeable thing between Journey and Toto was the excellent vocals and how strong they sounded as a band. It’s not very often that bands from the 80s still sound like they did when they debut but both of these bands still do.

    Joining Schon in Journey is Jonathan Cain on piano and guitar, Deen Castronovo on drums, Jason Derlatka on keyboards, Todd Jensen on the bass with Arnel Pineda on lead vocals. Pineda has been in the band for 17 years now after Schon saw him singing on YouTube and asked him to audition.

    Photo Credit: Mike Savoia

    From the very beginning of the show, it was clear just how energetic the band was. Pineda from the jump was running, dancing and jumping all around the stage. Multiple times throughout the show, he would go up to the front of the crowd and interact with fans in the first few rows. He even hopped off the stage during one song and ran through the crowd high fiving the audience.

    Journey delivered all of their greatest hits at this show. Early on they played the smash hit “Don’t Stop Believin’” off of 1981’s Escape. Their powerful set included other hits like “Stone in Love,” “Faithfully,” and “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).” At the start of each song, it brought a thunderous cheer from the jam-packed arena.

    The band was able to feed off the lively energy from the crowd. From the moment the doors opened, a recognizable buzz ran through the building. During “Lovin, Touchin’, Squeezin’,” two fans tossed a banner that said “The Journey Junkies” to Pineda to signify their love for the classic rock group. During “Open Arms,” strangers and friends embraced each other while other fans in the first few rows took out their lighters and lit them just like in the band’s golden years.

    After Cain thanked the service men and women for protecting the country and the band returned to the stage, he was wearing a Bridgeport Islanders hockey jersey that got a cheer from the audience. The band – now in the home stretch of the show – started “Wheel in the Sky.” Pineda again took to the crowd and jumped in front of the guard rail separating the first row from the stage to embrace more fans.

    While confetti and streamers were shot from the stage at the end of the last song, “Any Way You Want It,” fans were all cheering and applauding for the band as they will not be returning to the state on their next tour. Journey put on an amazing show and did not miss one fan-favorite tune. If you haven’t had the opportunity to see them yet, you must as they make one stop at Citi Field in Queens, New York. Journey is a band that continues to put on amazing shows and it’s clear why they pack stadiums across the globe. Their energy is unmatched and the fans’ appreciation in response to their hard work and dedication.

    Toto setlist: Girl Goodbye, Hold the Line, 99, Dying on My Feet, I’ll Be Over You, Home of the Brave, With a Little Help From My Friends, Rosanna, Africa

    Journey setlist: Only the Young, Stone in Love, Keep on Runnin’, Don’t Stop Believin’, Lights, Send Her My Love, Who’s Crying Now, Just the Same Way, Escape, Let it Rain, Lovin, Touchin’, Squeezin’, Open Arms, Faithfully, Girl Can’t Help It, Wheel in the Sky, Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), Be Good to Yourself, Any Way You Want It

  • Brooklyn’s Left Circles Releases Debut Album, “Nothing is One Thing” Along with Other Works

    Brooklyn-based artist Left Circles has released his debut LP titled, Nothing is One Thing on April 26. The LP contains 13 tracks, all with diverse sound from the skills of Brian Pluta and his accomplices.

    Nothing is One Thing, is not content to stay confined to one style. The hook-heavy album shifts through several modes of rock, from ‘90s lo-fi to British-pop to ‘50s folk. Left Circles is the solo project of Brooklyn-based musician Brian Pluta who is the live guitarist for Space Cadet.

    Nothing is One Thing starts out very interestingly. To me, the opening track “Over Her Range/She Told Me” has a very Foo Fighters or Pearl Jam feel. It has grungy riffs, alternative vocals, and that rugged, somber heaviness. It also sees multiple parts with soft, acoustic, touching tones.

    The next tune, “The Gashouse Gang is Here” is full of a youthful, anthem-like energy. It certainly gives me Misfits energy with its pop-alternative, quick-paced sound. Throughout many of songs on the LP, there is apparent 90s grunge inspiration as well as indie, soft-rock, and classic rock. Left Circles does not stick to a specific genre and shows the dynamic musicianship him and his band possesses.

    The album has great energy, range, and power. It boasts strong, catchy riffs, a dynamic voice, and intriguing themes and sound overall. Nothing is One Thing was mixed by Travis Harrison (Guided By Voices, Built to Spill) and features drums from Kellii Scott (Failure), as well as guest vocals from Matt Hock (Space Cadet, The Explosion). 

    Left Circles also recently released a new animated music video for their latest single “The Gashouse Gang Is Here.” The track is the second on the LP. The music video is animated by 30s cartoonist Ub Iwerks and fits perfectly over the track in every way from theme to the syncing of sound and motion.

    “I was running out of time, with no idea what video #2 would be. By the dumbest of luck, I stumbled upon this 1937 cartoon directed by Ub Iwerks, who also did ‘Steamboat Willie’ and all those early Mickey Mouse cartoons. Those folks were masters of animation/music synchronicity having been the ones who invented it. So it’s no wonder I was able to edit it to work with my straightforward 4/4 song. But the sync with Kellii’s drum fills, with what the lyrics are saying…that’s 100% chance. It’s like they were meant to go together. Art director Jon Cochran brought the illusion home with those amazing title cards.”

    Brian Pluta

  • The Driver Era Rock Out in Port Chester

    The Driver Era is a dynamic sibling duo comprising Ross and Rocky Lynch, born from the talents honed during their time in their sibling band R5. Hailing from LA, the Lynch brothers have cultivated a unique sound that blends elements of alt-rock and pop. This all results in a captivating discography that resonates with audiences worldwide.

    Since their start as The Driver Era, Ross and Rocky have embarked on a creative journey of artistic exploration. With a passion for pushing musical boundaries and a commitment to authenticity, they captivated listeners with their electrifying live performances.

    The Driver Era made a triumphant return to NY at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester. This marks a highly-anticipated follow-up to their electrifying show at Pier 17 in NYC the previous summer. Amidst a backdrop of euphoric energy, Ross and Rocky delivered a spellbinding performance that left the audience spellbound.

    The Show

    From the opening notes of “OMG” to the encore of “A Kiss,” The Driver Era unleashed irresistible hooks that had the crowd roaring from start to finish. The Lynch brothers showcased their dynamic stage presence and undeniable chemistry, commanding the stage with effortless charisma and boundless energy.

    Throughout the night, the band treated fans to hits, including “Feel You Now,” “Scared of Heights,” and “Afterglow”. Special moments such as Riker Lynch bringing out his wife to dance during one of the songs added a touch of intimacy to the performance. Rydel Lynch’s presence in the photo pit served as a testament to the band’s close family dynamic as well.

    The audience was fully immersed in the experience, with many fans sporting pink cowboy hats and waving handmade signs. One sign read “I’ll trade my hat for your shirt”, demonstrating audience dedication. The electric atmosphere reached a high when two fans threw their bras on stage during “Preacher Man,” a testament to the band’s magnetic appeal.

    As the night started to close, The Driver Era left the crowd wanting more. They decided to end the show with a euphoric encore performance of “Heart of Mine” and “A Kiss.” With their infectious energy and undeniable talent, The Driver Era proved once again why they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.

    Setlist: OMG, Feel You Now, Heaven Angel, Scared of Heights, End of Your Life, Afterglow, Low, Rumors, On My Own (from Teen Beach Movie), Get Off My Phone, Cray Z Babe E, Take Me Away, Giveuwhatuwant, Malibu, Nobody Knows, Fantasy, Preacher Man

    Encore: Heart of Mine, A Kiss

  • Woodsist Festival Will Return To Arrowood Farms

    Woodsist Festival has announced this year’s musical lineup and its return to Arrowood Farms in Upstate New York. It will take place from September 21- 22 with this year’s headliners include Yo La Tengo, Real Estate and Jessica Pratt.

    There will also be performances scheduled for Woods, Hailu Mergia, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Jeff Parker, Etran de L’air, The Messthetics, 75 Dollar Bill Big Band and more. As in previous years, the lineup has been curated by Jeremy Earl of Woods.

    Woodsist Festival

    Arrowood Farms is a sustainably-minded farm, brewery and distillery located in New York’s scenic Hudson Valley in Accord, NY. It will host the performers on two alternating stages throughout the weekend and feature food from local Hudson Valley-based vendors and craft beer brewed directly on site.

Woodsist Festival found its home at Arrowood Farms in 2019, presented in partnership with Ground Control Touring and premiere Hudson Valley concert promoters Impact Concerts, and has returned annually since 2021.

  • Blues, Roots, and Bourbon take over Buffalo

    April 20 saw year three of the Buffalo Blues and Roots festival at Buffalo RiverWorks. With help from Three Chords Bourbon, Ray Barry and Barry Entertainment has brought some strong Chicago-esque blues to Buffalo’s waterfront on April 20.

    Buffalo Blues and Roots

    Starting in 2022, Barry Entertainment has taken on the daunting task of organizing a full day of music, arts vendors, and bourbon tasting. Over this time they have welcomed international stars, Grammy award winners, and local talents to Buffalo. Vanessa Collier, Selwyn Birchwood, and Colin James to name a few. Pair theses with rising names and local talent and you now have the Buffalo Blues and Roots Festival.

    Like previous years, Three Chord Bourbon, from nearby Clarence, was named sponsor of this event, and offered up some sample of their goods. 2024 saw a Kentucky Straight Bourbon on display, along with a blended bourbon and Rye Whiskey. The straight bourbon was a nice offering subtle notes and smooth finish that left the consumer ready for more. The chatter heard around the tasting table was very positive, and seemed as though the Kentucky straight was the fans choice.

    Starting of the day was Diane Kallay. Originally from the Western NY area, Kallay has earned regional recognition over the years, winning accolades for Best Female Blues Vocalist, as well earning nominations for Best Acoustic Duo (for Kinship, with her brother), and Best Female Vocalist. Her vocal range, and ability to cover multiple genres with relative ease has led to sharing the limelight with such acts as .38 Special and The Marshall Tucker Band.

    On this night, though, Kallay performed a beautiful set along with Barry Arbogast, Paul Beringer, Sal Marino, Keith Spurlock, and Michael Mietlicki. A nice mix of sultry blues and gentle roots to welcome music fans as they entered the venue.

    Next up was Rusty Fisher. If you enjoy classic blues guitar riffs, you need to check out Rusty. Unlike 2023, where he sat in for a couple acts, Fisher had his own set time this year and made it count. Teaming up well known Western New Yorkers Dan Shurtleff (of The Growlers) and Nate Coffey, he took the stage for about an hour and did nothing but amaze the growing crowd. Lucky for locals, he is out and about often. He can be found at Fanatics Pub & Pizza on June 16th, among other venues that kick ass. Riffs, licks, and shredding seem to be the way of life for Rusty.

    Planned accordingly or pure coincidence, Shurtleff was able to remain on stage with his drum set as he is the guy for The Growlers (Facebook). With the incomparable John Lewandowski leading the charge on harmonica, Shurtleff sits comfortably at the drums and does his thing. For the third year in a row, Lewandowski and the rest of the team shook the stage and got fans yearning for more. Seeing them last year for the first time was a treat. 2024 has me looking for more of their shows.

    Joining the band on stage was local star Pat Harrington. Growing up about 45 minutes north of Buffalo, Harrington joined Victor Wainwright and The Train in 2016 and has provided a fresh youthful explosion to the band that Wainwright was seeking. Well known around the Buffalo area, Harrington has taken the blues world by storm and is has been heralded as one of the best young blues guitarists. As the night goes, Harrington would continue to join in and jam with everyone.

    As the show progresses, it seems like the next act couldn’t possibly top the previous. Enter Scott Celani and his band. Covering early music from Black Crowes, the Buffalo native and 2021 inductee to the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame came out rocking a Buffalo Bills cap, black leather jacket and aviator sunglasses, ready to play the part. I can assure you he excelled. As John Popper said “Scott has some pipes!” Not as raspy as Chris Robinson, Celani for sure has what it takes for these covers, and it was on full display as he paraded around nailing every note.

    Following the amazing faux Black Crowes show, a handful of the musicians called an audible and took the stage for a little tribute to the late Dickey Betts. On stage were Ray Barry, Pat Harrington, Guy Nirelli, Dan Shurtleff, Eric Weinholtz, and Dave Thurman. An amazing tribute to a musical legend that the fans and musicians will never forget

    Next up, Patti Parks. Another member of Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, Parks delivered a soulful set, donned in a black and red dress and fedora style hat. High energy and smooth vocals are on full display as Parks proves her worth better than a Buffalo Sabres coach.

    Buffalo Blues and Roots

    Following the dynamite set from Parks, Miller and The Other Sinners hit the stage for the third year in a row. David Miller has nothing to prove to Western NY. He and his Sinners have made a name for themselves at this event as well as others from Buffalo to Syracuse. Some would say he is a household name, and rightfully so. He has shared the stage with names such as Tedeschi, Bonamassa, Vaughn, and Copeland. In doing so, David Miller has paid his dues earned his keep. While Buffalo is not a hotbed for Southern Soul, Miller makes an exception and delivers a world class set. New album for 2024 Thieves in The Breadline includes “Better Times Better Days” which was written pre-Covid and hits on the affect of social media on our lives.

    Based out of Central NY, Tas Cru is a blues-roots songwriter/musician, with a splash of funk thrown into the mix. Take your standard blues jam and kick it up a notch, you wind up with Tas Cru. Soft, subtle lyrics and quick fingers on the guitar are only part of what makes him special. Amid a couple samples of Three Chords Bourbon, Cru flawlessly floats around and interacting with the crowd, he jokes around quips of his time touring, which all turn out to be segways into the next song. Such stories as about a young man saying he should be paid more for helping out. Cru’s response was “welcome to the blues, kid”.

    Rounding out the 9-hour jam session, Victor Wainwright came out to crowd that was the loudest it had been all day. The headlining act of the Buffalo Blues and Roots Festival was at the end of an intense leg of their tour, including back-to-back shows at the aforementioned Fanatics Pub, in Lima, NY. Regardless of that, Wainwright and his Train of musicians, including hometown favorite Pat Harrington, were full of energy as if they had downed a couple red bulls backstage. Playing the ivories and swaying on his stool, ala Ray Charles, Wainright had a story for everything. He talked about getting his musical inspiration from older Disney movies, although he came from a musical family. The music for movies like The Jungle Book were what got Victor into the blues and roots scene. His parents were happy, though, that he was still into music of some sort. Subsequently, he and the band broke out into a very jubilant version of “I Wanna be Like You”, which the crowd really took in.

    Grammy nominated and winner of Blues Music Awards for Piano Player of the Year (3x) and BB King Entertainer of The Year, Victor Wainwright is a name you will hear often and if you ever have the chance, you need to go see the show. Truly amazing and inspiring for all ages.

    The blues and roots don’t always have to be the classic sounds of Elmore James or Cab Calloway. One song from Miller and The Other Sinners or Victor Wainwright will convince you of that. Still blues and roots, but with some modern flare and ingenuity, the artists on stage today make the genre much more marketable to the new generation.

    Year three of Buffalo Blues and Roots didn’t see as many visitors as the first two years, but when you are going against a big show at the Highmark Stadium and numerous 420 events around town, you are bound to see a decline. Craft vendors, bourbon tasting and nine hours of outstanding music for a respectable price tag, one would be foolish not to check it out. Despite that, organizer Ray Barry said next year is in the works, and I will be there. In addition to this festival, Barry Entertainment (Facebook) organizes other events in and around the Buffalo area, please go check them out.
