Following the success of this show, the Allman Betts Family Revival grew into a full-scale annual tour. Now entering its 8th year, the tour is annually one of the most anticipated musical events, being known as “the jam of the year.”

    “With the number 8 also being the symbol for infinity, we want the fans to know we’re doing our part to help this music live forever in a live format. We hope to continue to take them back in time”

    – Devon Allman

    The Allman Betts Family Revival tour will begin on November 30th, outside of Chicago, before snaking its way across the country.

Since its reopening in 2011, the near-100 year old theater has become one of Long Island’s premier concert venues. Its multi-level, 1,500 person space has made it “the best club that’s ever been on Long Island,” according to Billy Joel. 

    The tour will feature two sets highlighting the Allman Brothers’ 1970s and 1990s output. As part of these sets, the Allman Betts Band will celebrate the group’s enduring hits and extended jams.

  • Troy Ramey Releases “Pick Up Truck” After Debuting in NYC

    Fresh off the streets of New York City, newcomer Troy Ramey released his latest single, “Pick Up Truck,” on June 28.

    troy ramey

    Known for his soulful voice and emotionally driven songs, Troy Ramey celebrates life’s simple pleasures; summer drives, and the joy of music.

    Originally hailing from Vermont, Ramey grew up in a household of musicians, turning to music as a way to heal after the tragic loss of his father. Since then, his music has reflected his intense passion, producing authentic, emotionally driven songs and connecting deeply with his audience.

    In 2017, Ramey competed on season 12 of NBC’s The Voice, garnering immense praise from audiences and celebrity judges Alicia Keys and Celine Dion alike. After his appearance, he moved to New York City and began to write and produce his own music, including his newest single, “Pick Up Truck.” At first, the song concept was a running joke between Troy and his longtime friend and co-writer Johnny Gates, mostly about the recurring themes within the country music genre. But after his landmark performance on The Voice, Troy continued to work with the concept, developing it into one of his favorite songs he’s recorded thus far.

    “But as I messed around on the guitar, the lyrics ‘when you hear my song, turn it up, sounds better in a pickup truck’ came to mind,” Ramey says about the track. “The song immediately was no longer a joke. It really became a song about one of my favorite things to do.”

    After the release of his first singles from his debut LP,  All I Had, the excitement for the full album only began to grow. With the full album set to release in the fall of 2024, the anticipation only grows stronger with each day. The release of “Pick Up Truck” will certainly have to do in the meantime. If the artistry and creativity behind this one single is only a preview of the full album, there is certainly a bright future ahead of Troy Ramey.

    Fans can listen to “Pick Up Truck” here, and in anticipation of Troy Ramey’s newest release, Ramey is set to play a few shows in the Northeast, starting with a stop in Patchogue, Long Island, at the 89 North.

    July 19, Friday – 89 North – Patchogue, NY.

    July 25, Thursday – The Maso Studio at The Huntington Theatre – Boston, MA.

    July 26, Friday – Next Stage Arts – Putney, VTets.

    July 27, Saturday – Newport Playhouse – Newport, RI.

  • Hearing Aide: “Better(er) Days” Brings Out The Best of Bad Mary

    On July 16, Long Island-based punk band Bad Mary released their newest EP, Better(er) Days. Their EP celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the release of their first album, Better Days.

    Complete with remixes and re-recorded versions of their first album’s hits, Better(er) Days is a refreshing, hard-hitting collection that brings out the best of Bad Mary.

    better(er) days

    In the ten years since the release of Better Days, Bad Mary released four killer EPs – Killing Dinosaurs (2016), We Could Have Saved the World (2016), Glitter Bomb (2017), and Trash And Glamour (2023), and punk-rock opera The Return of Space Girl in 2019. But despite their ever-growing discography, the band kept their first album quite near and dear to them. Ten years later, the tracks on Better Days are still part of their touring setlist.

    That being said, to be loved, at its core, is to be changed. Better(er) Days not only shows how Bad Mary has grown over time, but how much they truly loved the original songs on the original album. Bad Mary manages to keep the original integrity of each track, but the differences are still incredibly noticeable. It’s not just another way to re-release songs that fans have already heard hundreds of times, but a respectable homage to their debut. The re-release of these classic tracks shows how the band has grown over time, and how far they’ve come in the last decade. The tracks on Better(er) Days are tailored not only to each individual musician’s talent, but to their audience, giving their fans the songs they’ve loved in the past in the styles they love today.

    Harder and louder than the original album, Better(er) Days makes a point of highlighting the band’s influences: classic punk artists like The Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Misfits. Unlike the original album, the instrumentation of songs on Better(er) Days is much clearer, and the fast drums and rolling guitars juxtapose perfectly against lead singer Amanda Mac’s punchy vocals.

    Most noticeably different from their original tracks are “Ninja” and “Forget About It,” removing and replacing entire verses and backing track. For Bad Mary, Better(er) Days pays a fantastic tribute to their debut, reviving their classics in a unique way while still keeping them new, fresh, and modern. The EP perfectly reflects the roots of punk music yet updates it to the styles fans love today.

    Better(er) Days is out now and available on all streaming platforms. Listen to it here. For more information, visit Bad Mary’s website, here.
