  • Oscars 2024 Music Nominees Includes Robbie Robertson, Billie Eilish, and More

    The 2024 Oscar nominations were just announced, featuring Robbie Robertson receiving a posthumous nomination for Killers of the Flower Moon, Billie Eilish for Barbie, and more.

    oscars

    The 2024 Oscars will occur on Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. With an eclectic mix of musicians, the music nominees are bold and diverse, creating songs for some great films last year.

    In the Best Original Score category, Robbie Robertson earned a posthumous Oscar nomination for his score for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Robertson, composer, songwriter, and musician known for the influential group the Band, died Aug. 9 at age 80. He was a longtime collaborator with Scorsese, starting with 1978’s The Last Waltz. The iconic director acknowledged Robertson in a statement about the Oscar nom, writing ” I only wish that Robbie Robertson had lived to see his work recognized—our many years of friendship and Robbie’s growing consciousness of his own Native heritage played a crucial role in my desire to get this film onscreen.”

    Other nominees in that category include Flushing native and infamous composer John Williams for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Williams has received almost 80 GRAMMY nominations for his work in iconic films, and 54 Oscar nominations, the most of any living person. Ludwig Göransson’s emotionally charged compositions for Oppenheimer earned a rightful nomination, and English musician Jerskin Fendrix received his first nom for Poor Things.

    In the Best Original Song category, Diane Warren earned her seventh consecutive Oscar nom for “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, her 15th overall. Jon Batiste, who won an Oscar three years ago for collaborating on the Soul score with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, got his first best original song nod for “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony, a documentary about a year in his life.

    Killers of the Moon received another Oscar nomination with “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” by Scott George. Barbie spawned two best song nominees, the first film since La La Land seven years ago. “I’m Just Ken” by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt and “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, which also received several GRAMMY noms, made it on the ballot.

  • Grace Potter Brings the Mother Road to the Capitol Theatre

    Grace Potter performed at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on January 18, in support of her 2023 release, Mother Road.  This performance marked the third stop on a tour extending through August.  Backed by a dynamic four-piece band, Potter delivered a two-hour rock exhibition, captivating and thrilling her fans at The Cap.

    As the house lights dimmed, a stage metamorphosis evoked the sensation of traveling down Route 66 in the 1960s.  Enveloped in the simulated radiance of tour bus headlights, a silhouette materialized, and Potter took center stage, kicking off the show with “Lady Vagabound” from Mother Road.

    The night was a musical inferno, igniting the stage from the instant Grace made her entrance. Throughout the night, Potter embodied a kaleidoscope of personas. In the early moments, she became a tornado, swirling dynamically around the stage.  The song “Your Girl” from Midnight saw Potter confidently striding across the stage, and when “Good Time” hit, it nearly lifted the roof off the house with its electrifying energy.

    The evening resonated with an array of new songs. Nearly half of the Mother Road recording found its place in the setlist.  “Ready Set Go,” from Mother Road, showcased Grace’s raw and textured voice, infusing the song with the necessary vigor.  Long time GP & The Nocturnal fans were not left by the wayside. Tunes like “Medicine” and “Ah Mary” made their way to the night’s set list. 

    In the latter part of the evening, Potter graced the stage alone, accompanied only by her guitar.  During this intimate moment, she presented a heartfelt interpretation of Etta James‘ “I’d Rather Go Blind.”  Her minimal guitar accompaniment, combined with a deep haunting vocal, emerged as the focal point of the night.  While this change in vibe deviated from the earlier energy, it introduced another layer to Grace’s seasoned rock ‘n’ roll expertise.

    This was also an evening of musical milestones. Brittney Spencer, the opening act, was releasing her debut album, My Stupid Life, at the stroke of midnight.  Moreover, this was her first time opening for Grace Potter marking another significant first in her burgeoning career. 

    Recognized recently by Rolling Stone as one of the “25 Artists to Watch,” Spencer demonstrated why she earned such acclaim.  Commanding the stage with a powerful presence and a voice of sultry richness, she allowed her self-penned tunes to resonate not only within the theater but also in the hearts of those who listened.

    Spencer collaborated with Potter for two duets during the show. She joined Grace in an acoustic rendition of “Little Hitchhiker” from Mother Road, and later during the encore, they united their voices for a cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released.”  In each instance, their voices harmonized seamlessly, crafting a singular and exquisite sound.

    Potter wrapped up the evening with a four-song encore, starting with a rocking version of “Paris (Ohh La La).”  To bring the night to a close and with the audience illuminating the space with their phone lights, Grace concluded with “Stars.”  The harmonious glow enveloping the hall against the backdrop of darkness orchestrated a melodic moment that transported everyone into a symphonic realm beyond.

    The tour takes Potter and crew to The Paramount in Huntington on January 24th, The Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, NJ on January 25th, and The Filmore in Philadelphia on January 26th, with Brittney Spencer opening all three shows. 

    Grace Potter – Capitol Theatre, Port Chester – January 18, 2024

  • Horseheads Venue “The L” Permanently Closes

    A live music venue in Horseheads, NY has decided to permanently close its doors to the public for reasons out of their control.

    The L,” which operates out of the Journey Church has been an attractive venue for a multitude of shows in the same space where the church holds services.

    The L Horseheads
    “The L” in action at the Journey Church

    A variety of events were offered by The L, including musical concerts, martial arts performances, film festivals, comedy, and fashion shows. As reported by WETM18, the main reason for the disappointing shutdown is the sheer volume of noise complaints the venue has caused over the years. It has also been reported that a large reason for closing stems from the church’s reduction in its tax-exempt status. The L is organized by third-party organization, iMatter, a non-profit foundation which has been facilitating events with the venue since its creation in 2021.

    Given the situation with the Town, the reduction of our property tax-exempt status, the multitude of noise complaints, the difficulty and expense of mitigating the noise issues and the strain on our people caused by putting on the “L” events, there is no way that we can continue to host The “L” at our facility at the conclusion of the 2023 season’. 

    Given these facts, the effort required to memorialize an agreement with iMatter seemed to me to be better placed elsewhere.

    From an October 30 email to Town of Horseheads Attorney John Mustico from Reverend Kevin O’Shell, interim senior pastor at the Journey Church, home of “The L”

    With these unfortunate circumstances, members of the Horseheads community are saddened and let down. Some speculate there are other motives behind the owner of the venue.

    Joey Lanzillotto, booking agent for the venue said via a post on Facebook that he hopes no one else is “duped” by the “criminal hiding behind his holy facade,” in reference to the owner and his motives. He also said “All good things must come to an end, but I’ll never forget seeing everyone pack this room and truly experience the venue this area has deserved for so long. I truly appreciate everyone who supported this vision. We love you all. We’ll be back.”

    Many other members of the community have voiced their opinions on the WENY News Facebook page explaining that the closure of the venue is unreasonable and “a win for the Karens,” suggesting NIMBYism is at play in the closure of The L in Horseheads. A good number of commenters have stated the noise complaints are nothing short of falsehoods, and that The L has done more for their community than the church itself.

    With the closure of The L, Horseheads is now a town without a single music venue. The nearest one is Tag’s Summer Stage, 10 miles away in Big Flats. Aside from Tag’s Summer Stage, there are practically no other venues in the Southern Tier, leaving the population in this region of the state without a home for rising artists and regular, accessible live music throughout the year.

  • Disco Biscuits Announce Album Release Show At Webster Hall

    The Disco Biscuits have announced an upcoming album release show for Revolution in Motion at New York City’s famous Webster Hall. The much anticipated gig is set to take place on March 29, coinciding with the release date of the band’s first new studio project in more than nine years. It comes in the midst of an already expansive 2024 winter tour, right in between performances scheduled for Wilkes Barre, Pa and Buffalo. It also marks the return of The Disco Biscuits to Webster Hall for the first time in nearly 25 years.

    Revolution in Motion is already being touted by the Biscuits’ fanbase as the bands latest rock opera, following in the footsteps of Hot Air Balloon and Chemical Warfare Brigade. This latest one was originally conceptualized by guitarist Jon Gutwillig and collaborator Joey Friedman in 2021 before they brought Biscuits keyboardist Aron Magner in to help write the following year. The songs, which tell the tale of an alien interstellar journey, have all made their way into the band’s live repertoire one by one upon completion and are now ready for their official release in album form.

    “With a large part of the space opera taking place in New York City, we thought it was only appropriate to play a show there on the day of its release,” noted Magner. “After our late-night rager at the Palladium over our New Year’s run in 2023, we can’t wait to get back to NYC and tell this story from start to finish.”

    The Album Release Show at Webster Hall will go on sale to the public on Friday, January 26 at noon E.T. An Artist Presale will begin on Wednesday, January 24 at noon E.T. with the password: RevolutionInMotion. Visit www.discobiscuits.com for more information.

    Atmospher is an American hip-hop duo from Minneapolis, Minnesota, consisting of rapper Slug (Sean Daley) and DJ/producer Ant (Anthony Davis). In December 2023, Atmosphere released the Talk Talk EP, whose title track originally appeared on their latest album, So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously. The duo also made their cult, early 2000’s mixtape Sad Clown Bad Dub 2 available for the first time ever.

    For over two decades, Atmosphere has maintained a course of rigorous output, releasing over two dozen studio albums, EP’s and collaborative side projects in as many years. In that time, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots.

    Slug shows masterful storytelling and writes compelling narratives, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul, funk, rock, reggae, and the wizardry of hip-hop’s pioneering DJ’s and producers, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life, love, stress and setbacks. Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life.

    The Atmosphere presale will begin Wednesday, January 24 at 10AM local time with the general on sale starting Friday, January 26 at 10AM local time. Tickets and information are available on atmospheresucks.com.
