Phish | Saratoga Springs, NY | 6/20/10 | Photos & Videos

The Grateful Web was on-hand at this weekend’s Phish shows up in Saratoga Springs, New York, taking pictures, videos, etc.  Last night’s show was a big hitter, smoking Saturday night’s show.  During ‘Brother,’ the Phish kiddos came on stage and jumped into a bathtub just in front of Trey and Page, becoming something of a… Continue reading Phish | Saratoga Springs, NY | 6/20/10 | Photos & Videos

Phish sails tight ship on Portsmouth's Waterfront

What do you get out of attending a Phish show? What do you get out of attending MANY Phish shows? Why do you see live music performed at all? Surely you’ve fielded this question before; I know I have. A relative looks at you quizzically, or maybe it’s a co-worker… “You’re going out of town… Continue reading Phish sails tight ship on Portsmouth's Waterfront

30db | Fox Theatre | Boulder, CO | 5/19/2010 | Review

As I was walking on the hill in Boulder to get some Chinese food and a beer before the show, I passed by a very animated and excited Jeff Austin (mandolin player from Yonder Mountain String Band) talking to a friend. It was interesting because he was putting the same energy into the conversation that… Continue reading 30db | Fox Theatre | Boulder, CO | 5/19/2010 | Review

meniskus | Live At The Walnut Room | 2010

The unique sound of meniskus is hard to classify. They have been labeled as Latin, European, House, Trance Rock, but none of these really pinpoint what their music sounds like. At times you can hear a mystic Middle Eastern influence, at other times hints of Ukrainian Punk and ancient ancestral harmonies. The only way to… Continue reading meniskus | Live At The Walnut Room | 2010

Toots & the Maytals | Fox Theatre | 5/9/2010

It was a nice Mother’s day in Boulder, CO, and is there a better way to spend the evening than with the Toots & the Maytals at the Fox Theatre? There seemed to be a good Rasta vibe permeating through the Fox tonight. The bartenders were all smiles as usual, including long time bar tender… Continue reading Toots & the Maytals | Fox Theatre | 5/9/2010

Standing by for Ignition, with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

I began my commercial broadcast radio career starting back in the early 90s, in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Working for that region’s heritage rock station was quite an introduction to the civilian world, as I had only recently finished my enlistment in the U.S. Navy. I came from uniforms, and tradition, to working with a morning… Continue reading Standing by for Ignition, with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

A BackYard Barbeque with Keller Williams

Richmond, Virginia is one of those southern cities where one can ‘feel’ the history.. It’s everywhere you look.. There is Monument Avenue, with statues of the heroes — from a Civil War that is still described by some old timers, as ‘the recent unpleasantness.’ There is the statue to the great African-American tap-dancer and performer… Continue reading A BackYard Barbeque with Keller Williams
