The pairing of moe. and Gov

Portland Oregon loves the Yonder Mountain String band, which was clearly evident in listening to the adoring cheers heard after each song.

The String Cheese Incident had come to Portland ME and Hampton NH(towns a little more than an hour apart) for a four consecutive night run that proved to be a northeast dream run come true.

Without a drum set or a light show, Yonder Mountain String Band never fails to entertain.

As the flooding continues across the eastern seaboard, so does the music. On Wednesday night at the Mercury Lounge in Manhattan a twin bill of bare bones rock and rollers took the stage. The Detroit Cobras with openers Reigning Sound hit the Big Apple only a few shows into their national tour. While the rains fell outside, the brew and tunes swam inside.

Keegan Ales celebrated their second year of brewing fine ale by hosting a concert with two exceptional bands, in of all places, right in the brewery. The stage was set amongst the kegs, sacks of hops and barley, and other things, but the sound was surprisingly good considering the venue was essentially warehouse space with brewing equipment.

The Brothers Past, three days into a month long tour, hit Burlington with a hard punch to the head. The show at Higher Ground was a duel headlining gig with The New Deal. Both sides of the club would take turns presenting each band back to back, and his night really exemplified why having two “clubs” in one for Higher Ground can make live music so interesting.

The stoic crowd stood transfixed as The Like’s dream pop, as they stood not knowing whether to dance, pound drinks or holler. On the other hand, the evening

Reason #1,459 why New York City is great. A Monday night benefit for the Red Cross, that manages to showcase two NYC Hardcore Metal crowd pleasers, while raising $2,000 at the same time. Yes sir, I think that is a winning combo for a Monday.

The Perishers came to New York City and played Webster Hall this past week. The band is from Sweden,

U-Melt hit the stage in front of a sadly sparse audience (Woodstock on a Thursday night is not what it used to be), but lived up to their name by liquefying those who were there with a molten hot evening of music.

New York and New Orleans share a special bond and the least the Big Apple could do was play doctor to a friend in need.

I have read reviews of critics claiming that the Stones create a rock and roll environment in which an arena feels like a club, Horseshit. They take a 75,000 seat football stadium and make it feel like 300,000 people are rocking along to “Jumping Jack Flash.”

Listening to John Hammond is like stepping into a college level course on the History of the Blues. Hammond gives you the inside skinny on the musicians who created the blues style, before showing you why the music is so special and historic. From Skip James to Jimmie Rodgers, Buddy Guy to Howlin

In a very rare U..S. club show to kick off a northeast tour featuring fellow Dead co-conspirators Bruce Hornsby and Steve Miller, Ratdog loaded their 18 wheeler full of gear into South Burlington

All the artists, their crews, Terrapin Presents, including all their staff and volunteers, and all the people from Indian Lookout Country Club brought their A-game to the Vibes this year.
