Hello W+TWP peeps. Got a special July 4th edition for you beat-loving freaks. Burlington may be known for ice cream and jambands but it also has its fair share of beat purveyors that can go toe to toe with any national act.
The long running Sunday Night Mass is a weekly party held at Club Metronome – right above the infamous Nectar’s nightclub – that brings in the freshest DJ/Producer talent from around the globe as well as the locals who hold it down proper. Sunday Night Mass is promoted by Nexus Artist Management founder Justin R.E.M. and this weekend’s installment is going to be a SCORCHER. Sunday Night Mass presents La Riots. Don’t let anyone tell you B Town can’t throw down cause that bill is ridiculous.
I recently spoke with Justin about the origins of Sunday Night Mass and what the future holds for Electronic Music in Burlington…
Wyllys: How long ago did you start Sunday Night Mass?
Justin REM:We started SNM in 1999 as a weekly event that ran from 1999-2007. We relaunched the series [on a] monthly [basis] this year and it’s better than ever. We’ve brought in some big names like Don Diablo, Doc Martin, Angel Alanis and AC Slater. This Sunday’s edition of La Riots is going to be a banger.
Wyllys: You also founded Nexus Artist Management. How long ago was that and what are some of the names on your roster?
Justin REM: I founded the company in 2002 with Chris Pattison and we are going on our 9th year. We’ve managed some great acts like Bassnectar, Simply Jeff and Mephisto Odyssey. We just started booking Angel Alanis so we’re excited about that.

Friday for the Foodies is taking a long weekend for the 4th of July. I will be unplugged, at the beach and manning the grill for most of the weekend.
I thought I’d share some fun (and educational) videos that highlight foods that we all eat on the 4th of July and the best way to prepare (and eat) them.
Enjoy the videos and I hope you all have as relaxing a weekend as I plan to.

The 9th Annual Northwest String Summit (NWSS) returns to North Plains, Oregon for three days of music and camping July 16 – 18. Set at the scenic Horning’s Hideout, just 35 minutes west of Portland, the festival features some of the best and brightest acts in acoustic-jam music. Kick off your shoes, tune up your strings and get ready for the ultimate hootenanny, featuring three nights of Yonder Mountain String Band, plus sets by Rhythm Devils, moe., Danny Barnes, Darol Anger and more. Here is a glimpse of what to expect at the NWSS in order of appearance.
Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings :: Friday, July 16 :: 6:00-7:15pm
Darol Anger’s name is synonymous with contemporary fiddling. His music draws influence from the traditional improvisational forms of bluegrass and jazz, while incorporating themes of classical, folk, pop and world flavors. Anger’s current development, The Republic of Strings, acts as an inter-generational exploration of string music. Their genre melding approach is bound to sweep one away with the celestial sounds of the traditional string quartet.
