Picture Show: The Rhythm Devils at the Ogden Theater

Picture Show: The Rhythm Devils at the Ogden Theater

Can’t wait to see these guys headline Hoxeyville in August. Keller’s Friend of the Devil was an inspired, respectful, and oh so Keller. Mickey and Bill got their groove on and made me remember the drums at Rothbury. Enjoy!

Gallery: Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa at Summer Camp 2010

I hadn’t seen ZPZ since Rothbury, and I think they’ve been taking vitamins. This show gave me goosebumps, and not just for the helicopter-ing, horns, and stage presence. These guys know how to perform and put on what I thought was a SCAMP2010 top-10.

Photos: Papadosio, live at the Loft in Lansing, Michigan

The most I had heard of Papadosio was during my sprint past the Campfire stage at last weekend’s Summer Camp Festival. I’m thrilled to have fixed that situation last night, when they came to Lansing and threw down at the Loft. After an inspiring opening set by the Macpodz, I found myself in for a [...]

Summer Camp: Keller Williams

Summer Camp: Keller Williams

Keller’s just so damn cute you want to take him home and make him a peanut butter sammich, watch cartoons and chill. Would have loved to see the new “Keller & the Keels” but alas this was a solo performance. One of the biggest issues I had with Summer Camp is that Keller supposedly “gave [...]

Summer Camp:  ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra)

Summer Camp: ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra)

With a name like Animal Liberation Orchestra you know these are some crazy cats. Zach Gill (Keyboards, Vocals) went to High School with Jack Johnson, who helped produce the band’s first album. They put on a great show at Summer Camp, and I loved the slide guitar.

Summercamp: Cirque du Womp

Summercamp: Cirque du Womp

This year was all about the WOMP and late-nights outside the Soulshine tent were filled with beautiful performances of fire-breathing, poi, and juggling. Shout-outs to my friend Majik from East Lansing, MI for putting on quite the show (the blonde with awesome dreads). Music was a womptastic mix by Seek Selekta.

The Macpodz at Summer Camp 2010

The Macpodz at Summer Camp 2010

The Macpodz are a tried and tested band from Ann Arbor Michigan that bring a lot to the table for a jam band.  And they don’t have a guitar player, either. Brennan explained in an exclusive interview with BTJ that this puts them in a great position to be able to jam with some of the [...]

STS9 Late-night set at the Barn – Summer Camp 2010

STS9 Late-night set at the Barn – Summer Camp 2010

STS9′s inclusion in Summer Camp may have been due to the fact that these old guys create soundscapes on a grand scale. Traditional late-night fare, STS9′s blend of electronica with live instruments makes them doubly enjoyable.  They rocked the house past 3AM and even did an encore. The room was a bit too full for [...]

Jake Cinninger sits in with Dumpstaphunk at Summer Camp Festival

Jake Cinninger sits in with Dumpstaphunk at Summer Camp Festival

Dumpstaphunk blew out the barn last night and by the time I could get to the stage I found Jake Cinninger from Umphrey’s sitting in and shredding.   One of the reasons to go to festivals vs. concerts is for this kind of shared moment.

Gallery: 30db at Summer Camp 2010

I have to say I’ve waited for months to see this amazing duo, and as Rach likes to call it, they’re both the “Softer Side of Sears” when it comes to having the raw emotion available to pull off a fricking mandolin / guitar combo.   Color me impressed as they came out and had [...]

Wavy Dave Burlingame on the Banjo

Cornmeal at Summer Camp 2010

Cornmeal sure was a great way to start out Summer Camp for me, can’t wait for 30db tonight at the Campfire Jam.

Disco Biscuits | Town Ballroom | 3.17.2010

Here’s a nice little St. Patty’s Day Bisco collage by our favorite photographer Tammy Wetzel. If you didn’t catch the Disco Biscuits in Buffalo this past week you have no idea what a sick show you missed! From the first note to the last they were rockin’ it. It was described as  ”A full blown dance party from [...]
