Photo-recap:My Morning Jacket, 12.28.12
Port Chester NY- – Better late than never, some problems on our side prevented these from going live at the time… My Morning Jacket did a 3 night run at The Capitol Theater before closing out 2012 at the Agganis Arena Boston. Joe Madonna was in the photo pit on night 2 to capture the action, take a look at his gallery below.

Umphrey’s McGee Fall Tour Opener @ The Capitol Theatre
PORT CHESTER, NY- Last Wednesday, road warriors Umphrey’s McGee opened their fall tour at the recently reopened and refurbished Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. The Legendary Westchester County NY venue is a short train or car ride from New York City, with unusually easy access for anybody in the northern suburbs- it couldn’t be in a better spot. Location, venue history, and one of newest and highest caliber light rigs in the land made for a highly anticipated event. Umphrey’s McGee and Jeff Waful’s lighting expertise made the small theater seem like MSG, or exactly as owner and visionary Pete Shapiro wanted it to look- “a psychedelic rock palace” (NY Times). A missing element was the typical small venue, pre-show parking…
Ben Folds 5 at The Capitol Theater
(Photos and Review by Joe Madonna) PORT CHESTER, NY -Has it really been 15 years since I last saw Ben Folds Five live on stage? I guess so. One of my favorite Alternative Indie college rock bands from the 90′s! I think I saw them at least four or five times back then. The Capitol Theater was buzzing with excitement for the band. Kate Miller Hedike warmed up the show with her opera-esque pop sound. The lights dimmed a little bit and the band walked on stage. Everybody in the band walked out with smiles on their faces waving to a loud applause from the crowd. It was great to see them back where they…
Photo Essay: Umphrey’s McGee in Louisville
Sometimes, when your friends call and say “want to go to Umphrey’s in Louisville?” you just have to say yes. I usually get three or four UM shows a year, but this has been a busy one, and I hadn’t been to church since 11/25/2011 (With Beats Antique opener – YUM.) I’d missed Detroit (had a paid gig) and Summercamp this year, then was tied up with Electric Forest and missed the Michigan show. I couldn’t wait, and the six-hour drive south was filled with familiar sounds of past shows, interspersed with the tidings of JamOn. As we’re heading into the city, I get a text from an old friend, “Are you in Louisville?” to…
Review: North Coast Music Festival 2012
Three weeks after the Windy City’s final festival hoorah and we’ve still got North Coast Music Festival on our minds. Check out Erica Treais’s review of the festival and Rad Photos awesome photo gallery below. Hundreds of young raving teens showed up at Union Park to test out their dance moves at the three-day, Labor Day weekend party. The festivals primary musical focus was electronic dance music, though there were quiet a few brass, jam and rock bands in the line-up. We all seemed to luck out with three days of sunshine and nothing more then a bit of drizzle, unlike last years weekend of downpour. Papadosio, a group that spent a hefty amount of…
Review: Catskill Chill 2012
Words:Tom Clancey Photos: Sincere Shane Weber & Nick Irving (Hancock) Camp Minglewood, N.Y. – It’s Half-way through Catskill Chill, on a cool, overcast Saturday afternoon at psychedelic summer camp – and the voice of reason is telling you to stay calm. “We’re going to have to shut this thing down,” said a peaceful man, who is “strongly urging” you NOT to go back to your tent. “We’re expecting 60 mile-per-hour winds…” And while that wild weather wreaked havoc throughout the region, it never really materialized here at this sweeping performing arts camp wrapped around a beautiful lake. Instead the sold-out crowd endured a brief one-hour rain storm, and delighted in a weekend’s worth of stellar live…
