You! Yeah, you! You know who you are! And you KNOW you need some “Progressive / Ambient / Electro Rock” in your life. Sumilan can help. This brilliant quartet from Athens GA has ventured south of the border (Florida-Georgia border, that is) for several shows. And we can give you FOUR (4) four great reasons…
Who the heck is Joe Marcinek, and why is he playing at the Dunedin Brewery Thursday night (October 8th)? Inquiring minds wanted to know. Specifically, mine. So I got educated. Did I ever! Turns out, Joe Marcinek is a magnet. He attracts incredible musicians from across the country to play with him. His website notes:…
For whatever reason, I have never made it to the Dunedin Oktobeerfest before this year. The Dunedin Brewery always goes all out for this event, but 2015 has already been legendary. It began on Thursday night with the long but not unpleasant wait in line for my first-ever liter stein (which entitles you to discount…
Let’s see how good you are with math! Ready? Go: What does Music + Beer + the Dunedin Brewery + October equal? Why, Oktoberfest, of course, the fabulous four-day event (Oct. 1-4) celebrating fall (well, the Florida version of it, anyway), amazing music, and spectacular beer, all at the amazing Dunedin Brewery. And the 2015…
Seriously, I was not going to post about the performance of Naughty Professor last night at the Dunedin Brewery. MusicFestNews had recently posted a review from Virginia Beach (read it here) and an On the Rise feature in May (read it here). But last night was so over-the-top astounding that I have no choice. Really….
I was looking back at some of my writing about music. I’ve been scribbling for a long time, but I didn’t really start posting show reviews on e-mail and Facebook until May of 2013, and things were percolating when my son gave me a blog for my birthday (May 2014). And that explosion paled compared…
The Dunedin Brewery is a fabulous place for a variety of reasons. Their food is very good, and their beer is outrageous. But it is the music that keeps bringing me back. They have music almost every night, from popular national acts to unknown locals… and everything in between. I have “discovered” so many great…
Chief Meters-ologist Kenny Blair of Accujammer Radar is predicting that three — count ‘em, three — hurricanes are heading down the Eastern seaboard from North Carolina, all three set to converge on the Great Outdoors Jam Independence Day weekend at the Maddox Ranch in Lakeland FL. Strangely, he doesn’t seem a bit worried. According to…
I went on a Facebook rant last night about sound, bad, miserable, unprofessional sound. I am going to paint the whole picture, on the off-chance that it might actually make a difference at some venue, for some band, on some night. Mixing sound for live music cannot be easy. I did it once and got…
In my recent review of the Bobby Lee Rodgers Trio, I said people might start accusing me of cutting and pasting. I’ll call myself out. That’s the only way I could compile this: from old reviews. This is too late for Thursday, but here is a look at most of the participants at the Dunedin…
