CashorTrade in Seven Days

Published: May 11, 2017

Burlington, VT is one of the best places to live if you believe in supporting local businesses. That's why we love it here, just a lot of people helping each other grow. Following the trend, Seven Days, a local newspaper, was kind enough to publish an article about us. Brando and Dusty recently sat down for an interview with Dan Bolles. "Equal parts eBay, Craigslist and Phantasy Tour, the website does a brisk business by merging the enthusiasm and connectedness of fan communities - in particular, the jam scene - with a promise from all parties to abide by the Golden Rule. Following several years of consistent growth, culminating in 41,000...

Article and Pictures By Martin Kelley The Talking Heads formed in 1975. Dubbed as "new wave" with other artists growing out of the New York City punk scene, they developed a unique sound with elements of punk, pop, funk, and world music. Even though the Talking Heads broke up 1991, save for a one-off reunion in 2002, where they played a few songs at their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, their music has become a perennial favorite for multiple generations of listeners. They have managed to capture some deep elements of humanity in their music, while keeping a carefree and clean aesthetic about it. For fans of the Talking Heads,...

CashorTrade on Jambase

Published: May 11, 2017

CashorTrade wouldn't exist without the amazing community that stands behind it. As always, we thank each and every one of our users for their continued support. In this post we would like to specifically thank Andy Smith from Phansite.com, one of our partners. Recently Brando interviewed with Andy for CashorTrade themed article to be published on Jambase.

And last year, the site facilitated over 100,000 ticket exchange transactions. This new pinnacle gave the...

Disc Jam: A Festival For Everyone

Published: April 12, 2017

It's quite the time to be alive for festival goers! There are countless numbers of events happening all year round all over the world. It can become overwhelming to pick and choose which shows to attend and which ones to save for next year. If you ask us which shows not to miss, Disc Jam Music Festival is at the top of our list. Disc Jam began in 2011 when creator, Tony Scavone, realized that there was an overlap between two of his passions, live music and disc golf. He found that both of these communities are made up of positive and supportive members who "welcome one another to become something special when joined together." It became a...

We've definitely said this before, but we'll say it again. Here in Burlington, VT we're all about supporting local. Kevin Statesir, the man behind Higher Ground all these years, couldn't agree more. After giving up his ownership of one of the biggest music venues in the Burlington area, Statesir started StatesirReal Projects with Tim Cece to help out local bands that are just getting started. Their latest endeavor is called "Burlington Showcase," a night dedicated to promoting local bands. Statesir was kind enough to answer some questions for us on that matter. Tell us a bit about this exciting new event, and the bands listed. "After leaving...

Article and pictures by Martin Kelley. March definitely brought the madness to the music scene up in Vermont. There has been no shortage of amazing gigs. With locally and nationally known musicians sharing the stages, the fans have been kept entertained, and on the move. I was lucky enough to be in attendance to Freeze A Peach: A Vermont Tribute To The Allman Brothers Band at the Rusty Nail in Stowe, VT on Marck 10. These boys played a masterful set of Allman Brothers Band tunes. Staying within the prime years of 1969 to 1973, they played a selection of well known songs like "Blue Sky," "Midnight Rider," and "Sweet Melissa." Also going into...

Aritcle written by Sam Berenson and videos by Rob Perissi. To see Trey Anastasio play a solo/acoustic show, in the town that I was born, attended high school, and have ever-lasting memories, last night could not have played out any better. For those who walked up to the Academy of Music at 6:30 on the dot for doors, there was already a line snaked around the building with eager fans awaiting entrance and access to purchase the beautiful Nate Duval poster, that was specific for the Northampton show this run. With a line forming all the way up the stairs to the balcony, awaiting their turn at the merch table, I'd say the first 200 fans got the...

Article written by Martin Kelley. Fans of the Seth Yacovone Band have been well catered to this month. With a show every weekend in March, they have kept the house rocking wherever they go. With extensive catalogue of original tunes, Seth really knows how to build a smoking hot setlist. They kicked off this run at The Rusty Nail in Stowe on the 3rd of March with a marathon one set show.

iTour is the App for That

Published: February 23, 2017

It seems more often than not when you find yourself thinking "There should be an app for that," there already is. There's a lot of planning involved around following your favorite band on tour. If you're a seasoned concert goer, you know the struggle already. Finding a place to stay, deciding what gear you'll need to bring, figuring out what else the area has to offer, are all things fans deal with all the time. You may find yourself asking why there isn't an app that does it all, when in fact, such an app does indeed exist. I'm talking about the iTour apps. They are band specific apps that take the tour dates of your favorite band and...
