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...

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...

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...

Pink Talking Fish Burns Down the House

Published: January 30, 2017

Last Saturday night Pink Talking Fish took over the Rusty Nail in Stowe, VT and they did not disappoint. PTF is a hybird tribute band covering Phish, Pink Floyd and Talking Heads.
