Rainbow Prom at Universal Preservation Hall. I’m a huge fan of the programing at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga. And I’m an ally of LGBTQ+ friends and family. When I saw the announcement about a Rainbow Prom scheduled for this fall, I was immediately in love with the idea. People who couldn’t celebrate prom at […]
SAG-AFTRA Strike. As almost everybody knows the writers and actors of Hollywood have gone on strike. We’ve seen the memes of greedy streaming corporations, and we’ve seen the picket lines, and most people reading this have an idea of what it’s about. People are passionate about unions, one way or the other. We don’t do […]
I’ve been seeing Kristian Montgomery posting a new song almost every week on the social media sites, and they are all pretty darn good. Hardship and survival, life and love, the visceral emotions of these experiences are heard through songs inspired by storytelling. I figured it would be good to learn more about what is […]
The love of music is universal. The joy of happening upon a killer bass riff is the joy of a flawless execution of a passage by DeBussey. They both make you feel, they both give you a rush. But this is on the musicians’ end. The music lover, the music listener, may simply be moved […]
Let’s talk egos. In promoting yourself as an artist, you have to have an ego, even if you don’t have one. You have to promote yourself as a good time. But take this to an extreme, and you’re arrogant. But if you start with the premise that you suck, you can take that three miles […]
Nate the Space God. RRX: I didn’t know that Albany Lou was your father up until it was your birthday, which was just a few days ago. Your Dad posted on social media that you (his son) was celebrating a birthday and I’m over here like oh, no way! NTSG: You didn’t know that Albany […]
GLENS FALLS – Dear reader, please allow me to set a scene for you; it’s mid to late summer in the Adirondacks, and the sun is shining bright on the east end of Hometown USA as an enthusiastic and groovy crowd converges on the courtyard lawn of The Shirt Factory, a historic collection of local […]
Rob Beaulieu. RRX: I’ve had your name on my desk for months, so I’m finally glad that we connected. RB: I appreciate it. RRX: So just for the back story, the abridged version… if you don’t mind if you can tell us a little bit about yourself, about the bands and the music? RB: I’m […]
I spent some time with The Dojo Beyond Space and Time’s proprietor Aidan Hennessey. What I found– beyond a visionary, driven young man–was really how local music and art can be a strong thread helping to bind communities. Whether through visual or performance art, comedy, or music, Aidan has applied an inexhaustible motivation to his […]
Gene Sennes. In the early 90’s my band and I found ourselves in need of a drummer. I knew several local players, but they either had steady gig and were unavailable, or just weren’t the right fit for The Decadent Royals. Fortunately, Dave Shachne and Norman Kee were familiar with the legendary Gene Sennes, a […]
