Nectar’s presents LaMP — the project featuring Trey Anastasio Band/Soule Monde band mates, keyboardist Ray Paczkowski and drummer Russ Lawton, and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead guitarist Scott Metzger. In case it’s not obvious, the band takes its name from the first letters of each members’ surname.

The trio debuted at a show in December 2018 at Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont. They then reconvened last summer and held recording sessions with Roger Stauss at Sugarhouse Soundworks in Burlington.

“With Russ and Ray being so much of a team as they are they’ve done who knows how many gigs together? It’s been a good challenge to join them to try and add something to their Vulcan mind-meld level of music-making while adding something to the foundation they’ve built,” Metzger said. “I’m in Brooklyn, and Russ and Ray are up in Vermont. We wrote everything via the internet. We figured out telecommuting and working from home before it was fashionable. We’d usually start with Russ sending around a drumbeat he was working on, then Ray and I would put down ideas and we’d send them back and forth, editing everything as we went along. When we finally found some time to record, I drove up to Vermont, we took a day to flush everything out and rehearse, then spent two days recording.”

ANDI
with Rachel Grae and Lisa Heller
Carrington Zane Sklar

A performer since birth, there has never been a question of which path Andi would find herself on. Taking vocal lessons at age six and finding a passion for songwriting in the form of theater camp classes at night, Andi has been honing her skills for as long as she can remember.  Putting these building blocks to use seriously at 11 when she really began to write songs and craft the inklings of what would develop into a more defined sound and aesthetic, Andi learned deeply through play as she’d make parodies of her favorite songs.

These steps led her to moving across the country from her home in New Jersey to LA at 16, and now, at 19, she’s begun to carve out a lane for herself with a string of anthemic pop smashes across the last year.

Channeling influences from Avril Lavigne to Sam Smith, Andi gets closer to full realization with every song, her personality on special display across recent releases “Get Your Attention” and “Wish We Were Strangers.” Keeping herself open as she connects with her growing audience via TikTok lives and Zoom meet-n-greets, Andi’s world becomes evermore defined as one of flowing blonde hair and stunning vocal performances that only pull in listeners as they get to know her.

Andi never shies away from displaying her genuine self, pulling inspiration for her songs directly from her own life experiences and displaying them against driving sonics in an attempt to help people come to terms with their own stories by seeing how unapologetically she shares her own.

One Time Weekend/Kendall Street Company

“We Groove – You Move” is the mantra of One Time Weekend – the innovative shred-funk Connecticut quartet bringing driving grooves with a melodic and progressive edge to the universe. One Time Weekend is known for their live shows – delivering a high-energy musical experience at every performance as twin lead guitarists, Adam Eytan and Zac Mulcahy shred over bassist and lead vocalist Ian D’Arcangelo’s funky bass lines and dynamic vocals while Ben “Beano” Sullivan mans the pocket holding it all down with his rhythmic energy – all of which
keeps OTW Nation grooving and moving.

Virginia’s Kendall Street Company are no strangers to having a wild time. The genre-fluid, eclectic rock ensemble has drawn varied comparisons to the dynamic jams of Umphrey’s McGee and Widespread Panic, songwriting prowess of John Prine, experimental psychedelia of Pink Floyd, progressive jazz-infused rock of Frank Zappa, and off-color humor of Ween and They Might Be Giants. Including elements of crowd participation, off-the-cuff comedic bits, haphazard choreography, musical improvisation, and surprise musical guests, each Kendall
Street Company concert is an experience unlike any other. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. Just remember to stay hydrated.

Lifespeed – Rocking with Sean again!

In 2021, Lifespeed was at the top of their game in the New Jersey music scene – having one of the most successful runs in their 20 year history.

Unfortunately, in October of that year their frontman, Sean Patrick, was hit with the devastating news that, due to a chronic illness, his liver was failing and would need an organ transplant. While undergoing exams for this procedure, doctors had even worse news. They found Cholangiocarcinoma, intrahepatic bile duct cancer.

Sean Patrick decided, with full support from his brothers in Lifespeed, that he would be stepping away from music to focus on fighting these new battles. In turn, with full support from Sean, Lifespeed recruited scene veteran Dan Buchanan of Dark City Saints to hold Sean’s place on stage until he was ready to return.

Thursday, April 20th, 2023 – 18 months later – Sean Patrick will take back his spot on stage with Lifespeed at The Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ. The night will include opening act: No Standards and an after-show set with DJ Bryan Lubliner. As well, there will be representatives from The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation and Donate Life America attending with information and resources.

We at Lifespeed, along with 107 Productions, want to thank all of the musicians and the entire music industry that we work with on a daily basis, for their absolute support throughout this journey. We specifically chose a Thursday night so our friends and family … including those industry men and women have an “off-night” opportunity to join us in this special evening. We hope many of you will be able to make it.

The Fleshtones

Since their inception in 1976 in Queens, New York, and their sweaty, boozy gestation at legendary venues such as CBGB, Max’s Kansas City, and the storied Club 57— recently feted at the Museum of Modern Art, where their proto-video underground film“Soul City” was unspooled for art stars, glitterati, and a raft of punk rockers who managed to get past the front gate — they have perpetrated their proprietary brand of SUPER ROCK, a frenetic amalgam of garage punk and soul, punctuated by the big beat and unleashed with the spectacular show business majesty which has kept them on the road for over forty years, adored by audiences whose love for them borders on religious fervor.

MEG MYERS: TZIA’S ARC TOUR
Weathers
Band of Silver

21+ admitted

Meg Myers chooses to live. Now, this choice has required time and transformation as well as unshackling herself from the expectations of a society too narcissistic to give a shit, trusting her gut independent of external opinions, listening to her intuition, and writing the kind of music she always wanted to. As such, her third full-length album, TZIA [Sumerian Records], soundtracks a moment of awakening emotionally, sexually, and spiritually in bursts of raw power, electronic fits, alternative experimentation, and jarring pop.

Meg has dedicated the better part of the last decade to breaking free. She has piled up hundreds of millions of streams across albums such as Sorry [2015] and Take Me To The Disco [2018] highlighted by the likes of “Desire,” “Sorry,” “Numb,” and “Make A Shadow.” Along the way, she has canvased the country alongside the Pixies, Alt-J, My Chemical Romance, Royal Blood, Smashing Pumpkins, and Jane’s Addiction in addition to igniting Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! and gracing the bills of Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball.

Pre-Stranger Things, she breathed fire into Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” with a stunning rendition initially introduced on NPR Tiny Desk. The cover made history by capturing No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Chart 42 weeks after its release. She’s also earned the praise of Billboard, Cosmopolitan, GRAMMY.com, Nylon, Rolling Stone, and more. Beginning in 2019, she crafted the bulk of what would become TZIA at home in Los Angeles with just a piano, guitar, and ukulele before rounding out the process with collaborators such as Andy D. Park, Thomas Powers, and Mike Elizondo. Now, she kicks off this era with “ME” and more to come

WILLIE NILE 75 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

40 VIP TABLE SEATS-$75-Includes a Pre-Show Birthday Meet/Greet with Birthday Cake and Party Favors – 6:30pm!

The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash.” His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011”. His single from that album, “One Guitar,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today.

Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Jim Jarmusch, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises.

His album, American Ride, won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards and it appeared on dozens of year-end Top Ten lists for 2013. Bono called it, “One of the great guides to unraveling the mystery that is the troubled beauty of America.”

In November 2014 he released a new album of piano-based songs, If I Was A River, to great critical acclaim. “One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past thirty years” said The New Yorker.

MOJO wrote about his 2016 album World War Willie, “Four Stars! The real thing…stomp-‘til-ready rock’n’roll…timeless fare.” It made numerous top ten lists for album of the year.

His album Positively Bob: Willie Nile Sings Bob Dylan from 2017 was hailed as “one of the best Dylan tribute albums ever made. And the Associated Press said his 2018 album Children Of Paradise “Might be the best album of his career!”

Willie has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews, with Downbeat calling it a “sonic love letter to Gotham.”

His newest studio album The Day The Earth Stood Still, which features a duet with Steve Earle on the song “Blood On Your Hands” was released in 2021.

ACCOLADES
“The unofficial poet laureate of New York City.” – Uncut
“Better than what most performers have to offer by far.” — Rolling Stone
“Crossing the power of the Clash with the social consciousness of Woody Guthrie…he’s stronger than ever!” – The Morton Report
“Willie Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this world, I’d be opening up for him instead of him for me.” Lucinda Williams
“A man who embodies the true spirit of rock n’ roll.” – London Times
“RIVETING!…Springsteen, Mellencamp, Van Morrison…Willie Nile has earned his standing in that esteemed company! – Blurt

North to Shore Presents Sensational Soul Cruisers

The Sensational Soul Cruisers are not just another 11-man vocal harmony group with horns. While it is still sometimes possible to find a band featuring a similar line up of instruments, it is unlikely that you will ever find another that performs with as much energy, passion, and talent as these guys. From their humble beginnings rehearsing at the chicken coops on Route 33 to the basement of the Cycle Shop on Throckmorton Street, this band has come a long way from its “Eddie and the Cruisers” days to become one of Jersey’s best kept secrets.

Under the tutelage of legendary Jersey Shore sax player Screamin’ Steve Barlotta, who has been the captain of this fantastic soul cruise for over 20 years, has catapulted this band from the recesses of a dingy basement to over 200 performances a year while capturing the true essence of the Jersey Shore sound and its true R&B roots. Fortunately for those of us that feel that the sound of classic Philly Soul, Motown, Disco, Stax, and the music of The Temptations, Four Tops, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, The Trammps and other such groups was and still is some of the best music ever recorded or played live, there will be plenty of chances to see the Sensational Soul Cruisers perform this year and for many years to come. While the band travels to and plays concerts in theaters, clubs, public festivals, and private events throughout the country, they will be spending quite a bit of time in the northeast but especially in the New York / New Jersey / Pennsylvania area this year. This is in no small part due to the bands strong ties to its roots in Freehold Borough in the beautiful Garden State.

Over the past 25 years the Soul Cruisers have been fortunate enough to grace the stage with many great artist from Bruce Springsteen, Little Anthony and The Imperials, Gloria Gaynor, Gary US Bonds, John Cafferty, Southside Johnny, The Emotions, Bon Jovi, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder. As well as being the long time favorite house band at New York City’s famed Copacabana.
