For you Syracuse folks this looks like a lovely night indeed — for those who have not yet been to the Red House Arts Center, it is a wonderfully intimate venue with a gallery, bar and small theatre. And those of you who caught MV Carbon play in Ithaca earlier this year know that she […]

…. Or will you be buying it at 1,000% increase here or here? No judging, I couldn’t go, so I missed out on all the crate digging fun. But I’d be curious to know: did you score any gems? Let me know in the comments! For those who haven’t heard, this is what I’m talking […]

[Photo by Meredith Towsand] Hopefully you made it out this weekend to the annual Porchfest, an outdoor music festival held in the downtown Fallcreek neighborhood. I went for the first time this year and was totally blown away by the energy in the air, fleets of cyclists, and mostly good, local acoustic music. Highly recommended! […]

This Thursday, Sept. 10 will kick off Popcorn Youth’s fall programming.

That’s right: five wonderfully varied acts held in the […]

Hello everyone! I’m happy to announce a show that’s slightly outside of the typical Popcorn Youth programming. In my first collaboration with No Radio Productions AND Deep […]

This weekend’s show calendar includes a few out-of-town jams as there is some killer stuff going down in other parts of NYS — including the Graveyards tour making a pitstop in Albany and Halvorson & Pavone tearing it up in Syracuse, at Metropolis Underground. Both shows of which I would be at in a second […]

More good food & good tunes at the second installment of the SOUND&SEASON house shows. Space is very limited and Sasha and Jarek want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the touring bands, but they can only accommodate as many people as […]

1. It retains the nostalgic, old-timey charm of […]
