2 months ago I really liked how this interview on @thepokearound turned out. Got some great background history, as well as some theoretical back and forth, with @robmadore3 and @isaacmyoung of @px3px3 . Still have yet to go see this project live, but soon! #linkinbio #px3 #musicalduo #organfunk #funkduo #electronicmusic #jazz #jazztronica #musicinterview #interviewwithmusician #livemusic #musicarticle #thepokearound
11 months ago Possibly the most I’ve embellished over a band yet. But I think anybody that went to these shows this past week might agree with some of this review article. Check out thoughts and photos of a few amazing recent shows from @ghostlightband , featured on @thepokearound . Link in my bio. @columbustheatre @thewonderbarofficial @thehamiltondc #ghostlightband #thepokearound #livemusicreview #concertphotos

1 month ago A picture of @glass_pony_band ’s sweet late night #twiddle after show a few weekends ago, and a picture of the magnificent @elliottmpeck performing with @rgenauer this past Sunday. I won’t be able to see these two share the stage when Glass Pony opens up for @midnightnorth this Friday at @thehollowalbany , but if you can, you should! Because both of these bands will rock your world. #glasspony #glassponyband #midnightnorth #hollowbaralbany #albany #ny #upstateny #upstatenymusic #nysmusic #thepokearound #rockmusic #jambands #folkrock #psychedelicrock #livebands #jamflow #music #livemusic #musicphotography #livemusicphotography

3 months ago Show me your #baconface ! Here are some extra crowd shots and dancing shots from @spacebacon ’s #soldout @mercuryloungeny show back on 12/29/19. I also wrote a brief thing up on the band on @thepokearound today, check it out (link in bio). It’s part of a new #weeklyartistspotlight that I’d like to start doing—a few blurbs each week about whatever artists I’m hyped on or want to help spread the buzz about. And I’m really hyped on Space Bacon—itching to catch them again in February in VT or Hartford, or both! #spacebacon #spacebaconmusic #mercuryloungenyc #phishafterparties #biscuitsafterparty #brooklynmusic #brooklynmusicscene #nyc #nysmusic #thepokearound #livemusic
