A Big Festival Just a Ferry Ride Away

August 26th, 2011


One of the best things about summertime is music festivals. But all too often you need to board a plane or hit the road to enjoy them. Traveling can be fun, except when it isn’t. Sometimes you want all the fun without all the effort, which works out great. Because if you haven’t heard, Dave Matthews Band Caravan hits South Island Field at Governors Island today (and tonight). Saturday’s and Sunday’s shows have been postponed—ticket holders for those days can attend today instead—and new dates will be announced once they’re confirmed. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The weather for the next two days appears to be less than stellar, but today is another story. And the lineup is terrific: Dave Matthews Band (above, playing “Dancing Nancies”),  O.A.R., Citizen Cope, Soulive, Vieux Farka Touré and the Wood Brothers. You can expect more than eight hours of eclectic, nonstop music in a great setting just a ferry ride away. Really, what else are you gonna do?

Win Two Tickets to See Soulive Play DMB Caravan on 8/26

August 5th, 2011


Soulive—Alan Evans (drums), Neal Evans (Hammond B3) and Eric Krasno (guitar)—formed in the late ’90s and has been bringing its own bluesy, jammy brand of jazz, funk, classic rock and R&B to the dancing masses ever since. Krasno joined the brothers Evans for a recording session in Woodstock in 1999, which eventually became their first EP, Get Down! A host of discs followed, including last year’s Rubber Soulive, which, as you can imagine, reinterpreted the Beatles. But despite the trio’s recorded virtuosity, the best way to experience these guys is live. And guess what? On the first night (Friday, 8/26) of the DMB Caravan at South Island Field at Governors Island, the trio (above, performing at State Theatre Portland) will be playing alongside Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., Citizen Cope, Vieux Farka Touré and the Wood Brothers. And The House List is giving away two tickets. Fill out the form below, including your full name, e-mail address, which show you’re trying to win tickets to (DMB Caravan 8/26) and a brief message explaining why you’ve got a thing for music festivals. The winner will be notified next week. Good luck.
