Dave Matthews Band Caravan, Take Two
September 13th, 2011
Sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned, so you dust yourself off and get right back up again. That’s what happened when Hurricane Irene rained out the Dave Matthews Band Caravan originally planned for late August on Governors Island. But you can’t keep a good festival down, and so the Caravan is back—this time on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Randall’s Island. And while the lineup has changed, the bands are still killer. Dave Matthews Band (above, doing “Crush” in Central Park) plays a full set each night, and they’re joined by Dispatch, SOJA and TR3 (featuring Tim Reynolds) on Friday, Dispatch, Warren Haynes and Brandi Carlile on Saturday, and From Good Homes, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Josh Ritter & the Royal City Band, plus an acoustic performance by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, on Sunday. Not too shabby, right? Governors Island tickets will be valid for the corresponding date (e.g. Friday tickets valid for Friday only), and three-day passes will be valid for all three rescheduled dates. The weather looks great and as an added bonus for your patience, you can download a free split digital 7″ from the Dave Matthews Band and Dispatch here.
From Good Homes – The Wellmont Theatre – December 17, 2010
December 20th, 2010A From Good Homes Kind of Weekend
December 15th, 2010
The New Jersey roots-rockers From Good Homes—Todd Sheaffer (vocals and guitar), Brady Rymer (bass and vocals), Jamie Coan (guitar, mandolin, fiddle and vocals), Dan Myers (sax, percussion, melodica and vocals) and Patrick Fitzsimmons (drums and vocals)—have been doing things their way since the ’80s. Despite several record deals, they never rested on their laurels, instead choosing to tour extensively, bringing their mix of blues, folk and rock to the masses. After making a name for themselves at the Wetlands, From Good Homes (above, doing “I Only Want” from their first show in a decade, last year at The Wellmont Theatre) played bigger bills alongside the likes of Dave Matthews Band and Hootie and the Blowfish. However, eventually artistic differences proved to be too much and the group disbanded. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t get along. In fact, “Every once in a while when one of us would run into each other it would be like, ‘Well, we should get back together.’ But everybody was doing their own thing, and the timing just wasn’t right, for different reasons,” said Fitzsimmons. Well, now the timing is just right, and you can catch From Good Homes on Friday and Saturday at The Wellmont Theatre.
