Sittin’ Down with Sully – The Movement

Thursday February 18th I had the opportunity to catch The Movement, an exciting Philadelphia based, hip-hop reggae rock band. I was quite impressed with what they brought to the table last year at Lupo’s opening for G. Love, and have been keeping up on their music and tours on-line since. They do a great job of embracing all sorts of new media including quick video blogs while on the road, to help bring their fans the experiences from wherever they may play. I arrived at Club Hell a couple of hours before their set so I’d have time to chat, and not interrupt their sound check, or any pre-show rituals they may be planning.

A Favor to Ask My Musician Friends

I’ve loved live music my whole life, and have been attending live shows as long as I can remember.  There are many clubs I used to frequent that aren’t around anymore.   Club Baby Head, The Living Room, Lupo’s (when it was an intimate experience), and of course The Station.

The Scene – A Donovan First

This past Sunday January 24th I woke early to edit and load video on-line when I noticed a tweet from @DonovanOfficial that Donovan would be doing his first ever concert stream live from Germany at 8:30pm Central European Time.  After some quick calculations I figured I had about 2 hours before the festivities began. Anyone that knows me personally knows Donovan is one of my all time favorite artists, second only to The Beatles, I jortled with joy. Touted as an evening with Donovan and Friends and that he’d be playing new songs I immediately called Mike Zarro to make sure he was aware, we spent the next hour or so discussing possibilities of the set, would the new songs be something due on the eagerly anticipated “Ritual Groove?” We discussed Don’s recent changes to his on-line presence and the likelihood that he’d finally hired some younger cats to bring him forward virtually into the new decade. No offense to Stewart Lawrence he makes a great road manager, bongo/conga player and brother-in-law to Donovan but his website was lacking until recently.
