THE QUINS – SOUNDCHECK STUDIOS

May 8, 2021Posted inConcerts, Miscellaneous, Photo Gallery, Photography, RockNo Comments

          The Quins braved the ice cold temperatures and brought some heat to a sold out Soundcheck Studios. By the time the night kicked off, it was already down to 30 degrees with strong winds. The crowd all sat at their tables (due to Covid restrictions) bundled up in layers and blankets. It took place on Friday, April 2, 2021. This was the Quins first show of the year at Soundcheck, and it was great to see them back in action. They followed up with a second show at Soundcheck on Saturday, April 17, 2021.

          Phish performed at the Dunkin Donuts Center on Saturday, November 30, 2019. This was the second of two nights at the Dunk to kick off the Phish Fall 2019 Tour. The night consisted of two different sets, as well as an epic four song encore. As I walked towards the pit, i couldn’t help but notice the sea of people already in the arena. Many were sitting (or even sprawled out) on the ground. Most were simply trying to conserve as much energy as possible for the long night of dancing that was to follow.

El Dub Music – Interview

          I had the amazing opportunity to interview El Dub (Lee Walsh) looping artist, and one man band. We talked about his latest album, as well as life during a Nationwide Pandemic due to the Covid-19 Virus. El Dub, whom has kept a very heavy touring schedule for years, has long been blessing the world with his amazing music. Music that is filled with messages of peace, love, positivity, healing and family. If you have never heard of El Dub, I highly suggest you get yourself familiar. However, the real magic, is to catch him live and watch the master at work. He’s known to change his music style to best fit the crowd he is playing for, making him an extremely versatile artist as well. For now, you can catch him on his weekly stream via his Facebook page El Dub Music (details below). Enjoy the interview!
