Grizzly Band LIVE Show at P-House 1-9-15

Acoustic duo Grizzly live at Panther Mountain Inn in Chestertown, NY last night, 1-9-15, from 9p-1a. From C&W hits to southern & classic rock, their harmonies were incredible. 

[Last night at P-House, by Gina Jordan]

Unfortunately I missed all the guest players and vocalists (I was looking forward to hearing Jen Gadway harmonize with all that testosterone) when my spare batteries died, but I at least got one video with Archie Anderson on guest lead guitar in the jam video below.


Grizzly is a duo comprised of longtime friends Zachary Smith and Matthew Magee. Grizzly is based In the Lake George region of the Adirondack Mountains.

Below is MY personal fave from the videos I recorded last night, a song called Lemon Drop (I believe?) and it sounds like an original, since nothing turned up on my search for lyrics. Stunningly beautiful song, who could not fall in love with this one?

The Master Cylinders 4-12-13 at P-House

Master Cylinders performed live on 4-12-13 at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY from 9p to 1a to a packed house and a full dance floor all night long. Playing long sets of 2.5 hours, break, then finishing the last 90 minutes, this is one hard working and continuous rocking band the likes of which I've yet to see on the local circuit until now.

My Fave of the night, Led Zeppelin:

Jimmy Wilcox is the former drummer from Blue Oyster Cult and pounded the drums expertly. 

All the band members are at the top of their game, tight and extremely talented. Playing all cover songs with a wide variety of decades top hits, with no original songs as of yet, their music keeps the dance floor hot all night (as my videos will show). 

Band members are:

Jimmy Wilcox - Drums & Vocals,original member & MAIN CONTACT
Pat Cifone -Guitar,vocals, original member and very huggable
Hayden Sias - Slapping de bass, vocals, and an original member
Matt Donnelly- Keyboards & vocals

The lead guitar player, Pat Cifone, is magnificent both in guitar and vocals, he does a mean spot on Johnny Cash (which I didn't film). I truly enjoyed the bass thumping guitar solos of Hayden Sias, and his energy and playfulness throughout the night. Tickling the keys like a pro, Matt Donnelly definitely adds pizzazz with a range of sounds & effects, as well as keeping the crowd of dancers pumped up. I can't recommend this band highly enough, so if you ever get a chance to see them, don't pass it by.

Washington County Line Bluegrass LIVE Show 9-22-12

Washington County Line Bluegrass Band performed live at Carol Theater in Chestertown, NY on Sept. 22, 2012. Incredible skills mark this as one of the top bluegrass bands performing today. Since the 6-30-12 show I filmed had all of the same songs except for 4 new ones in this show, I decided to do this as one video of the entire set. See below why it had to be broken up into 4 parts. New to this performance is member Andy Bing playing a beautiful dulcimer during the newer songs, and on some of the old standards. This video also includes the band's introductions and comic banter between songs for the full first set, giving viewers the feel of being there in a front row seat. I highly recommend seeing these guys live the first chance you get, for a foot stomping, head nodding experience you won't soon forget.

Due to youtube limits I have uploaded the full 1st set in 4 parts. Instead of doing separate videos for this show, I filmed the entire set as one video. Unfortunately my 1st upload took 22 hours and was removed by youtube for being too long, so I had to re-edit this into 4 parts and start the upload over again today. 

Flipside & Wayne Stock 5 Music Festival 8-4-12

The annual free outdoor music festival Wayne Stock 5 was held Aug. 4, 2012, and while I was set to film the entire event, I ended up getting heat stroke within 45 minutes in the 90+ degree heat with equal humidity, so ended up only getting nearly the full set of the band Flipside. I filmed a total of 5 videos including 4 song videos and one 15 minute long tripod mount with 3 long songs. I was not the only one to succumb to the heat, am not sure how the many many volunteers, bands and staff lasted through the full event, and I'm very disappointed with myself for having missed the later bands, especially Cosmic Jackson who had originally gotten me involved with the WS festival filming.


The event was a great success, with a Harley Davidson motorcycle raffle and many gorgeous guitars and other donated goods auctioned off, face painting and food vendors, all to benefit the North Country Hardship Fund, plus a snow making machine blowing icy mist up on the hill to cool everyone off (though in that heat after a total drenching I was dry within seconds!), so many people working very hard to make sure a good time was had by all. 


The rain and storms forecasted turned out to be hot air, literally, though all were prepared for the worst, and cloud cover did come in about 6pm, nothing came of it, to the dismay of those hoping for a soaking to cool off. 


I want to thank Chris Schemp of Cosmic Jackson for inviting me, and apologize for not being there to film their closing performance of this event. I arrived a bit before 3pm and was gone by 4:30pm, though I fought the heat stroke for 45 minutes, I eventually was forced to leave to save my life, and it took more than 12 hours to cool my hyperthermia back within normal temps, to stop getting sick and shivering. I'm sure I'm not the only one treating a serious sunburn today either, dumb of me not to have brought sunblock. I was more worried about bug spray, and ironically was never bothered by our famous black flies. 


I also want to thank my ex-husband Stephen Cipolla who volunteered as my gofer, for I would have never been able to drive myself home and was grateful he'd driven us to the show. We cooled off a bit at Panther Mountain Inn on the way home, where I bought us both dinner to go for later (I was way too ill to eat then, or to cook later), and then I was down for the count.  


I had planned to attempt live streaming of the event via youtube and a google hangout, but one thing I completely forgot, there was no internet other than a very limited wifi that did not reach the stage area where I needed to be to capture it via webcam on my laptop. So that was a brain fart, not sure how to meet that challenge next year, which I hope to attend and that nature will have mercy on us heat-wise (as this was an unusual weather situation for our area). To all those who made it through the event, and who donated time, goods, labor and more, I offer a million kudos and thanks.
