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?

ShellBee at Hemlock Ledge 5-24-14

Change of venue to The Hemlock Ledge here in Chestertown, NY for last night's 5-24-14 live performance by the duo band ShellBee, bass guitarist & vocalist Michelle Howland (aka Bass Diva) and acoustic guitarist, loop pedal expert & vocalist Brian Conway from 9:30p to close. 

I love the Ledge's dark oatmeal stout ale, something my regular venue lacks. As a venue, it has a large bar area and an equal sized dining room where delicious food and specials are served every day from 4:30p onward. The Hemlock Ledge has a very Adirondack feel to its decoration and design, a casual family atmosphere that is warm, welcoming and comfortable. Occasional live events are held on Saturday nights, this was my first time seeing a band or filming there.

I hadn't seen Michelle perform in about a year, other than a few jams with other local bands here and there, so when I saw her Facebook announcement I decided to go check out this show. The duo have been performing locally for a year now, and I'm excited that I finally got to see them, and am looking forward to filming them again this year at summer festivals. 

Brian plays his acoustic guitar like I have never seen done, kind of like classical guitar and piano applied to the strings, plus accompanies himself on a loop pedal which adds amazing depth to their sound. It's hard to remember this is a duo with no drums. 

Michelle is one of, maybe even THE best, bass guitarists in the region. Add her passionate, sultry vocal talents and she's a force to be reckoned with. Beautiful and a little bit shy (except while performing), she's very friendly and writes her own music and lyrics (which I didn't get to hear last night). As a team, Brian and Michelle also create their own originals that I hope to get on film later this summer.

Featured in the video below, Michelle Howland really slaps the bass on this one, what an excellent cover with Brian Conway's fingers dancing all over his acoustic guitar & their harmonies hauntingly matched :)

Who's Your Paddy P-House 8-30-13

On Friday Aug. 30, 2013, Who's Your Paddy performed live Irish & American folk music classics & covers by more modern bands like Green Day, at the Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY from 8p-12a. Made up of 3 men playing guitar/vocals (Steve Gray), a Bodrhan and a keyboard/fiddle/backup vocals, to a mixed crowd of 20 somethings and 60+ somethings, it was my 1st time seeing their show.

The band does not have a dedicated website, or images, so I regret not bringing my big camera to get a few professional shots of the guys. Instead I found some of these funny images representing the fun this group incites with their music, & it made me want to drink green beer & dance an Irish jig!

Frank Palangi Solo Acoustic Live at P-House 10-5-2012

Performing live at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown NY in a solo acoustic show, to a packed house. Frank Palangi invited audience participation & chorus sing-alongs that were out of the ordinary for the P-House and wicked fun to be part of. Playing modern rock music covers and a few of his own originals, I'd say he was a hit. However, to really get a taste of his true talent, check out all of his ORIGINAL reverbnation music with a full band backing at http://www.reverbnation.com/frankpalangi

Sounding much like Alice in Chains, Godsmack, Pearl Jam and with his deep crooning vocals very much like Eddie Vedder on many of his songs, the difference between his live acoustic and original full band electric guitar music is striking. I've been listening to his 1st CD for 2 days non-stop, addicting riffs and rhythm, his voice and songwriting skills are unforgettable. Frank Palangi has two CDs out and is already hard at work on a third of which he already has a number quickly reaching hit single status, titled I am Ready. Check out all his music online embedded below:
