Hello everyone. I
hope you are having a splendid Sunday. I rarely have off Sunday AM but am
making the most of it. Just watched a great football match between my Tottenham
Hotspurs and Arsenal. They first played each other in 1887. And while my vegan Italian
sausages are steaming, I have some time to jot down a few thoughts on an
amazing Saturday night in the BVT. Kempepedia is proud to present Lamp, Live at
Nectar’s, Burlington, VT Dec. 1st, 2018
When this show
was announced, I knew I had to attend. It was a one time only group. It featured Russ and Ray who have a duo called Soule Monde. Just
keyboards and drums but WOW, are they freaking amazing. Russ gets all sorts of percussive sounds rolling and Ray is up on his feet, practically dancing while he plays. Check them out
I haven’t had a
chance to check them out live yet. I did see them both as one of Pappy’s bands
at his residency back in February. But the addition of guitarist extraordinaire
Scott Metzger makes it LAMP. It was SO much more crowded than I had ever seen
it. Definitely a difference from a Tuesday or Thursday night. While waiting to
get in, I overheard the people in front of me were remarking that they had been
to Vermont but never to Nectar’s. Another over heard conversation was about the
amount of people that rolled up from NYC for the show. I would fully expect a
show like this to be in Brooklyn. But its wasn’t. it was a 20 minute walk from
my crib.
Feel very blessed
to live in a city with such a vibrant live music scene. Rock and Roll!
