LOCAL MUSIC ALERT!!!!! Benefit Concert for Haiti 5/15

The St. John's Youth Group has put together a concert to help send shelter boxes down to Haiti. Bands from Regional 7 include the Civics Project, JRE, and The Breakdown. The other artists are Luke Alibozek, Half Ecstatic, and String Theorie. Most of these bands can be found on Facebook or Myspace if you wish to hear them. There will also be many vendors with shirts, food, and other merchandise. Tickets are $10 if bought ahead of time at the school and $12 at the event. This all will be going down at the Pine Meadow Green at 3pm Saturday, May 15th.

This is a must see show if you live in or around New Hartford. Not only will you get to see what music is coming out of the high school now, you get to hear our very good friend Luke Alibozek (MySpace). I've been wanting to do a huge write up about Luke...just hasn't happened yet, I still plan on it once he gets his butt in gear ;). It is a real treat being able to see a friend that you grew up with performing his own music in front of crowds. He also has a great cover catalog of classic oldie and more alternative tunes. This, plus all the money going to benefit Haiti, do yourself a favor and get to this concert. Facebook Event

DMB Grammy Performance & Haiti Relief Project

The Dave Matthews Band will be performing at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards this Sunday night. The band is nominated for two awards: Album Of The Year, and Best Rock Album. They will be competing against the likes of Beyonce, Lady GaGa, Black Eyed Peas, and Taylor Swift. Good luck boys! As nominees, they will be performing their 3rd single from 'Big Whiskey and The GrooGrux King' 'You and Me'. By the snap shot of rehearsals, it looks like they will be performing the song much like the way they made the music video (see video at bottom). Be sure to tune in Sunday night at 8!
