Joe Driscoll smiled widely from the podium on the stage of The Palace Theatre on James Street during Friday night’s Syracuse Area Music Awards show. He gripped his shiny black Sammys trophy for best Jam Band recording with Sekou Kouyate and told the capacity crowd of 600 or so how he always laid claim to…
The wind chill was way into double-digit-negatives and the murky white banks flanking Syracuse’s James Street were way over your waist as the music fans some 150 strong braved their way into the Palace Theatre. Promoter and host Tom Honan had the right words to set the mood. “We were going to do it outside,”…
Eli Cook will point his vehicle north come two weekends from now and be excited about meeting new people. The solo trip from Virginia to Syracuse won’t be so bad when there’s a guitar in the back, songs in your heart and the tradition of a style of music to modernize and keep alive. And…
Joe Whiting stood at the podium in front of the asssembled and interested folk in the Palace Theatre on Syracuse’s James Street this morning, a quite capable and appropriate choice to fill them in on the 2015 Hall of Fame class and list of nominees for the Sammys ceremonies that will take place March 5…
The Syracuse Area Music Awards will present its Hall of Fame inductions on March 5 at Upstairs at the Dinosaur and annual awards ceremony March 6 at the Palace Theatre on James Street. Performers for the ceremony will include Joanne Shenandoah, who’s a member of the Sammys Hall of Fame and a Grammy Award winner;…
Of course I walked into the Palace Theatre last night wanting to like the movie ‘Adult World.’ Director Scott Coffey took writer Andy Cochran’s poet-graduates-college-and-then-gets-an-education story and set it in Syracuse. There was a fair amount of huzzah around these city streets while the Hollywood production was being shot here in 22 days in February…
Over 20 years, I’ve admired Edgar Pagan the man and Edgar Pagan the music maker. The Syracuse band leader of Grupo Pagan is once again bringing both sides of his generous personality together to present “Bringing the World Together in Syracuse 2014.” The show starts at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at The Palace Theater…
Isn’t it quite a good thing when a community comes together in spirit? The Syracuse men’s basketball team is 22-0, and the unanimous Associated Press poll choice as the No. 1 college team in the nation. The Central New York community is rallying around this squad. And it has been one huge wave of support.…
All it took was the voice and keyboard work of Ronnie Leigh to get me excited about the Syracuse Area Music Awards all over again. In Syracuse, jazz singer Leigh has been The Voice for many decades before NBC started a singing competition named “The Voice.” To start the festivities to announce what’s-what for this…
Sometimes when the thermometer is struggling to reach 0, the wind won’t stay below 20 and the ice seems to make every path in front of you glisten with menace, you wonder. Why, exactly, do I live here? My latest winter pass by my local Syracuse city neighborhood theater gave me a marquee reminder. We…
