Eastbound Jesus - 06/29/2013

The band that is rapidly emerging as the 518's breakout act

Americana / alt-Country / Roots / Newgrass Rock

One chilly evening, early in the fall of 2010, Adam Brockway, Dave Wright, Carl Anderson, Luke Anderson and Zack Infante gathered by a woodstove in a barn on the outskirts of Greenwich, NY. With a snare, a kick, and an old beat up high hat, Carl began teaching himself how to play the drums while Adam and Zack played along on guitars, Luke on banjo and Dave on bass. Vocal melodies and harmonies were flowing like the beer from their cans and within a few hours, the group had written 2 songs front to back and it was obvious, at least to the brand new quintet, that they had immediately put together a sound that was just as unique as it was traditional.

Week by week, song by song, the band quickly collaborated a full set-list of original music, recorded an album in a bedroom with two sm-58's and on Jan. 27th, 2011 released their debut album Greatest Hits Vol. 1. Eastbound Jesus continued to grow musically, as well as with members picking up Dylan Robinson on lead guitar, as Zack Infante took over on lap steel guitar. Writing music and picking up fans throughout the spring the band won the Saratoga Performing Arts Battle Of The Bands in June of 2011.

Eastbound Jesus continued to grow musically and went into the studio to record their album Holy Smokes. The album represented a year as a band and the completely unique and exciting sound the members have all worked to develop.

In April, the band released Northern Rock, which immediately gained critical acclaim from the regional music press as well as extended radio and online airplay. The boys are setting themselves up to be Upstate NY’s prime entry into the burgeoning roots revival movement.

Special Guests: CABINET

When it comes to the music of Cabinet, the essential bywords are soul, simplicity, and serious musicianship.

In concert, the combination of these qualities invariably yields an experience that is so celebratory and moving that the very word Cabinet takes on a new, vivid meaning for anyone in the audience. An inclusive and engaging energy is the uniting through-line as Cabinet weaves bluegrass, country and folk influences to powerful effect. Tight dynamics punctuate gorgeous, soaring harmonies as down-to-earth rhythm and lyrics give way to dreamy jams that are the musical equivalent of the back road scenic route.

But this impressive result is no accident. Pappy Biondo [banjo, vocals], J.P. Biondo [mandolin, vocals], Mickey Coviello [acoustic guitar, vocals], Dylan Skursky [electric bass, double bass], Todd Kopec [fiddle, vocals], and Jami Novak [drums, percussion], all love and live music. They each have a nuanced approach and posses broad talents in their own rights. But the passionate, affirming, and joyous musical world that they create together is Cabinet.
