The Boot and Saddle has risen form the dead as a bar, restaurant and music venue. The Boot and Saddle has a long and interesting history on south Broad and seen the up and downs of the urban life cycle. It was our only country and western bar for years. It hosted mostly local talent and was a watering hole for the Navy when the Yard was a large active Naval Base. The bar was owned by Pete DelBorrello a respected business owner of the bar and other establishments in this neighborhood. With the closing, it sat vacant for 15 plus years before being reopened by the folks who own Union Transfer.
A friend and I ventured to the Boot and Saddle on Saturday to check out the venue and see a band we have been following, Vulcans. I always loved the sign and understand it will ll be restored. If you like old neon signs you'll love this piece of Philly lure. The new owners , I believe, kept the stuff that made the place unique; tin ceilings and walls, cowboy murals, interesting wood floors, concert venue, and a friendly atmosphere. A friendly bar tender, waitress and bar manager met us and gave us top notch service for our drinks and food. The menu is eclectic with an unusual combination of entries, appetizers and side dishes all that seem to work, We both had turkey burgers with sweet potato fries, very good. . R5 Production and The Bowerly Presents will drive the entertainment side of the business and with that talent and experience we can expect to see a steady stream of top notch live music.
The opening act was a group of three women named Ladybird. I did not get their names and have been unsuccessful in location them with my wanting internet search skills. That is a shame for I thought they were really very good. If you saw th...

... This is a standing room venue so getting folks up dancing, stomping and the like is natural. The Vulcans had us going with “Ready Get Running, “ and got the fire burning with “Auburn Girl.”
Something that has not changed is how they end the concert. They get all the acts up on stage,enlist the crowd to break into an enthusiastic rendition of “ This Land Is Your Land.” What a way to end a concert! I hope they do not change it because it gets everyone, to have sense of joy that only great songs can elicit.
The Boot and Saddle hits the mark on everything that is important to me;.really friendly staff, unusual but good food, a eclectic beer selection, just the best acoustics, good acts, and low price all wrapped together. I even found a free parking space within 50 ft of the door. I'll keep my eye on upcoming concerts and if in the area stop in for a bite.
The nightclub, is an aged small wood structure in Rhode Island. The club is reported to have a capacity of 182 people. On February 20th 2003, more then 400 fans packed into the small club to see a band. Although there are discrepancies between reports of how many people were in attendance, it is obvious that the number is well over twice the club's capacity.
...ts which explains the name. The band plays outside and even if you do not go in the club, you can enjoy the music walking down the street. Other clubs on the street include Filthy McNastys, Cadillac Bar and Grill, the Longhorn, and Rodeo Exchange.
Prior to the concert I had been somewhat familiar with all three bands' music. I

Like stated before, the older version had older songs that are not as popular as they are now.
Special props go out to Giddle Partridge, host for the night and a fascinating overall performer. This self imposed “Queen of Hollywood” is allegedly related to Grand 'Ole Opry Star Hank Snow as well as the 22nd Vice President of The United States of America, Levi P. Morton. Which is probably why she totally rocked and rolled all over, kicking out a tasty set for Roxy patrons including her newest single Gringo Like me and of course my favorite, Bubble Gum New forever. Check her out if you get a chance, she’s wild. Show opener Gary Myrick & the Figures also slammed their opening slot home with favorites like "She Talks in Stereo." Living in a Movie and the EP Language, featuring the percussive single "Guitar, Talk, Love & Drums." Myrick is one of the nations top unsung guitarists, replacing Stevie Ray Vaughn in Austin, Texas band Kracker jack back in the day.
I counted nineteen total performers with occasionally two others and a vocalist. Each performer was dressed in black pants and a black shirt except one who showed up late. He was wearing blue jeans and a sports coat and he definitely stood out from all the others. The performers related very well with the audience. Each acknowledged the audience after applauses and there was a narrator between pieces. There was a lot of humor among the performers and they seemed ...
As the song progressed it reminded me of something that you would hear in a movie soundtrack. “New Point of View” was like “Down South” to me, they both had a classic jazz sound to them. This song ended the concert, and with that came an exceptional ending drum solo by Davis. I was amazed by how well he was able to keep the beat throughout his
The event I attended was “An Evening of Jazz” concert held at the Fine Arts Hall on November 17 at 7:30 p.m. The performing groups were The Santa Fe Rhythm and Blues Review, The Santa Fe Jazz Combo, and Santa Fe Big Band. The event was to for me to understand, experience Jazz music and know the instruments used.
The Pittsburg State University Jazz Band has come along since the rehearsal I attended a few prior to the concert. At the rehearsal the band lacked togetherness and were not as precise as they were at the concert last Monday evening. At the concert they were more confident and spiced up the music with their dynamics and accents. I am very grateful for the opportunity to watch these two bands perform. It was a lovely evening and I hope to be able to attend another jazz concert soon. The bands had put in hard work and featured extremely talented soloists that contributed to my great
The first person to play was supposed to be Sweetwater but they were stuck in traffic so Richie Havens had to open up the festival. Richie did not want to open the show and kept making up excuses but Michael Lang was not giving up he knew he could do it. At 5:07 pm he sucked it up and went out there and sang his spiritual heartwarming music. He was only suppose to do forty five minutes worth of songs but the crowd wanted more so he went back on stage and sang every song he knew. His last song was called “Freedom” everybody loved it so much that other bands had to do fantastic to compare. (Hilstrom)
I enjoy and listen to variety of music from classical music to rap music. I have attended many concerts, mostly symphony bands concerts. However, interestingly, through whole my life, I have never experienced jazz music and I have never been to jazz concert. Therefore, it was hard for me to decide which jazz concerts would give me most pleasure and exciting experience. I researched for jazz concerts listing and I have decided to go to the Ron Eschete Trio Concerts because it was held closed to my house and was free.
On Monday, October 09, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. the UIC Jazz Ensemble’s performance highlighted the music of two giants of the big band tradition, Count Basie and Thad Jones. The concert lasted about one hour. It started at 7:30 p.m. and went on till about 8:40p.m. There were seven songs that were performed. Every song was around ten minutes long. Some were a little bit shorter, about five to six minutes in length, and a couple songs were a little over ten minutes. The concert seemed to be well organized time-wise and well timed. Before the concert started, the director of the UIC Jazz Ensemble introduced the names of the performers: Samantha Aviles, Soprano and alto
