Clannad – In A Lifetime: The Farewell Tour at Penn’s Peak Sept 8 2023

By Daisy Schneider — 1 year ago

Penn’s Peak is proud to announce Clannad – In A Lifetime: The Farewell Tour, Friday, September 8, 2023 at 8pm.

On 8th April 2022 BMG released IN A LIFETIME (THE IMMERSIVE COLLECTION), a new “immersive” mix from the original tapes of Clannad’s global smash hits including a new 2022 “immersive” mix of the ‘In A Lifetime’ single (originally released in 1985) with Bono of U2 as the featured vocalist.

 

Bono’s performance retains all its power and cultural importance with the new immersive mix giving the duet between Clannad’s Moya Brennan and Bono a new dimension of intimacy.

Further revelations within this new album concept come in the form of a reimagined version of ‘White Fool’. The socially challenging track features original guest vocals from Steve Perry, lead singer of Journey.

While the vocals remain true to the original, Pól Brennan from Clannad has completely rebuilt the track from the ground up with contemporary sympathetic and balanced programming, new drumming and instrumentation plus new vocal parts from Moya Brennan.

Not only does this bring the track beautifully up to date but also allows the immersive mix to push all the new elements to the maximum effect.

The two newly recorded songs ‘A Celtic Dream’ and ‘Who Knows (Where The Time Goes)’ were already expansive upon their initial debut on the band’s 2020 anthology “In A Lifetime” and are now given the immersive mix, these tracks produced by famed producer Trevor Horn take on a new dimension in 360 Reality Audio.

“The last songs as well, they have an expansive sound to start with so they’re just exploding in the room… I think the fans are going to love this.” (Pól Brennan)

The digital release of “IN A LIFETIME (THE IMMERSIVE COLLECTION)” creates the bridging gap between the band’s re-scheduled global farewell tour and the “IN A LIFETIME” anthology collection. Released in 2020, the anthology captures Clannad’s incredible and enduring body of work which has, over 16 studio albums, created a legacy that’s influenced a generation of fellow Irish musicians and artists.

“IN A LIFETIME (THE IMMERSIVE COLLECTION)” will be released digitally in 360 Reality Audio, a new immersive music experience utilizing Sony’s spatial audio technology, that will let listeners hear this incredible collection like never before. The 360 Reality Audio content will be available on Amazon Music Unlimited, Deezer and TIDAL, and can be enjoyed on any headphones and supporting speakers. For additional details visit: 360 Reality Audio official website

Clannad has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Bruce Hornsby, Steve Perry (Journey), JD Souther, Paul Young, Duke Special and most recently Denise Chaila but their most successful collaboration by far was with enthusiastic supporter and fan, Bono of U2. A fan of the band who declared singer Moya as “one of the greatest voices the human ear as ever experienced,” Bono duetted with the singer on Clannad’s 1985 hit single – and the song which gives this collection its title – In A Lifetime.

IN A LIFETIME is a multi-format, career-spanning anthology containing tracks from Clannad’s 50-year recording career. Available as 37 track 2CD set, 2CD deluxe, 2LP deluxe smokey vinyl and an expanded deluxe 100+ track bookpack as well as a digital version. Compiled in conjunction with Clannad band members.

The anthology will both delight and excite Clannad’s enormous and loyal fanbase as well as introduce this legendary, influential and culturally important band to a whole new generation of music fans.

Lucky Moon Zooz is the horn powered super band comprised of Too Many Zooz, Moon Hooch, and Lucky Chops. A project years in the making, the LMZ live show will feature each band performing in their usual configurations as well as a host of new combinations of the various bands’ personnel, culminating in all three bands performing together in their entirety.

Though the band turned heads in the music industry as relative unknowns with a charismatic, unconventional sound, they were already a familiar and beloved sight to strangers in New York, who would react with such joy and fervor to their impromptu subway platform sets that the NYPD had to ban them from locations that couldn’t handle the crowds.
NY Mag once referred to their sound as “Jay Gatsby on ecstasy,” while the NY Post fell for their “catchy melodic hooks and funky rhythms,” saying they had “the power to make you secretly wish that the short subway wait becomes an indefinite delay.”

Drawing from their shared roots busking in the NYC subway to their years touring the world, this is the brass fueled dance party of the millennium! Too Many Zooz are a busking phenomenon born in the subways of New York City. Their unique sound smashes together jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, funk, EDM structures and house music. Their amazing Youtube clips have millions of views and they performed live with Beyonce and The Dixie Chicks at the CMA Awards.
Show:  Lucky Moon Zooz

Damn the Torpedoes – Tom Petty Concert Experience Plays Penn’s Peak September 16, 2023

By Staff — 1 year ago

Damn the Torpedoes – Tom Petty Concert Experience Plays Penn’s Peak September 16, 2023

Over the years Damn The Torpedoes has evolved with more committed members and a deep understanding of the Tom Petty catalog.

The current lineup has been in place for several years and demonstrates the unspoken chemistry that makes a great band. The signature riffs, harmonies and underlying parts of the music are all there—along with some fresh twists that are often inspired in the moment. The resulting performances have audiences smiling, singing, dancing and mourning the loss of this great artist.

Damn the Torpedoes – Tom Petty Concert Experience Plays Penn’s Peak September 16, 2023

 

Rich Kubicz, who plays the role of Tom Petty in the show, has been playing guitar and singing since his early teens. By 2007, so many people had told him that he looked and sounded like Tom Petty that he decided to put together Damn The Torpedoes as a tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

His goal was to play all of the studio hits, with live versions and some deep cuts to create the illusion of a Tom Petty concert performance. This meant that each band member would need to duplicate the sounds as found on the records.

Rodney Atkins, one of Country Music’s biggest stars, has reached such heights as being named the Top New Male Vocalist at the ACM Awards, and seeing his single “Watching You” become the Number One Song of the Decade, according to Country Aircheck, and earn the songwriter a BMI “Million-Air” Award.

The RIAA Platinum-selling artist’s current solo studio album, Caught Up in the Country, reveals an artist who is confident enough to know that making you best music can require patience and experimentation.

The results are his most daring collection so far, touching on emotions and sounds which continue to expand his range- from the twangy celebration of the album’s title track (featuring the roof-raising vocals of The Fisk Jubilee Singers) to the slow-burn cover of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up.”

With six Number One singles, eight Top 5 singles, and 1.4 billion career on-demand streams under his belt, Atkins continues to be recognized as one of the most powerful voices in Country Music.

Atkins was the second most-played male artist of the decade overall.

He has also sold over 11.4 million units and earned ten career Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum RIAA certifications to date, including his latest Gold-cerfified single, “Caught Up in The Countyr (feat. The Fisk Jubilee Singers),” which also set the record for longest-running single (at the time) in Billboard Country Airplay history at 57 weeks. Atkins has performed on NBC’s TODAY Show, GMA’s Strahan & Sara and Fox & Friends.

Dark Star Orchestra Celebrating the Grateful Dead Experience at Penn’s Peak May 21

By Ruben Kellermen — 2 years ago

Penn’s Peak announces Dark Star Orchestra – Celebrating the Grateful Dead Experience, Sunday, May 21, 2023 at 8pm.

Performing to critical acclaim for over 20 years and over 3000 shows, Dark Star Orchestra continues the Grateful Dead live concert experience. Their shows are built off the Dead’s extensive catalog and the talent of these seven fine musicians.

On any given night, the band will perform a show based on a set list from the Grateful Dead’s 30 years of extensive touring or use their catalog to program a unique set list for the show. This allows fans both young and old to share in the experience. By recreating set lists from the past, and by developing their own sets of Dead songs, Dark Star Orchestra offers a continually evolving artistic outlet within this musical canon. Honoring both the band and the fans, Dark Star Orchestra’s members seek out the unique style and sound of each era while simultaneously offering their own informed improvisations.

Dark Star Orchestra offers much more than the sound of the Grateful Dead, they truly encapsulate the energy and the experience. It’s about a sense of familiarity. It’s about a feeling that grabs listeners and takes over. It’s about that contagious energy…in short, it’s about the complete experience and consistent quality show that the fan receives when attending a Dark Star Orchestra show.

Dark Star Orchestra has performed throughout the entire United States, including a sold out debut at Colorado’s Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, plus shows in Europe and the Caribbean with the band touching down in seven different countries. DSO continues to grow its fan base by playing at larger venues for two and even three-night stands, as well as performing at major music festivals including Bonnaroo, Milwaukee’s SummerFest, The Peach Music Festival, Jam Cruise, Wanee Festival, SweetWater 420 Festival, Mountain Jam, and many more.

In addition to appearing at some of the nation’s top festival, Dark Star Orchestra hosts its own annual music festival and campaign gathering, titled the “Dark Star Jubilee”, currently in its eighth year where DSO headline all three nights and are joined by a mix of established and up and coming national touring acts. Beyond the shores of the United States, DSO has taken its internationally-acclaimed Grateful Dead tribute to the beaches of Jamaica in the dead of winter for the past six years, with their event appropriately titled ‘Jam in the Sand’. Featuring an ocean-side stage, DSO sets up camp to perform shows for four nights along the tropical sands of an all-inclusive resort, selling out the event each year for hundreds of lucky attendees.

Fans and critics haven’t been the only people caught up in the spirit of a Dark Star show. The band has featured guest performances from six original Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, Vince Welnick, Tom Constanten and even toured with longtime Dead soundman, Dan Healy. Other notable guests have included Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman of Phish, Keller Williams, Warren Haynes, Steve Kimock, Peter Rowan, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot and many more.

“For us it’s a chance to recreate some of the magic that was created for us over the years,” keyboardist and vocalist Rob Barraco explains. “We offer a sort of a historical perspective at what it might have been like to go to a show in 1985, 1978 or whenever. Even for Deadheads who can say they’ve been to a hundred shows in the 90s, we offer something they never got to see live.”

Tickets on sale Friday, March 17th at 10:00AM at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar.  Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.

Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Heads to Sherman Theater May 7

Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein emerged from the fiery pits of New Jersey to bring his horror punk show to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on May 7.

Doyle has made his own distinct mark on the genre with the inception of his self-entitled band.  Opening the show will be Salem’s Childe, Black Dawn, Silence is Survival and Regicide.

The unmistakable sound of Doyle’s signature Annihilator guitar cuts through on every tune like a sonic fingerprint. The Annihilator’s tone is sharp as a butcher’s knife in the wrong hands and just as nasty – fans of the Misfits will recognize it right away.

Doyle lyrics are uncompromisingly dark and not for the faint of heart. There is absolutely zero attempt to balance the evil with any sort of good counterpoint. Music fans looking for feel-good anthems had best look elsewhere – those who enjoy strolling through the shadows will be greatly satisfied.

Vocalinst Alex Story of Cancerslug switches seamlessly from raw-throated roars to rough-edged, yet melodic, clean vocals. His live performances can only be described as unforgettable, disturbing, and strangely addictive – a perfect complement to the already mammoth stage presence of Doyle himself.

No metal band would be complete without a complete animal behind the drum kit. Brandon “The Crusher” Pertzborn of Black Flag delivers all the aggression and insanity necessary (and then some) with his exquisite musicality and showmanship.
So what can fans expect at a Doyle show?

“To get pummeled, man. And then go home and ask themselves ‘What just happened to me?!?’, hahaha…” Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein replies with a laugh that actually sounds evil. Loud, aggressive, and technically proficient, Doyle and crew are set to show the world how true horror metal sounds today.

So check out Doyle on tour, and let the beatings begin!
