This past weekend we got to be a part of a great first time event titled Camp & Jam in Amsterdam, NY. This was one of the most fun weekend events we have been involved with. The event was planned, organized, promoted, and hosted by the Perthshire’s David Kluska and the staff at Perthshire. Starting after 2pm Saturday afternoon DJ Anthony Parisi began spinning tracks. Soon after 3pm bands began taking the stage to jam while people set up their tents on the outside perimeter of this huge field. Around 9pm the first of the main acts, Conehead Buddha from Albany, NY took the stage for a performance that ran about 3 hours. Conehead only took one break while we watched a fire dancing exhibition in the field. Once Conehead Buddha (an 8 piece band) was cleaned up, the stage was reset for Mirk, a 7 piece power hip hop band out of Albany as well. Mirk put on a powerful and energetic set mixing Pop/R&B with powered up Hip Hop similar in a way to Linkin Park.
This event turned out to be a great exposure to the music scene taking place in the Albany, NY area and we look forward to doing it again next year. The staff at Perthshire deserve a lot of praise for their work and dedication to this first time event. Everyone working this event were incredibly friendly and full of enthusiasm. The facility itself was just amazing. This huge 65 acre facility handles all kinds of events from weddings and parties, to corporate events and outdoor parties. They have a beautiful setting perfect for those wedding photos. We loved it there! If you need a place for your event/party and you’re in that area (or don’t mind taking a ride) check out their website at www.perthshireofperth.com

This Thursday we will be back at the Captain Lawrence Brewery for the next NEXT Music Charity Concert Series event featuring pop country artist Jessica Lynn. This one is going to be a lot of fun and dancing! Jessica’s show will be pre-warmed by the great one Steven Wright Mark. Actually, Steven is in Jessica’s band as well. That should tell ya this is going to be great! We say it every time, if you haven’t been to the brewery for one of these shows, this is a good one to start. Bring a cowboy hat and some boots! Captain Lawrence Brewery is so easy to find right of I-287 in the White Plains area. Easily accessible to CT and NJ as well as the Westchester and Putnam County New Yorkers.
