Last Thursday’s installment of the NEXT Charity Concert Series instilled us with a sense of pride. It’s a nice gift to work the same venue once a month or so, but when it is a brewery with the variables we meet each show and we turned it into a concert hall? Well, it just fills you up with pride to see it all come together. Now we don’t take all the credit. We don’t take much of it. Just our part in making it sound like Madison Square Garden! Chris Bro of NEXT deserves much of the credit for all his work for the love of music! And of course Captain Lawrence Brewery deserves much notice as incredible hosts of these shows.
Working with The Attic Ends last week we got to sit back and enjoy the
fruits of our fine tuning labors. But! Not without earning it this time! Setting up seemed like what ever could go wrong did go wrong. From electrical issues (sound engineer “B” got electricuted even) that were attempting to blow up our equipment to grounding issues. But once sound check was done and the lights went out, Charlie Scopoletti took the stage and warmed up the crowd to ultimately one of the finest tuned breweries this world will see. Charlie, who also opened up last month’s NEXT show for Glint, is an amazing performer. We enjoyed working with Charlie and he really puts on an excellent show.

Last year at Paulie’s in Pleasantville, NY we got to work with The Attic Ends for the first time. It was a wonderful show, but this time would be different. This time would be the big sound of Captain Lawrence Brewery! It was amazing to see how far The Attic Ends have come as a band in the last year. With their new album, Fortress, being released we were treated to some amazing new songs. The show had more flow to it (or even more flow) and more energy. The new tracks came across great.
As a production company though, we really sat back thrilled by the overall sound we now get from this venue. Next up we get to work with American Pinup this Friday. This is our first time working with American Pinup but watching their videos gives one the impression of Imelda May with more power.
This show is at the brewery again. Although not a part of the NEXT series, it is going to be a great show. So come out and see how a brewery can be the greatest Rock Venue this Friday at Captain Lawrence!
See you there!
