Behind The Board – Updates and December’s NEXT Charity Concert

The holiday season is in full swing. Parties, shopping and all the madness that goes with it. This is a very musical time as well with many different types of music events from school plays to Christmas concerts. It’s a fun time for production companies like ours between winter weddings, Christmas parties, and music shows.

At November’s NEXT Charity Concert Series at Captain Lawrence Brewery we worked with a really cool band. The Stationary Set out of New York City. The show went super well and was a lot of fun. Their music is very melodic and dramatic. There can be a lot of pieces to an orchestration by them, well placed to add to the effect. We highly recommend you check them out.

Chris Bro of NEXT posted a video of the sound check on YouTube after the show. It was a quick peek during the monitors check (so don’t expect super sound!). Gives ya a nice view of the settings at these  shows. Take a look:

This month’s NEXT Charity Concert is one of our favorite bands. Deadbeat Darling brings their surf/indie rock to the brewery! The last time we worked with Deadbeat Darling was last year (October 2011) in Pleasantville, NY when the series was at Paulie’s Bar. You can listen to some of that show at the NEXT Soundcloud page if you need a reminder  (link). We are extremely excited to get to produce these guys at Captain Lawrence. The sound is going to be big! If you dance then be prepared to move this night! The show is Thursday December 13th at 8 PM (Doors at 7 PM). You can buy your tickets in advance here.

Remember, Captain Lawrence is easy to find right off Exit 2 on I 287 in Elmsford, NY. The beers there are amazing and it’s proven to be a very good sounding event hall with plenty of room for dancing!
