Our friend and Chatham, NY soundman Rob Caldwell of goodmusica.com (Hudson, NY area) was kind enough to send the following email blast to his friends & subscribers:
The Full Chandler Davis Philharmonic 8 PM Friday night Peint O Gwrw Main Street Chatham July 8
Chandler Travis is the King of the World – here’s what well informed handsome and noted women and men about town have been whispering about the Band –
Like some cosmic collision between NRBQ, Marcel Duchamp, Captain Beefheart and Spike Jones
A huge cosmic accident…very odd,very beautiful,
Andy Partridge of XTC and Beat poet Gregory Corso, wandering between Saturn and New Orleans to sit in with the Sun Ra Arkestra
Puts the harm back in Philharmonic.
You know what? I’m not even going to try to talk you into this one – this is just too good a show. Anyway it might be better if there was a little extra room for me to do my dancing stuff. Personally I will be there early to eat have a nice pint or two, shake my head and wonder about how my life has taken me to this particular point in time. Then I will take the time to enjoy my location, my fortune, my friends and peers in the rare situation of being in the right place at the right moment. I’ll be the guy up front.
Gee wizz – thanks, Rob!
We’ll add that we’re equally excited about our other upcoming gigs this weekend at Zaika in Clifton Park, NY (Thursday, July 7), The Riverlink Park Festival in Amsterdam, NY (Saturday, July 9), and the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, MA (Sunday, July 10). This promises to be another delightful excursion to our new home-away-from-home in Western Mass and the area around Albany, NY.
