The Woodstock Revue
April 24th at Revolution Hall
The Woodstock Revue is part musical performance, part spectacle, part other-worldly family experience. The Revue consists of an energetic party host, and 3 independent bands, each with an alternative take on classic musical styles. Though it carries the Woodstock name, the subtitle of "This ain't ya mama's Woodstock" really describes where the show is at. "We are a de-mystified generation, armed with pop-psychology and full of fear. This show aims to bring back some of the mystery, magic and fun that was lost along the way." --Jason Bowman, founder Woodstock Revue
This show will include a table selling glass items, some hemp wares as well, free copies of High Times Magazine while supplies last, girls, boy-girls, a drum battle and more.
The Pitchfork Militia are real rednecks. Frontman Peter Head, despite his safeguards, has been struck by lightning no less than 4 times; only rednecks have that kind of luck. For over 10 years, this band has been blazing up the Woodstock "holler" with their self-labeled music style: Apocabilly...It's fun, it's fast, it's loud. With memorable, hypnotic riffs, and roof-raising solos, even the toughest critics agree that Peter Head is one of the greatest guitar players in the valley.
The Five Points Band are the Addams Family of Woodstock. They dress in all black and pour hot water on the neighbors when they come caroling. The band has performed nationally and internationally at rock festivals, blues festivals, marijuana festivals and backing Americana performers alike. Members include High Times Magazine favorite Robin the Hammer who is father to Acacia Ludwig (Red Hot Chili Peppers) who is wife to Jbird Bowman.
The Jack Grace Band. Jack Grace is the Martini Cowboy, a New York City bred singer, songwriter, guitarist, banjo-picker and whiskey drinker, serving up his freshest brew of heartbreaking ballads, robust drinking songs and honky-tonk hymns. Jack has opened for Merle Haggard, Doc Watson, Junior Brown, Dan Hicks, and even the Oak Ridge Boys, to name drop a few.
