Two funky drummers: Cage and Washington (at Empire)
All Aboard
Friday, April 10th, 2015
Gustav Hoffman (bass) took the beat down a notch during the CD release party for Slow Train at Empire Brewing Company last night. In the background is Byron Cage on drums (and Ustream controls).
We don’t know where the after party was for Syracuse Fashion Week last night,but maybe it should have been held at the Empire Brewing Company. We followed the sound of music in Armory Square, and it lead us to the Slow Train CD release show.
A packed house included guest musicians and some familiar faces. We look forward to seeing them again soon. Slow Train will travel to Rochester for their next show.
Thanks to Byron Cage for the invite.

Fashion Shows are a multi-dimensional experience, and what would they be without music. DJ V did a great job on opening night considering it was his first fashion gig.

Jeff Houston on stage at Juneteenth.
The local music scene is like a fraternity: so many good folks jamming, sharing and looking out for one another.
We were sad to hear about Jeff Houston’s passing. We caught him many times around Syracuse, but most recently at the Community Folk Art Center’s Women in Music series.
A tribute will take place at Dolce Vita where Houston usually played on Wednesday nights.
