We pride ourselves on the quality of music we put out each year which has gained Disc Jam the reputation of being one of the more sought after festivals to play in the Northeast,” said Tony Scavone, owner of Disc Jam Presents. “We really are blessed to be at Camp Coldbrook once again. From the VIP campsites located inside the RV resort to the freshly mowed lawn that the community campground is set, you are surrounded by nature and picturesque views. The layout of this venue is truly something special and makes for a perfect setting for Disc Jam.”

Disc Jam embraces a small festival vibe while drawing larger bands from Boston, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and beyond. The 5th annual Disc Jam once again features an incredible lineup of musicians and artists ready to celebrate the best the Northeast’s diverse and thriving live music scene has to offer.

With side by side main stages decked out in beautiful decor and professional sound and lights, Disc Jam will deliver non-stop music from early in the day until well into the night. Following each night’s headlining acts the crowd’s energy is quickly transferred to the Disc Jam Concert Hall where bands perform memorable late night sets.

Once again playing host to the growing music festival is Camp Coldbrook, which boasts ample accessible parking, beautiful grass for group camping, traditional VIP campground camping sites with water and electric hook ups, ample RV camping sites, 2 swimming pools, arcade, tavern with full bar, laundry facilities, flush bathrooms, hot indoor showers, 9 hole par 3 disc golf course and much more.

Staying true to the festival’s name and roots, Disc Golf Tournaments will be held on Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14 at Barre Falls Dam Disc Golf Course, a short distance from Camp Coldbrook. With prizes from Innova and Pure Flight Disc Golf, a one round men’s and women’s singles tournament will be held on Saturday with doubles on Sunday. For Disc Golf enthusiasts, this feature of the festival is not to be missed!”

Announcing Trey Anastasio Band 2014 Fall Tour Dates

TAB - Fall Tour 2014
From Trey.com
“Trey Anastasio Band’s new album, Paper Wheels, isn’t due out until early 2015, but the group will be previewing some of the new songs during its 2014 Fall Tour. The run will kick off on November 28 (the day after Thanksgiving) at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago and include two-night stands at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, the Orpheum Theatre in Boston and New York City’s Beacon Theatre.

Fans can listen to (and download for free) “Bounce,” a song from Paper Wheels, at Trey.com. While much preparation went into Paper Wheels in terms of demos and rehearsals with TAB, the album was recorded in less than a week at The Barn, Anastasio’s reconstructed barn-turned-rehearsal/recording studio located outside Burlington, Vermont. Inspired by the immediacy of Stax-era recordings, Anastasio and his band mates recorded the songs live, playing and singing together in one room and often requiring no more than one or two takes.

Paper Wheels was produced and engineered by Bryce Goggin, who helmed several Phish albums and has also partnered with Anastasio on previous solo projects, and mixed by Elliot Scheiner (Steely Dan, Van Morrison).”
