Thanksgiving Week Jam-A-Thon @ The Brass Lantern

With a whopping 7 bands scheduled in 3 days (Wednesday, Friday, & Saturday), the Brass Lantern has ensured that they are the ONLY choice if you’re wondering where to check out the best live music in Berks County this week.

Psychedelphia

Starting off on Wednesday, traditionally known as the biggest bar night of the year, the Brass Lantern welcomes psychedelic rock & jazz ensemble, Pychedelphia, out of Philadelphia (the name says it all). 

It’s the first time Pychedelphia will be appearing at the Brass Lantern, and it will be their second show of the day, since they are scheduled to play a post-Phish party (from Tuesday at 11:30pm until 6am on Wednesday) with acts like The Breakfast, Steve Molitz (Particle), and DJ Logic.  It should prove to be a very big show for them.  They also have scheduled gigs at The M Room (Philly), The Chameleon Club (Lancaster), and the Millcreek Tavern (Philly) to finish out the rest of 2009.

Supporting Pychedelphia will be local indie rock band Flux Capacitor, who are seasoned veterans of the Brass Lantern, where they always put on a great show, as well as at various Berk County bars and clubs.  They finish out their year with stops in Columbus (Ohio), Ocean City (Maryland), and Allentown.

The music starts at 9:30pm with Flux Capacitor and then Pychedelphia coming to the stage around 11:30pm.  Thanksgiving Eve is sure to be filled with an evening of dancing and smiling, all in preparation for the annual feast the following day.

Friday evening, November 27th, marks the return of our favorite bluegrass jam band, Cabinet, out of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area.  Every night at the Brass Lantern with the bluegrass phenoms is a musical journey that leaves their large following wanting more and more.  The room is always filled with great people (all smiles) and with the holiday mode still in effect, we expect this night to be one of the best of 2009.  Come chill out after dealing with those Black Friday shopping crowds with some of the best jam bluegrass in Pennsylvania.

With only this show and a Thanksgiving Eve show at Appalachian Brewing Company (Harrisburg) scheduled before taking some time off through Christmas & New Year’s to be with friends & family, Cabinet will be prepped and ready for yet another dance-fest. 

This show will start at 10pm with two long sets.  Be sure to catch Cabinet at one of these two shows!

Saturday ends the weekend right at the Brass Lantern with “Moonlight Forest Studios (in association with PlusVibes Productions) presents…A Wooded Revue“.

Called “a celebration of quality original music [indie-folk-bluegrass] from Philly to New York to the Moonlight Forest” [a recording studio in Fleetwood (PA) managed by Daniel Bower], the night features four bands from those regions who have all been previous guests of the studio and/or have performed at various musical events held on the property, and who have all formed a musical union and personal friendship with Bower over the years.

Wissahickon Chicken Shack, Hezekiah Jones, Joe D’Amico Band, and Land of the Look Behind are all scheduled to play throughout this night, with Bower being the ringleader and emcee for the evening. 

“It’s refreshingly communal,” Bower explains, “…we all listen to each other’s music.  We all play together and go to each other’s shows.  There’s no competitive nonsense – just creative people having fun together.  ‘A Wooded Revue’ is our attempt to bring the vibe out of the woods and to the live music lovers of Berks County”.

The event will begin at 9:30pm and it will also be coinciding with a canned food drive for “Friend, Inc.“  where we will be offering $2 off your admission price for any item donated.

We encourage you all to take part in this wonderful week of quality live music at the Brass Lantern (yet again).   Come and see why we are THE best spot in Berks County for live original music.
