live audio broadcasts from the River Street Jazz Cafe!

My taper friend Keith Litzenberger has begun broadcasting live shows from the River Street Jazz Cafe in Wilkes-Barre PA.  This is a small venue that books local, regional, and national acts.  Tom Moran the music buyer (and head chef) is also known for getting different well-known musicians together for one-off performances, and for pooling local talent together to create new bands.  Most of Keith's recordings from there can be found on Archive.org and/or bit torrent sites, but now you can stream many shows live too, using this link:

Tonight's band (Saturday 12/18) is The Heavy Pets, starting sometime between 10-10:30pm EST.  They're a "jamband" out of Florida that could be described as a great blend of rock & roll, rhythm & blues, jazz, funk, reggae, and fusion.  I've seen them a couple times... they're very good, and they're on the rise right now... I recommend checking them out. 

Right now you can still stream the recordings of the last 2 nights... the Free Music Orchestra and the George Wesley Band... but I don't think he's going to continue to record the live broadcasts, or if he does, he'll delete them once he has the show uploaded to Archive and/or the bit torrent sites, as that'll be better audio.

Just a note, these broadcasts are AUDIO ONLY, no video, incase you're thinking something isn't working right.  Although he may add video at some point.  And please forgive the short ad in the beginning... it's unavoidable.

PS:  I will be bumping this thread for most shows, or at least the ones I think somebody here might be interested in, so keep your eye out! 

TONIGHT (12/30), starting at about 10:15 EST, you can tune into a live audio stream of Pappy Biondo's (from Cabinet) "Pappy Time" CD release party at the River Street Jazz Cafe.  I have not personally heard his solo material, but I think we're talking bluegrass banjo.  Should be a good show.  I'll be there in person, so I probably won't have a chance to bump this thread closer to the time, so if anyone else here would be so inclined to do that for me, I'd appreciate it. 

Here's the link again to listen:  http://www.ustream.tv/channel/riverstjazzcafe

I didn't bother bumping this thread for the past couple live broadcasts, either because I didn't think there'd be an interest or I didn't have time, but afterwards I wished I had, because the shows were SO good.  But it's not too late!  Because there are always Keith's uploads to Archive and the bit torrent sites!  This one in particular I think some people here would enjoy... I already shared it with some people on chat and they were digging it... it was a Christmas allstar jam featuring George Wesley, Mike Miz, Dylan Skursky, John Shemo, Freeman White, and more.  They sounded fantastic together and the song selections were wonderful.  This is an excellent multitrack recording... at the Archive.org link you can just listen without downloading if you want......

Again, I hope to see some of you tuned in TONIGHT for the "Pappy Time" CD release party, starting around 10:15 EST!  Just click here ---> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/riverstjazzcafe

Edit:  I just found out Pappy will be taking the stage around 11pm.  Opening the show will be the Bog Country Band, featuring members of Cabinet.

PS:  I probably will not have a chance to bump this thread again as a reminder before the show, so if anybody else here would be so kind as to do it for me, I'd appreciate it.

We'll tune in here and I will give it a bump. Have fun Vikki. 

On the air and it be Bluegrass. Mandolins, violins, geetars, YEEEEHAW! And darned good Bluegrass at that!
Thanks for the reminder Vik, that was great music. Listened to the whole show. Both sets.
