This isn’t a podcast made from a couch or behind a desk. It’s recorded on the road, under glowing marquees, inside green rooms, and at the venue itself where the real stories of live music unfold. I’m inside it and you’re right there with me. There’s crying, absurd chaos, and pure elation. It’s cinematic, intimate, and driven by theme and place. It's like the immersive reporting of NPR, fused with the backstage intimacy and stylish storytelling of an HBO rockumentary. You’ll hear stories from iconic venues, DIY warehouses, and analog spaces far off the map. I’ve recorded in snowstorms, on tour buses, at festivals, from the front row of songwriting rounds, and in parking lots with a finger in the air, searching for a miracle ticket.And we’re just getting started.

Push play for a tour of Happy Top, a one-of-a-kind B&B in Athens, Georgia that's also an analog performance space and recording studio. You'll hear the origin story, the approach to the vintage decoration and design (there's a piano in every room. Literally.), and how owner T.S. Woodward created a signal flow speaker system, giving each room a different audio flavor.

Salt Lake City has a strange reputation. When Kyle Lamont peels back the stereotypes however, she finds that the city’s concert culture is creative, edgy and kind. We will go from salt flats to velvet curtains, passing through local nerd caves. We will hang out with Travis Bone, a world renowned illustrator, and hear his surprising process when designing a concert poster. We will meet up with Will Sartain, the co-owner of the Urban Lounge, who might just spill secrets  about the venue's live music lore.Religion quite literally shapes this city’s geography. After spending time with Travis and Will, you will hear how  Mormonism also deeply influences the city’s concert culture. It’s a brand of kindness that seeps out from the artists in a very Salt Lake City way. Here, community is more important than celebrity. Take this episode as  your invitation to couch-surf through Salt Lake City’s caring crowd.Music heard in this episode: The songs you heard in this episode are Paint over Prayers, Coma, Face Against the Glass, This Winding Road and More Melody.

Heartbreak is a regenerative journey that takes you down many emotional paths. Depression, displacement—for me, denial that I would ever want to be in love again.And during each stage of the process, the perfect song would seem to serendipitously appear and like a lyrical blanket, insulate my cold heart.Starting with Carol King lamenting, "It's too Late," transitioning into Little Dragon’s, “No Love.” Then it was Peter Tosh bellowing, “Why Must I Cry,” and as of late, “Last Goodbye” by Jeff Buckley.  And many, many, other songwriters were there for me too. Yet, these songs are a double-edged sword inadvertently reinforcing despair. The truth is, they made me kind of calloused towards love too. But when I venture into the Amphitheater at the Bangor Waterfront to photograph contemporary pop stars JAX, MAX, and Big Time Rush, I feel giddy and carefree and I start to see love through a sparkling lens of optimism again.I can’t help but wonder, was this pop concert the culmination of my healing journey, or rather, the start of a new love cycle?For more Rockumentary podcasts exploring concert culture, go to http://concertcast.live/  Concert Cast: A Woman-Owned Independent Streaming Network for Concert CultureCreated and hosted by Kyle Lamont, Concert Cast explores concert culture through energetic music journalism.

New from Concert Cast, we present: Let’s Go Festival - A rockumentary podcast that brings the music festival to you.Our series starts in Farmington, Maine at the Sandy River Music Festival.  Here, there are no frills, just a bunch of passionate people coming together to celebrate local musicians.Singer Jason Spooner puts it this way: “We've played a bunch of festivals where it's kind of a zoo. Big lines and port-a-potty masses and mud and the energy's just almost a little too frenetic. This is more my style, everybody's laid back and very respectful." The Sandy River Music Festival might just be one of the most Maine things out there. Fire pits to gather around, fresh mountain water to swim in, musicians to sway to. It's a festival that manages to be both eclectic and cozy, vast and very familiar.The VenueIt seems that many Maine musicians feel that they have to leave Maine to make it in the music scene. And Mainers often feel like they have to go to big cities to hear music magic. What makes the Sandy River Music Festival so special is that when you stand in the field behind the Narrow Gauges cinema, where it is located, this feeling disappears. You are exactly where you need to be. You can feel magic in the river and in the crowds of committed music lovers. Families near campfires, friends dancing, solo campers meeting new friends. You can come to the Sandy River Festival as you are.Lena, from the Maine band Golden Oak told me, “Every time I come home, I'm so impressed. I'm just like, What is happening in Farmington? When did you get so hip and cool and super cool?”The MusicAn amazing thing about the music here is that it doesn’t feel exclusive. You can listen to bands reference each other in their set intros, grab a beer with them after they play or join in on impromptu fire pit jams.Many festival go-ers know the musicians too. Either indirectly, having grown up listening to them at shows or directly, as friends. And that’s a special feeling no-one takes for granted.The Camping - GlampingThe festival is an overnight affair. You’ve got some options. You can rent beautiful bell tents that can fit up to six of your friends. Or you can bring an RV. The camping grounds are spacious and within walking distance to the very swimmable Sandy River.The Idea Man - Meet John the Owner“He goes into a quantum timescape. He's running so fast and so steady. It's just like a stargate opens up.” That’s just one of the ways John, the organizer of this festival is described. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you’re looking for the story of one man backed by a superhero team of technicians, planners, builders and wizards making magic happen – have a listen to this episode of Concert Cast.Memorial Day Lineup of musical memoriesGet your tickets for this years festival  here.Special thank you toFranklin Savings bank for sponsoring this episode.

It’s a new year and I’m ready with my favorite playlists to hit the road and get my long-awaited live music fix…but wait, not quite yet. Omicron beats me to the venues and sends me off course. Searching for an ember of music in a strangely quiet Athens, Georgia, I stumble upon a freak folk soundscape at Flicker Theater & Bar. Childlike wonder takes over as I’m bewitched by the wild sights and sounds of Cookie Tongue. This truly bonus episode will introduce you to Omer Gal, Cookie Tongue’s creator. He is also a stop motion video maker, puppeteer and simply fascinating. And you’ll meet a mouse; that’s a Concert Cast first! In between sets, we talk with Adam Wayton, the talent buyer at Flicker Theater who is also in a band called The Pink Stones. He talks about his approach to booking and we hear why Athens is such a popular music town.

The rise of concert culture in Phoenix has changed its identity from a layover town to a live music destination. In this episode, we’ll go inside the Crescent Ballroom and Last Exit Live with Lotus and the Dead Winter Carpenters for a look into the energetic triad between venue, musician and audience. Will Bruder, famed architect of Burton Barr Phoenix Central Library, will join us to offer insight into his connection to space and a wild story about fringed suede boots in the 60’s. And while 9 years have passed since these discussions, the the enchantment of music and venue is timeless…maybe everything hasn’t changed.
