Toned down tunes at the door of Trend, but everyone still rocks. Compared to last week, temperatures were close to the triple digits and the music was summery and upbeat so everyone was dancing nearly the entire event. However, Wednesday night’s event at Trend was more toned-down and almost entirely acoustic and earthy; that did […]

No extremity of heat waves or heat advisories kept this week’s open mic night from being almost entirely led by the young people.
Heat waves doesn’t keep everyone inside at Trend because they offer open mic. The young have the most positive energy at times, and it showed in open mic favorite Kyle Dowling, who plays acoustic guitar left-handed and has a voice almost comparable to a mix between Jason Mraz and Joe Don Rooney, the latter of […]

Broadway on a Budget: A Summer Guide to the Great White Way One of the best things about Montclair is the fact that it is only a hop, skip and jump away from New York City. Now that school is out, trips to the Big Apple can be more frequent. However, Broadway ticket prices do […]

The Outpost in the Burbs spring season finale on Friday, June 7, featured three diverse acts from different parts of the world: The Jammin’ Divas, Bobtown and Tall Heights.
Jammin Divas, Bobtown and Tall Heights perform in Montclair. It is appropriate that the Tri-Bill was held in the intimate setting in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation’s Fletcher Hall. It was complete with chairs and round tables. Not only is it because the Outpost is generally all about togetherness and helping out those in need, but […]
Jorma Kaukonen, famously of Jefferson Airplane but even more famously of Hot Tuna, gave a sold-out performance on Thursday, May 30, with satisfying helpings of “tuna helper,” as exclaimed by one seasoned fan and enthusiastic concert-goer.
Jorma Kaukonen creates a great ora in the town of Montclair. The sweltering outdoor temperatures, which reached the upper 90’s, did not stop anyone from getting together to take in some sunshine that Jorma Kaukonen brought forth. He brought it forth by keeping his lyrics and musical timbre in tune with the summery climate. Every note that came […]
