This week I’m here to tell you about a band from New York City coming to Vermont, and a band from Vermont going to New York City.
Clayton Sabine is a musician and a band (or a musician with a band) from the Brattleboro area, who I got to see perform this summer at Roots on the River in Bellows Falls.

So I slacked off a little on my MySpace write-up, but this one will make it up to you. How cool is the idea of “Scottish kilt-rock from Vermont?”
You have no idea until you check out Prydein from Burlington. Really, I’m not kidding — you’ve got to hear this to believe it.

How about it folks? Three cheers, hell, make it four, for Friday Night Live! Only it’s second year and what a great summer it was. It is so cool to go downtown on a Friday Night and see Center Street packed with people of all ages and types, checking out the music, the vendors, socializing, and just having a good time. Kudos to The Downtown Rutland Partnership and everyone who helped make this a success.

One of the biggest names to ever stand in front of the spotlight at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland will be taking center state at 8 p.m. Sunday to close out the 2008 Sizzlin’ Summer Series.
John Hiatt will be performing songs covered by music legends Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt as well as hits from his recently released album “Same Old Man” that hit store shelves in May.
Hiatt, an 11-time Grammy nominee and soon-to-be recipient of a lifetime achievement award for songwriting, has been an influential figure in the world of rock, blues and country music since his first Top 40 hit, “Sure as I’m Sittin’ Here,” covered by Three Dog Night in 1973.

To stretch my Rutland Long Trail Fest write-ups one more week, I’m going to both start off by thanking all the people that were involved by name, (just kidding).
More importantly, I’d like to ask people who came and enjoyed to help out next year. It was a great event that involved a lot of local folks’ time and effort, and they will need you next year. There will be a wrap-up meeting next Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Dana School in Rutland, room 22 (to your right and upstairs) to go over this year’s pros and cons, and start looking ahead to next year.

Fernando from Spain writes: “I’m from Spain and I’m 16. I love LRB (Little River Band) music and I founded the Spanish LRB fan club.”
Tom from Albuquerque, N.M., writes:
“I want to start by saying thank you for the years of not just great music but for inspiration through good and bad times. I am 35 years old and first remember hearing your songs as my mom would sing them around the house. I fell in love with my wife when I was 23 and have great memories of us driving the mountains with the top off the Jeep blaring your songs.”

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have been living up to their name this summer — no rest for the wicked.
With a hectic touring schedule, which has had them opening up for Southern rock heavyweights The Black Crowes and tripping across the globe for gigs as far away as Switzerland, this Vermont rock band, which has fast become one of the state’s top musical exports, is finally homebound after a two-month stretch on the road.

Whatever went down that first time after practice with The String Cheese Incident, when two career percussionists who were resolved night owls decided to not let a perfectly fine evening go to waste and jammed into the night, ultimately set in motion the creation of what would become a live electronic music project.
