Ok, as we come to the end of 2013 what does everyone have lined up for 2014. I have 3 shows already scheduled.

January 24 - New Hope Winter Wine Festival featuring Jimmy Webb
February 5 - California Transit Authority featuring Danny Seraphine, Marc Bonilla, Larry Braggs and Bill Champlin @ Havana New Hope

I've still got Goblin 2 & The Musical Box in December. Only gigs planned so far for 2014 are Blue Cranes and Hawkwind.

I'm going to see Mike Stern next week and that's it for this year, unless I head out to club or something.

I only have one show lined up in 2014:

Zappa Plays Zappa on January 30th.

[SteveSly]

Very strange for me, but I do not currently have tickets to a single show. Most likely will be seeing Musical Box in Grand Rapids MI in January, Tommy Castro (blues) in Kalamazoo MI in February, ROSfest in April, and ProgDay in September, but that’s it right now.

Seattle, next Wednesday.

[Scott Bails]

I have a busy summer ahead. So far, I have tix for Billy Joel at Citizens Bank Park, taking my daughter to see Bruno Mars, my new girlfriend loves (like, LOVES) Bruce Springsteen, so we're seeing him, she got me Yes tix for my birthday last weekend, and I'm hoping to get Queen + Adam Lambert tix this Friday.

[-=RTFR666=-]

Upcoming Phoenix events - - Taking my son to see the Portland Cello Project's "Bach, Brubeck and Beck" show this Saturday, then my oldest and youngest daughters to St Vincent next Tuesday (I'm as big a fan of Annie Clark as they are).

Considering going to Goblin on May 1 (but the Marquee Theater's an SRO venue and I might not be up to it, health-wise).

Bought the youngest daughter a Yamaha acoustic guitar for her birthday, and am taking her to see the California Guitar Trio on April 20 - hopefully that'll light a fire under her to start taking lessons...

Tool will be here on March 27, Dream Theater April 19, but both are 'been there, done that' events.

Johnny Clegg will be coming to Mesa soon but the venue only had crappy seats available, so I'm on the fence on that one.

Seriously considering Roger Hodgson on April 27 based on the PE reviews...

Brit Floyd will be coming to town - their Red Rocks concert was shown in part on the local PBS affiliate last night, but honestly I thought they paled in comparison to the performance of Aussie Pink Floyd...

[zombywoof]

ProgDay in September
Ian Anderson in October

Already saw Richard Thompson in February.

[Jay G]

Just added BOC at Tropicana in Atlantic City on May 31.

[Obscured]

March 25 - The Winery Dogs @ BB King's

Give me any other NY Philharmonic recommendations you can - I have some comp tickets because we went to see Sweeney Todd recently, and because they were taping for TV my excellent, f-ing expensive tickets turned out to be obstructed view. I was pissed.

[BrianG]

Well, it's really about what music you're interested in - unless there is a soloist you particularly like. Check the schedule at nyphil.org.

Interesting, I see nothing of this on pollstar. Must search more. He must be coming to a venue closer to DC.

From a Keneallist earlier this week:

Having done two "research mission" performances in San Diego and Los Angeles last month, the trio of Keneally-Bendian-Lunn will now apply the lessons learnt to a slate of performances in May 2014. A scant few weeks from now. We'll begin in Nashville (5/15), then move on to St. Louis, Chicago, Greenwood, Columbus, Baltimore, NYC, Long Island, Philly, Dunellen, Cambridge, Charleston, and wind up at a festival in Scottsville, KY (5/31).

Stoked about him coming back to WV!

[NogbadTheBad]

Just seen that Stolen Babies are touring with Goblin this July, I'll be going to the Worchester gig. I keep going to Goblin gigs for the support acts (Zombi, Secret Chiefs 3, Stolen Babies)

[SteveSly]

Just seen that Stolen Babies are touring with Goblin this July, I'll be going to the Worchester gig. I keep going to Goblin gigs for the support acts (Zombi, Secret Chiefs 3, Stolen Babies)

Agreed that would be a killer double bill. I saw Stolen Babies open for Lacuna Coil and The Gathering a few years ago. They were great.

[Just Eric]

Just seen that Stolen Babies are touring with Goblin this July, I'll be going to the Worchester gig. I keep going to Goblin gigs for the support acts (Zombi, Secret Chiefs 3, Stolen Babies)Amazing that Stolen Babies haven't yet stolen a spot at one of our regular prog fests! ;)

[rickawakeman]

I'll be at that IZZ gig.

I am trying to get my wife to this show as she never experienced the joys of a Magic Room concert prior to that venue's demise, hoping ARCH is similar. See you at IZZ!

[Brad to the Bone]

Here's my spring concert agenda:

May 17 & 18th - FIMAV, Victoriaville
Gord Grdina's Haram
Fred Frith & Evan Parker
Ken Vandermark's Audio One
Keiji Haino / Stephen O'Malley / Oren Ambarchi
Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld
Evan Parker Septet
Pierre Labbe & Michel Faubert
Fred Frith's Gravity Band

May 19th - Next Music From Tokyo, Montreal

Uchu Conbini
Jizue
Nayuta

June 11th-15th - Vision Festival, Brooklyn
A whole bunch of people including Charles Gayle, Jemeel Moondoc, Peter Brotzmann, Kidd Jordan, Satoko Fujii, William Parker, Hamid Drake, Nicole Mitchell, Mary Halvorson, and many more.

June 20th-30th - Ottawa Jazz Festival
A whole bunch more people including Mike Pride's From Bacteria To Boys, Harris Eisenstadt, Jason Adasiewicz, Colin Stetson & Hamid Drake, Steve Martin, Bill Frisell, Rudresh Mahanthapaa, Flat Earth Society, Norma Winstone, Aretha Franklin, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Bushman's Revenge, and probably many more.

Had hoped to squeeze in another road trip for Acid Mothers Temple in Toronto, but with FIMAV and Vision Festival so close together it wasn't meant to be this year. No clue for what's coming in July and beyond. Possibly return visits to the Chicago and/or Guelph Jazz Festivals but would need to see the lineups first. And Neutral Milk Hotel are coming to town in September; I'll probably go see them.

[NogbadTheBad]

Damn, Goblin just canceled their tour. I was really looking forward to seeing the support act, Stolen Babies.

[progeezer]

Saw the Chicago Pre-Broadway World Premiere of "The Last Ship", with music & lyrics by Sting last week. Was superb (both the music and the script). Found out while we were there that both Sting & Paul Simon were "in the house", but nary a glimpse for us.

Have tickets for 3 concerts that are all here in Madison, which is very rare. Usually Kay & I are off to Milwaukee or Chicago if there's something to lure us, but getting too old to go to everything I'd go to if I were 50, but I'm 20 years older than that:lol.

In July it's Yes, in August Steely Dan, and in September Crim. My local musician friends are even trying to reschedule/cancel booked gigs so they can spectate:lol.

What happened to Progday?

[progeezer]

What happened to Progday?Didn't list it because I'm still waiting to find out about the timing of Funda's family visiting from afar before committing & buying tix & plane tix.

Plus the fact that I'm of necessity scaling back. I'm gonna rewrite Chicago's lyrics and make it "Feeling Older Every Day";).

All that said, I'm still hoping to go.

Swans tomorrow.

Anyone seen the current tour?

We were (happily) shocked at the Crimson date. It is really great to catch them and Yes in town instead of Milwaukee or Chicago.

We are going to see Ian Anderson in Milwaukee, as well.

I will be curious what you think of Howlin Rain. They are a band I discovered through Classic Rock magazine. Picked up their live album from last year and absolutely love it. “The Russian Wilds” is also a great studio album. They have never played my area that I am aware of.

I've seen Howlin Rain 3 times. They are fantastic live. I've been a fan since their first album.

I just got their new one "Mansion Songs" today. Quite a bit different than Russian Wilds. Much more in a The Band or Neil Young vein. A bit more twang to it. Very acoustic based as well.

Shaping up to be a great Spring here in the Northeast, after our miserable winter, if one is willing to do some road time (and I am!)

First up-
IQ at la Tulipe in Montreal April 10. We were at this venue for Neal Morse at the end of February. It was brutally cold, Got us some M&G tix. Haven't seen the band, one of my all-time neo faves, since the second Nearfest set in what, '05? Five hour drive.

Next will be Glass Hammer and Circuline at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock NY on April 25 iirc. Have been on board with GH since the first album ('93?), loved them at Nearfest so will make the trek west. Two hour drive through the beautiful Berkshires and then into the western Catskills. Beautiful area, first time to this venue.

Finally, Steven Wilson at the Egg in Albany, got some sweet center orch tix for the first show of the US tour. 1.5 hours, thru the Berkshires, last saw Renaissance at this beautiful venue.

Yea Spring!

[progeezer]

I forgot about Wilson (not Brian or the Seattle siblings) here in Madison on June 6th. Tix purchased.

[Digital_Man]

Steven Wilson with my wife at the Keswick in Philly on May 28 and Rush with my wife and two stepdaughters - June 25 at Wells Fargo Center, also Philly.

I have a ticket for the SW show. I am planning on going to see that RUSH concert as well but haven't purchased a ticket yet.

[Digital_Man]

Aristocrats August 8 @ North Star Bar

Not much of a fan of that venue(More like the actual location)but am considering going anyway even though I don't really know this band.

[Garyhead]

Not exactly Prog but a rare occurrence up here in the left hand corner........Al Stewart 6/21 in Everett WA and Steeleye Span 7/14 in Seattle. Snagged Tix for both.

[Mstove]

I forgot about Wilson (not Brian or the Seattle siblings) here in Madison on June 6th. Tix purchased.

Pretty good run here in Madison for prog from Yes, to KC to Wilson. Not bad for a city that's usually pretty light on prog shows.

[polmico]

Well hell yeah!

I can add Jaga Jazzist, Primus and Dinosaur Jr. (the latter two are sharing a bill) to the concert list!

Holy Cow, I live in a relatively small market and the concert variety around here announced for the summer is really pretty amazing already. Old bands, new bands, you name it they all seem to be out on the road this summer. Not a lot of prog, but still a ton of live music to choose from, and I don’t even live in a big city.

As of right now sure things are:

Primus
ROSfest
Gordon Lightfoot (Kalamazoo)
Apocolyptica (Grand Rapids)
Rush (Detroit)
Aerosmith (Grand Rapids)
Symphony X (Grand Rapids)

Other shows I am considering or waiting for tickets to go on sale:

Gary Clarke Jr. (Grand Rapids)
Yes / Toto (Detroit)
Steven Wilson (Chicago)
Umphrey’s McGee (Grand Rapids)

The Guelph Jazz Festival's indoor programming has been announced and includes:

Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Strings + Matt Brubeck
Evan Parker & Colin Stetson
Jason Adasiewicz's Sun Rooms
Kris Davis Capricorn Climber
Thumbscrew (Mary Halvorson/Tomas Fujiwara/Michael Formanek)
Darius Jones Quartet

Matana Roberts
Rocket Science (Evan Parker/Peter Evans/Ikue Mori/Sam Pluta)
Bly de Blyant (with Hilmar Jensson, Shahzad Ismaily, and Ches Smith)
Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog
Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet

The free outdoor programming will be announced later. Some interesting changes this year for festival regulars...

(a) After being held the weekend after Labour Day for the previous 21 years, this year the festival has been moved one week later and runs September 16th-20th.
(b) The festival's founder and programming director for its entire 21 year history, Ajay Heble, is apparently gone but possibly only for this year. I was told he took a one-year sabbatical from his teaching position at the University of Guelph and I guess left the festival at the same time.
(c) Looks like all new venues for this year's festival. No concerts at the River Run Centre, Guelph Youth Music Centre, or St. George's Church. No idea what's up with that and will definitely miss the GYMC. Also, no River Run Centre means no concerts with assigned seating. Everything is general admission.

Decemberists in Sept.

Saw them at the beginning of the summer. Awesome sound, better than the record.

[rickawakeman]

I'll be seeing Pugwash here in town at the Iron Horse in Northampton (MA) in September. My prog bud saw them last year and said they put on a great fun show. I had not even heard of them until my bud turned me onto them and the two related Duckworth Lewis Method albums (though many of the cricket references are lost on me...)

Also grabbed third row (pit) seats for Steve Hackett in Albany in early November. Love that venue (the Egg), where I've seen Renaissance and Steven Wilson.

[Jay G]

Just added 2 great nights of guitar on back to back nights.

Uli Roth w/Jennifer Batten and Andy Timmons - April 5 Sellersville Theater
Joe Satriani - April 6 Keswick Theater

[Mt. Pleasant Farm]

Just caught 6 Hackett shows in 10 days. I am pooped. Worth every minute.

[No Pride]

Just got tickets to see the super freakish Tommy Emmanuel Feb 12 at Keswick in Glenside PA.

I can't imagine you not having a great time, Jay! I've seen him live and it was one of my most memorable concerts. He's not only one of the most amazing solo acoustic guitar players on the planet; he's a great entertainer too! He went over 2 hours and it never got boring for a second.

[Zeuhlmate]

Just bought 2 tickets to KC 23.9.16

[NogbadTheBad]

Bent Knee on the 3rd in Lowell

Robin Trower is coming to Royal Oak, MI on May 7. Another performer I want to see before it's too late.

[SteveSly]

Robin Trower is coming to Royal Oak, MI on May 7. Another performer I want to see before it's too late.

He is coming to Kalamazoo as well, but it is the same weekend as ROSfest which I am probably going to attend. I have seen Trower twice, the last time a few years ago and he is still great.

[Mt. Pleasant Farm]

I saw Iron Butterfly last night for the very first time. They were on my bucket list. I thoroughly enjoyed them. That was quite a ride! I understand that there are no totally original members but some have been with the band for a very long time. I think that the lead guitarist said that 3 of the original members have passed away. Still, a really good show.

My son and I have seen Tommy a few times now. always entertaining. Sorry we missed the show about 4 years back where he was all electric with his brother.

[rickawakeman]

Todd Saturday night right here in town at the Calvin. Next Friday night Security Project right here in town at the Academy of Music. Have I mentioned how great a place Northampton is to live if you dig music?

[Scott Bails]

I bought tix for Marillion yesterday - show is almost a year away, however. And hoping to get Springsteen tickets tomorrow for his show in February. GF is a HUGE fan.

Damn - they're not coming anywhere near me. Only seen them once and it was fantastic.

[NogbadTheBad]

Steve Wilson March 3rd

[rickawakeman]

With the Wilson show at the Beacon on 3/5/16 now a wonderful memory, setting my sights on Spring.

So far, here's what's on the schedule:

Steve Hackett-Place des Arts, Montreal, April 9. This is the beautiful theater in which we saw the first "Revisited" tour in '13 iirc; we saw the show the following year in Lynn MA and although the show itself was great, the beautiful theater in Montreal adds to the experience. (We saw last year's show in Albany at the wonderful Egg, but the Egg is no Theatre Maisonneuve).

Anderson Ponty Band-Calvin Theater, Northampton, May 21. I had been google-mapping the distance to shows in New York and had given up plans to attend when this date was announced here in my town! Got in via pre-sale, looking forward to seeing Jon whom I've not seen since the Anderson/Wakeman show in Worcester at the Hanover (another beautiful theater!) some years back (Ponty I saw with RTF not too many years back...)

Plus Stick Men and Project Object at the Iron Horse here in town in April. Shaping up to be a good spring...now if Electric Strawbs would book a local date (I'm not around for the Mohegan Sun show), I'd be a very happy man.

[NogbadTheBad]

I was going to see Hiromi in Boston but I'll be traveling back from Big Ears, added God Is An Astronaut

[rickawakeman]

"Seek and ye shall receive..."

Electric Strawbs, Iron Horse, Northampton MA (have I ever mentioned that's right here in my town?) 5/26/16! Nice intimate setting where I've seen Acoustic Strawbs several times...psyched to see Iona guitarist Dave bainbridge on keys!

[boilk]

Lots of great stuff coming up for me.

Mar 25 - Magma
Mar 26 - Magma
Apr 1 - Intronaut
Apr 2 - Magma
Apr 3 - Iron Maiden (maybe)
Apr 19 - The Melvins
Apr 29 - Third Eye Open (Tool tribute, performing Lateralus in its entirety)
Apr 30 - Stickmen

neil

[Dave (in MA)]

I've got Stick Men in April, Anderson/Ponty in May, and taking the wife to see Hayward in May and Ferry in July.

[Hunnibee]

Can't afford anything on the radar until I find a new job, but I'm hoping I can scrape up some $$$ to see Justin Hayward in Sacramento in June.

[NogbadTheBad]

Just got a ticket for Nik Bartsch Mobile in NYC in May at the Rubin, woo woo.

[rickawakeman]

Ah, springtime in New England! Here's what's on tap(besides maple syrup)...

Steve Hackett, Montreal, 4/9/16
Stick Men, Iron Horse, Northampton (MA) 4/21/16
Anderson Ponty Band, Calvin Theater, Northampton 5/21/16
Electric Strawbs, Iron Horse, Northampton 5/26/16

Sure is cool to live here in 'Hamp!

[Scott Bails]

Hiromi Trio this Friday

Straight No Chaser on April 10.

[rickawakeman]

La Tulipe (where presumably you are seeing the Residents) is where we saw the Neal Morse Band and IQ last year. Cool club, apparently one of Montreal's oldest theaters. No Lino sightings at either NM/IQ. (Not sure if Lino remembers my wife Karen and I via Nearfests, FMPM).

[tonewalk]

Peter Hammill in Montreal and Quebec in early June, then Fairport Convention's Cropredy Festival in mid-August.

[Yves]

Black Mountain on July 21st is the only thing on the horizon except for a road trip to Sherbrooke QC to see TMB on April 16. I live in a city that has a thriving live music scene but I don't make it to too many gigs. I can't do the weekday gigs where the show ends at midnight because I am up at 5:00AM for work, and usually the venues are at least an hour from my house. Weekend gigs seem a rare occurrence foe the bands I'd like to see.

[Lino]

Iggy Pop tomorrow night. woohooo

[-=RTFR666=-]

Terry Bozzio just announced for the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale/Phoenix, August 14.

ETA: MIM's also announced Dick Dale on May 7.

[NogbadTheBad]

Got a ticket for Gogo Penguin playing in Boston in a couple of weeks, sweet.

[soundsound]

Can anyone recommend any concerts this year in the Republic of Ireland as I've just got back from a stint travelling and am keen to get back into my gigs this year? Any big names in the progressive scene touring over here? Thanks.

[-=RTFR666=-]

Seeing the Holy Holy show in Scottsdale AZ tonight, courtesy of friends...

[NogbadTheBad]

Just got a ticket for Snarky Puppy on 5/4

[rapidfirerob]

I'm going to see Marc Bonilla sit in with a group today from 4-6 at The Winslow Center in Pleasant Hill, CA.

[soundsound]

Just got a ticket for Snarky Puppy on 5/4

I'm a fan of Snarky. They're actually playing at the end of July at Dun Laoghaire Harbour in Dublin for the Beatyard festival so I might go to that.

[boilk]

Just got a ticket for Snarky Puppy on 5/4

I'm seriously thinking of going to Buffalo for the May 7th show.

Good gig tonight, a bit too clean and professional for me personally, good energy, placed was packed all standing at least a couple of thousand, suffered like all fusion bands live with setting up the next solo. Good night out.
