Jazz Festival announces 2016 lineup

Posted By on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 4:00 AM

The Rochester International Jazz Festival today announced new details and the full lineup of its 2016 festival, including 235 shows in its Club Pass series, six headliner shows, and a record 99 free shows and events. The festival's 15th edition will take place June 24 through July 2 in Rochester's East End.

Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue was announced as the festival's final headliner, performing a free show on Saturday, July 2, at 9 p.m., on a new City of Rochester Midtown stage, located in the Midtown redevelopment site. Trombone Shorty joins previously announced headliners Chick Corea with Joey Alexander, Chris Botti, Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers, Gregg Allman, Erykah Badu, and Grace Potter.

Other free shows include Fitz & The Tantrums (Friday, June 24), Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen (Saturday, June 25), Los Lonely Boys (Friday, July 1), and The Wood Brothers (Saturday, July 2), all performing on the East Avenue and Chestnut Street stage.

Additions and changes to this year's festival include a new "Oh, Canada!" series at The Rochester Club featuring bands and performers from across Canada; the Squeezers Stage will now be located at Anthology Music Hall (336 East Avenue); a 3-day Club Pass option is available; and a line process will be implemented to reduce wait times at Kilbourn Hall and Max of Eastman Place.

In the first price increase in eight years, admission to Club Pass venues at the door will be raised to $30, and $35 for Kilbourn Hall.

Club Passes and tickets for headliners are available online at rochesterjazz.com, or by calling 454-2060. The Festival Ticket Shop will open in early June at the corner of East Avenue and Gibbs Street. The 9-day Club Pass is $204 (plus service charges); the 3-day Club Pass, which offers access to shows on any three days of choice, is $154 (plus service charges).

Lilac Fest announces first half of music lineup

Posted By on Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 4:00 AM

Breathe deep. Do you smell that? It’s the smell of fear. The fear of a Trump planet. But soon it’ll be the 118th edition of the Lilac Festival (Friday, May 6, through Sunday, May 15) time again for the smell of lilacs to assuage the panic we are all currently experiencing.

And that means plenty of music. Lilac Festival bigwigs spilled the names of half the headliners -- the other half along with local bands will be announced the first week in April.

This year’s lineup includes:

May 7: The Sheepdogs -- Southern rock from Canada, if that makes any sense.

May 8: Los Straitjackets -- surfing Luchadores featuring Rochester’s Greg Townson.

May 8: NRBQ -- the godfathers of roots-rock who puree all the sub roots with rock’s sub strata. Angular, obtuse, weird, and fun.

May 9: Gaelic Storm -- Augmented traditional Irish music as if performed by Deadheads.

May 10: Matisyahu -- The dude raps and sings in Yiddish ... Yiddish!

May 11: Eilen Jewell -- sawdust floor honky-tonk and Americana sung by an angel flying to close to the ground.

May 12: Rusted Root -- kings of the jam band circuit ... and the Lilac Festival.

Water Street Music Hall denied license renewal

Posted By on Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 12:41 PM

Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli has notified the Water Street Music that it must stop hosting events immediately. The popular live music venue, located at 204 North Water Street, was denied renewal of its entertainment license, because "there are justifiable concerns" regarding its ability to operate in compliance with all State and Local laws," Ciminelli wrote.

The letter listed eight points of violation of the Code of the City of Rochester and the Police Chief's Rules and Regulations. These include "failure to maintain control of the premise" on March 14, 2015, when shots were fired in the area of the establishment and "nearly struck a person standing in front of the venue," and failure to maintain control again on June 15, 2015, when a male standing in front of the venue "refused to comply with police orders to disperse and became combative with police, resulting in an arrest for disorderly conduct." The counts of violations continue through February 27 of this year.

Water Street Music Hall - one of Rochester's only mid-sized music venues, capable of hosting 1,000 patrons - has hosted a wide range of musical acts, including St. Vincent, The Buddhahood, and YoGotti. It has also been the venue for numerous benefit concerts. But it has been plagued with shifts in management and booking over the past couple of years.

Water Street's owners may appeal by responding to the letter within 10 days of receipt (the police chief's letter was dated March 1). The venue's previous entertainment license expired on January 31, 2016, and thus it is currently unable to host any public events.
