"Wild" is a 6-song musical journey featuring everything from a heart-pounding love song dedicated to Nashville's hottest queer bar to what might be the most joyful and liberating break-up song you'll ever hear. The album peaks with a homage to gay musicians who inspired the band, evolving into its own queer anthem guaranteed to get you dancing and leave you humming, "I think that I just got more gay."Kyle's bond with the band dates back to 2021 when she chronicled the sonic soul sisters' Nashville debut in a rockumentary podcast, capturing the besties as they performed, rehearsed, and prepped for shows. This follow-up video podcast offers a glimpse into the band's musical evolution as both artists and humans. While their lyrics now embrace same-sex pronouns, 76th Street's core message remains unwavering: strength, independence, and radical self-love. Their friendship has also evolved, now bearing a new title: platonic wives!Listen to Wild in its entirety on Spotify:Listen to Club Remix of “Girl” by ZKYBuy “I Think that I just Got More Gay” Tshirthttps://www.76thstreetofficial.com/shopListen to the Rockumentary Podcast feat. 76Th Street's origin story https://concertcast.live/checkcheck.htmlFollow 76th Street on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/76thstreet/Follow Kyle Lamont on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/kyle_lamont/Subscribe to Concert Cast on Applehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-cast-rockumentary-podcasts-exploring-concert/id1437457725Subscribe to Concert Cast on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0PVDaLUyesfaW2nPZxbzgh?si=eeda2f0b8cd24e9b Concert Cast: A Woman-Owned Rockumentary Podcast NetworkCreated and hosted by Kyle Lamont, Concert Cast explores Concert Culture through energetic music journalism.

Hi, I'm Kyle Lamont, your host and wow, I had the incredible opportunity to spend time with Lena, the lead singer of GoldenOak, in her cozy she-shed as she prepared for her headlining performance at the Under the Oaks Music Festival in Western Maine. Known for her unique and stylish outfits, Lena walked me through her pre-show routine, sharing intimate details of how her fashion choices intertwine with her music. But it wasn't all serious - we had laugh-out-loud moments too, even roasting band members' outfits.The experience was part of a two-day camping festival where I wandered through the woods on a mushroom foraging adventure along the Sandy River and joined fellow festival-goers for a pancake breakfast served by the band. Throughout the episode, I leaned into my curiosity about how fashion, music, and location influence each other, bringing in voices from fans who shared their thoughts on this fascinating interplay.I invite you to push play on "Let's Go Festival," a podcast series on ConcertCast.live that transports you to community-focused music events, offering an intimate look at the intersection of music and culture.Subscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on Spotify PodcastsFollow Kyle Lamont on InstagramFollow GoldenOak on InstagramThank you for listening!

What began as a standard interview with Austin City Limits photographer Scott Newton, exploring his past and infamous concert shots, evolved into something unexpectedly profound. As our conversation unfolded, I found myself disarmed by Scott's wisdom, opening up about my own creative process and doubts behind a fan music video I directed. The video, set to the song "Sea of the Edge" by Austin-based band The Bright Light Social Hour, became a case study for our discussion on artistic challenges and growth. What followed was an inspirational pep talk I never knew I needed. Scott's words are deeply moving and motivational, and I hope they resonate with you as powerfully as they did with me.I'm Kyle Lamont, host of Concert Cast.

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. They were written and performed by Will Sartain. Produced by Kilby Records and Exumbrella Records. Body Language was performed by Monotonix and produced by Drag City Records. And Exceptional Whore is by Vile Blue Shades recorded at the Urban Lounge.

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/
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.2023 Lineup of musical memories2023's lineup is Griffin Sherry from the Ghost of Paul Revere, The Wolff Sisters, King Kyote, the Adam Ezra Group, and so many more folks.

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. When you are on the other side of this episode, we hope you'll be inspired to turn off your overly-played favorites and listen for something new.
The rise of concert culture in Phoenix has changed its identity from a layover town to a live music destination.

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.

Season 2: Concert Culture in the time of COVID The State Theater in Portland, Maine has opened its doors to Conclave, a live streaming concert series. It’s not bringing in the same kind of revenue as they did before with live shows, and it’s probably not covering their actual operating costs - but it is a way for musicians and technical crews in Portland to keep working on projects they love somehow, bringing live music to people in their homes. In this episode, Lamont meets via Zoom with Angelikah Fahray, and R&B singer/songwriter who delivered a spell-binding performance to the empty theatre. With her bandmate Bill Giordano and producer Joshua James Hand of Bird Theory, a company now producing these live streams expertly - to talk about how they’re keeping the music alive. Listen to go behind the scenes of a finely tuned live musical broadcast, and to take a look at how you can support your favorite venues - because they’re at risk of dying off because of the pandemic.
