If you haven’t done so yet, check out the new Back Stage Concert Series website, where there’s a couple of videos locked and loaded for your audio/visual enjoyment.

The series will bring you into the Theatre through “the wings” and onto its giant stage for concerts book-ended by an old brick wall on one side and the velvet curtain on the other, creating an intimate, awesomely lit space of its own. The event is open to all ages, but a small bar will be serving beer, wine, and soda. Taking the stage about once a month will be exclusively local talent the likes of The Jaggernauts, Drunk Drivers, Meridene, Laarks, The Excellent Adventure, South Farwell, Jim Pullman Band, QuinnElizabeth, and more. (We co-developed the new series with The State Theatre)

This first one couples bluegrassers New North String Band and backwater indie-rockers The Gentle Guest on October 15. If your mental picture of this series is still a bit vague, just check out the aforementioned website and watch the videos showcasing live performances – produced by local outfits Sitepro and DMI Sound. You can also check out audio tracks, a complete concert schedule, and more.
