Immediately following the Bob Dylan show at State College’s Medlar Field this past Sunday night, there was a very special benefit at the Phyrst in downtown State College. Shelter from the Storm, an all-star local band comprised of members of The Nightcrawlers, The Rustlanders, Ted McCloskey and the Hi-Fis, Maxwell Strait, Natalie Berrena, Dennis Fallon, Scott Mangene and many more did an entire night of Dylan songs; to raise money for the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund, providing much needed support to the musicians who embody the city that was so tragically torn apart a year ago by Hurricane Katrina.
What is going on with area 80’s hair-band rockers Hair Force One? Visitors to the group’s website this past week were greeted with a picture of a tombstone with the Hair Force One logo marked on it. The group has experienced some recent personnel moves. More on this story as it develops.
Former State College-turned-Pittsburgh progressive rockers Kairos have a new rhythm section, after drummer Drew Rodaniche and bassist Shar Sturm departed the band to pursue other career paths. Returning to play bass is Kairos’ original bass player, Dominic Misja, while Scranton transplant Jason Macheska takes over drum duties. The updated Kairos line-up plans to return to live stages shortly.
