Local bands rock the main stage once again – The Release, Bones & A Curtis Rhythm, and 14th Union (photos soon…)
Hello!
We had an incredible show this past Saturday night at the Main Stage with The Release, Bones & A Curtis Rhythm, and young newcomers 14th Union. The whole show was an awesome display of talented young musicians and songwriters, with nearly every song performed being an original. We were quite honored to have The Release – who were performing at School’s Out for the 3rd consecutive year – perform a set almost entirely filled with never-before-performed songs that they will be recording this fall. We’ve worked with, and been fans of, The Release for quite a while now and it was a great pleasure for us to help them debut some new material (check out their next show Thursday 7/22 at TT the Bear’s in Cambridge).
Bones have also played at our series for 3 years in a row now. They actually played one of the first few shows ever at the concert series, but under their original moniker “Brewster”, funnily enough. Then they briefly changed their name to Glasstronaut, and right before Schoolhouse Rock 2009, they adopted Bones & A Curtis Rhythm.
14th Union is a great young band with a ton of promise. These three 13 and 14 year olds busted out a 40-minute set of ALL originals. That’s hard for any band to do that’s only been together for around a year, let alone young kids. So kudos to those guys, I’m sure we’ll be seeing and hearing them for years to come.
It was an all-around great show, and we can’t wait for the next one on Saturday July 24 at the main stage, which features Spitalfield frontman Mark Rose, and newly-signed-to-Atlantic-Records, Camera Can’t Lie. Stay tuned for a post on that – for now check the schedule!
Til next time, keep rockin’.
