Where can you find some of the tri-state area's most amazing talent? Well, for starters, try Wednesday evenings beginning at 7pm est. on the banks of the Delaware River at Trenton's own KATMANDU.
LANCE REICHERT does a simply phenomenal job of assembling some of the finest musicians to ever grace a stage. The talent pool runs deep and Lance has the uncanny ability to catch the best of the best!
The "Indie Singer/Songwriter Acoustic Showcase" is also a networking event for musicians, promoters, PR people, and those who just want to hear incredible music and/or get to know some of their favorite Indie artists better.
Beginning June 9th and almost every Wednesday evening thereafter; the showcase will take place (weather permitting) outside on the spacious deck at "The Kat." The deck offers two stages, a great view of the river, and a fantastic atmosphere to listen to the music of up to fifteen different artists. There are drink specials, an open kitchen and plenty of available seating that all adds to the enjoyment of the showcase.
Fast becoming one of the area's premier music events; this showcase has a little something for everyone. There are acts that are young, old and somewhere inbetween; in short, there's a great chance that no matter who you are, or what your age bracket, you WILL find something that suits your listening pleasure. The weekly bill is filled with multiple acts, however there is only one "featured act" per show. Recent featured acts have been KEITH MONACCHIO and SHAUN RUYMEN to name just two. Local performers who attend are KELLY CARVIN, PETE NAGY, FAST ANT and also 15 keys to name a few. Some not so local include ASTRONAUT JONES, LAURA CRISCI, PATTY BLEE, NORMAN TAYLOR, JO WYMER, and DALE LAKATA. Once on stage, each performer gets a 3-4 song set, depending on how many artist are on the bill that evening. This short set list ensures that every performer is using the best of their best material.
I can honestly say that I have never been to one of these events and walked away disappointed at the quality of the entertainment. I can't say enough good things about the job that Lance does here week in and week out. This showcase requires much effort and energy and he handles it with TOP NOTCH ability! Please check out the website at www.qbdigital.com/indie/events.htm for a complete line-up of upcoming shows. There is also a you tube site at www.youtube/user/katmanduacoustic where you can see all of the recent artists performances. Look closely, that guy doing percussion on several of them may look familiar to you....
