Opening up new avenues for creativity on a quantum scale, Bob Moog was a musical and electronic genius. His understanding of the fundamental physiology of sound and electricity enabled him to time and time again, push back the boundaries of what was previously science fiction to become reality in the form of his circuits of vacuum tubes and later on with semiconductor transistors embedded in the many pioneering devices his company developed over the course of over half a century.
MoogFest, an electronic music festival dedicated to the life achievements and contributions of Bob Moog has moved from NYC and is taking place this year in Asheville, North Carolina over Halloween weekend - October 29-31, 2010. The indoor festival is going to be held at several locations throughout downtown Asheville. MoogFest be held primarily at the Asheville Civic Center and the adjoining Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.

MoogFest announcement from Emmy Parker, Moog Music:
The first recipient of the Moog Innovation Award is DEVO and we feel that they are a perfect representation of innovative sound-sculpting and genre-defying electronic music. Like Bob Moog, DEVO enthusiastically charted their own course and thus dramatically affected pop culture because of it. Not to mention the fact that they used Moog instruments to create their inimitable sound. MoogFest and the Moog Innovation Award is the perfect way to pay homage to Bob Moog and his adopted hometown of Asheville, NC where he raised his kids, gave birth to some of his greatest inventions and where he re-established the company that bears his name and carries on his legacy, Moog Music.

Joan Osborne 8-23-2010
Words and Concert Photos by Don McGurrin
Singer Joan Osborne and pianist Keith Cotton were the first act to play at the Ephrata Main Theater as a performance venue. There is not a bad seat in the 193 seat theater/movie house. The owner's (Steve and Karen Brown) of Lily's on Main Street in Epharta, PA recently took over the theater. After deciding that they would like to have live music there they brought in long time friend Richard Ruoff (former owner of the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA) in to do the booking. Joan Osborne last played at the Chameleon Club some 15 years ago and was excited to be coming back. Guest Carsie Blanton open the show.

Stockholm Syndrome Band Tour Dates
Stockholm Syndrome is starting an east coast fall tour on September 1 in Athens, Georgia at the 40 Watt club. The all star band features Dave Schools, Wally Ingram, Jerry Joseph and Eric McFadden.
Stockholm Syndrome will also be performing in Atlanta, Asheville, Charleston, Wilmington, Raleigh, West Chester, PA, Richmond, Baltimore and finish the tour on September 12 in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Bowl.
It is rare to get to see Stockholm Syndrome because the band members are committed to other bands with heavy touring schedules. Dave Schools is the bassist for Widespread Panic and Jerry Joseph is with the Jackmoromons, Wally Ingram and Eric McFadden both perform with several other bands so collectively scheduling time for Stockholm Syndrome to tour is a challenge.
If you can't make any of Stockholm Syndrome's tour dates you can catch them on Jamcruise in early January and soak up some sun.
Update: Stockholm Syndrome performed on September 3, 2010 at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC -
Stockholm Syndrome brought out great crowd which would have been bigger if there wasn't a bunch of major bands performing in Asheville that night. Jerry Joseph was in a good mood talking to the crowd and smiling. Stockholm Syndrome is working on a second album to release. Stockholm Syndrome performed with Eric McFadden, Jerry Joseph, Dave Schools and Wally Ingram and without Danny Louis. The band rocked a heavy show. Lights and smoke on the stage were well run and made it a great photo opportunity.
