October is quickly rolling to a close, but not without the excitement of the Phil-O-Ween residency at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.

The legendary Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY is celebrating its 10 year anniversary of reopening under Peter Shapiro’s ownership this fall. Today, the venue announced the kickoff of CAP10 season kicks with two sold-out shows from The Avett Brothers on August 27 & 28, continuing revelries through the end of 2022 with Ben Folds, The National, Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, ZZ Top, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Rick Springfield, Lindsey Buckingham & nine nights with Grateful Dead co-founder Phil Lesh.

East Coast folks, the place to be celebrating Jerry Garcia's 80th birthday on August 1 is the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, where DJ Jonathan Healey creates an immersive psychedelic dance experience drawn from Jerry's multi-decade career with the Grateful Dead and beyond. Meanwhile, in Garcia's, the Stella Blue's Band will be playing live.

The Disco Biscuits descended into the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY for night two of their rescheduled three night run from March 2020 last Friday, and unfurled a set list of fan favorites, covers and rarities to celebrate guitarist Jon "The Barber" Gutwillig's birthday. Their characteristic blend of jamtronica music was fueled by Gutwillig's guitar driven jamming this evening, and included a first time played Dead cover.

In celebration of his 82nd birthday, Phil Lesh and The Capitol Theatre are gifting fans with the news that Lesh and his “Friends” are playing a 9-night extended October residency to celebrate Phil-o-Ween. The shows take place October 14 - 16, October 21 - 23, and October 28, 29, and 31. These residency shows will mark Phil's 100 show anniversary with The Cap, since 2012.

Hot Tuna at the Capitol Theatre, December 4th, 2021, this is the second rescheduled date for a performance that was originally set to be played in July 2020. Now it's a year and a half later and that's a lot of time for anticipation. Almost like my first concert, I still get the pre-show jitters. We've seen this band dozens of times, add in the fifty plus free Quarantine Concerts live from the Fur Peace Ranch and there has been a lot of great music to enjoy.

Billy Strings Deja Vu Experiment at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on 2/20/21 was one of a series of six shows that was truly unlike any show I’ve ever experienced.  Things are changing so here is a review like I’ve never written:
