Toad the Wet Sprocket
Patchogue · Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E Main St
Read moreRead lessToad the Wet Sprocket brings Rings: The Acoustic Tour with special guest Willy Porter, a fully unplugged evening shaped by the band’s 40th anniversary project, Rings: The Acoustic Sessions. Years of weaving quiet segments into live sets revealed how deeply fans connected with the songs in a more vulnerable setting, which led to an entire tour dedicated to that intimate sound. Formed in Santa Barbara in 1986 by four friends from a high school theater group, the band built a career on independent spirit, from the $600 home-recorded debut Bread & Circus to a major-label breakout. Fear went platinum and introduced radio staples All I Want and Walk on the Ocean, followed by the platinum Dulcinea with Fall Down and Windmills. Their music threaded through pop culture in shows and films such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dawson’s Creek, Empire Records, and the Friends soundtrack. After reuniting in 2006, the group released New Constellation in 2013 and Starting Now in 2021. The new acoustic album revisits favorites across fourteen tracks, emphasizing warmth, honesty, and growth. Reviewers have praised the vitality of the reimagined arrangements and the enduring strength of Glen Phillips’ voice. Rather than simply stripping songs down, the band rebuilt parts and solos so the material thrives in its new form. The result is an intimate celebration of four decades of songwriting and connection.

The songs carry real heft, the rhythms land with force, and the playing always serves the feeling rather than flash. Listeners who have followed them for years can revel in a body of work that endures. Newcomers often leave won over by what sits at the heart of the show... deep chemistry, discerning taste, and true conviction. In a room like The Warehouse, that connection lands just right.

Patchogue · Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E Main St
Read moreRead lessAt Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts in Patchogue, NY, part one of Zebra Weekend showcases Zebra’s 50th Anniversary Tour, with special guests Midnight Sun performing music by Led Zeppelin. Formed in 1975 in New Orleans, the band has stayed together for nearly five decades, continuing to evolve while drawing devoted listeners and new fans. Original members Randy Jackson, Felix Hanemann, and Guy Gelso remain at the helm. Rising from a reputation as a powerhouse cover act in the New Orleans bar scene, Zebra moved into the Long Island club circuit to be closer to major studios and labels. Years of relentless gigging, sometimes reaching 250 shows annually, produced two demo tapes that earned airplay on WBAB-FM in New York and WRNO-FM in New Orleans, notably for “Who’s Behind the Door?” Their momentum led to a 1982 signing with Atlantic Records. The self-titled debut, produced by Jack Douglas, went gold and became the label’s quickest selling debut, moving more than 75,000 copies in its first week, spending eight months on the Billboard charts, and peaking at number 29. Extensive touring followed, along with three studio albums, a live album, and a best-of collection, and a new release is underway to mark the 50th year. This concert highlights a milestone for a band committed to keeping classic rock alive, complemented by a Led Zeppelin set from Midnight Sun.

Caravan of Thieves • Fairfield, CT • StageOne
Fairfield · StageOne, 70 Sanford St
Read moreRead lessCaravan of Thieves brings its high-spirited acoustic spectacle to StageOne in Fairfield, CT, led by Fuzz and Carrie, the singing, strumming duo who launched the project in 2008. Their sound draws from big band swing, the gypsy jazz lineage of Django Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France, touches of absurd and macabre theater, and early American folk. The music grew from those first songs to include upright bass and violin, with accordion appearing at times and other collaborators joining along the way. Early momentum led to the debut album Bouquet in 2009 and to appearances alongside artists such as Emmylou Harris, Dan Hicks, The Decemberists, Keb Mo, Tom Tom Club, Iron and Wine, Shemekia Copeland, Punch Brothers, Robert Cray and John Jorgenson, resonating with listeners across folk, pop, rock and jazz. Releases that followed, including Mischief Night in 2010, The Funhouse in 2012 and Kiss Kiss in 2015, showcased their growth as producers, writers and arrangers while widening the mix of styles, instruments and guests. In concert the music shifts from intimate acoustic duets to lively junk percussion and big crowd stomp, clap and sing along moments, all carried by the spontaneous street-performer spark that shaped their early days. They emphasize engaging the audience and collaborating with a broad community of artists, keeping the work vibrant and alive. Over more than fifteen years and travels through several countries, the band and its family of “Freaks” have grown together, with each performance adding a new layer to the story.
