Norfolk CT, Northampton MA

There's a brand spankin' new venue in Norfolk CT that will become legendary.  It's Infinity Hall, a beautifully restored theater/ballroom type venue with great acoustics, a restaurant downstairs, and a killer sound system.  The whole thing was built with the musician in mind, in the hopes that artists who play there will pass the word on that it's the destination to play in the area.  There's not much else happening around there, as Norfolk is way out there in the middle of nowheresville.  Very cool place to have or to see a show.  Meyer PA (CQs plus subs and front fills), a Yamaha MC7L, and QSC HPR wedges.  The hall was too dimly lit for my pictures to come out very well, so imagine a beautiful place or check out their web site if you want to see better pictures of the place.  Tell your friends...

The next night was at The Iron Horse in Northampton MA.

A bit of a dive, but a favorite of artists and fans alike.  A Soundcraft K2 out front, decent outboard choices, and a funky PA consisting of all Technomad boxes.  Just in case it starts raining inside the club, these speaker enclosures are 100 percent waterproof and look like military grade pelican cases.  Turns out they sound okay too.  Northampton itself was worth checking out too, a smallish touristy type downtown area just chock full of college types on a sunny day.  A mecca for the crunchy granola liberal birkenstock-wearin' patchouli-reekin', well, you get the idea...
