CLUBBING

Hardwick Winery offers residency to Rosie Porter and the Neon Moons

E

VERY ONCE IN A while, you run across a band that is doing something different — even if they are doing nothing really new.

In this case, I’m talking about Rosie Porter and the Neon Moons, a local combo who eschew the trappings of hip indie rock or twee catchy pop and instead mine the deep veins of gold that occupy traditional old-time country music.

And if you’ve never got a chance to see them, you’ll have plenty of opportunities over the summer and beyond, largely at the Hardwick Winery, where the band will be doing a monthly residency until the end of the year.

The shows will be on July 7, Aug. 18, Sept. 1, Oct. 5, Oct. 13, Nov. 2 and Dec. 7.

The band’s namesake hails from Greenfield and has been pursuing music her entire life as a performer, musician, and songwriter. There is more than a hint of classic acts such as Patsy Cline and

Kitty Wells in her music, but she definitely carves out her own sound with her band.

While the group is fairly young, it also includes veteran Doug Beaumier on pedal steel guitar, a rare treat to hear around these parts.

While the group plays its own material, it also covers tunes from the golden era of country music that includes a sampling of everything from honky-tonk to outlaw country. And while their sound would be just as great even if they showed up dressed like members of Gwar, the band also takes its visual stage presence seriously, wearing signature C&W-style clothes to complete the package.

The Neon Moons have also begun recording an album of Rosie’s songs.

Before the Hardwick Winery residency starts, you can also catch the band at the Dream Away Lodge (1342 Country Road) in Beckett on Saturday. The Hardwick Winery is at 3305 Greenwich Road in Hardwick.

Scouting report • Sierra Grille’s “Reanimate the Bay State” series will have a great show as Land, Man, Frost Heaves, and Starbird Bow play there today. Land, Man plays country-tinged indie rock. The Frost Heaves mine psych pop.

Starbird Bow plays what they describe as “yacht prog-pop.”

Sierra Grille is at 41 Strong Ave. in Northampton.

• Arno and the Lowdown will play the Theodores’ stage on Saturday. The band plays great rock tunes that no one else usually covers (putting their own spin on them), modern songs as well as some original material.

Theodores’ is at 201 Worthington St. in Springfield.

“Each group performs for about 20 minutes, but The Turtles are on longer for about 30 minutes. There is no emcee, but a well-known DJ has pre-recorded introductions for each of us. For the show’s finale, we each come back out on stage to do a few bars of one of our popular songs again,” said Carl Giammarese, a founding member of The Buckinghams.

In order of appearance, The Cowsills come out on stage first to perform followed by The Classics IV, then The Buckinghams. After a short intermission, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap sing their hits followed by Check Negron, formerly of Three Dog Night.

dous and the response great, and I’m told the tour is pretty much sold out. I have friends and family who can’t even get tickets,” laughed Giammarese.

He noted The Buckinghams’ popularity, as well as that of the other groups on the tour, stems from a number of reasons.

“It’s the baby boomers.

There were a lot of people back in the day who were into our music. But, I have to point out that it was also the fact that these are great songs, very melodic and memorable with so much meaning to them. For many, these songs were the fabric of their lives. We have many fans who have told us that a particular song brings

back memories of when they broke up with a girlfriend or when they got engaged, and some have told us they listened to our music while serving in Vietnam,” Giammarese said.

There will be horse-drawn wagon rides, a bounce house and story time and activities.

The Taste of Amherst is organized by the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce and the Amherst Business Improvement District.

“Over the years, the Taste has grown. Now, Amherst-area restaurants participate in the event, showcasing some of the area’s favorite food,” Pazmany said, adding that at the beer and wine tent there will be beer and wine on Friday and Saturday evenings.

One third of the proceeds from the event will be donated to two local nonprofit organizations: CHD’s Not Bread Alone, a community meal program in downtown Amherst that recently announced a struggle due to a loss of major funding; and Reader-to-Reader, dedicated to bringing books, free of charge, to under-resourced school libraries and public libraries throughout the region.

“When you partner with the Taste, you are also committing to do good in the com-

munity, and we know that is important to our community as a whole,” Pazmany said.

The Taste will take place rain or shine; it is free to attend, and all of the items served are $5 or less. It’s “an amazing deal when you think about all the types of food available and the amazing music lineup this year,” Tweedy said.

The Buckinghams, who officially disbanded in 1970, had a chain of Top 10 singles and in 1967, Cash Box magazine named them the “Most Promising Vocal Group in America,” turning out hits like

our music again, so we ended up back on the road playing festivals and fairs and other venues,” Giammarese said.

Asked about The Buckinghams’ impact on the music scene, Giammarese was modest in his answer.

“To really put it in perspective, we didn’t have the same impact of some of the really big groups like The Beatles. Still, we did make our mark and I’d call it a ‘fairly big impact.’

You know, Billboard Magazine in 1967 called us “The Most Listened To Band in America.”

We were a pop group who had million-seller songs and the way we used the horns was innovative for the time. So, I believe we had an impact on the sound of some other groups who followed us. Otherwise, we weren’t really doing anything different musically, just making good records,” he said.

Fans and collectors alike will want to stop by a merchandise table at Sunday’s show where some of the groups will be selling pre-signed photographs and newly-recorded compact discs alongside some original releases.

HOUGH FATHER’S Day is associated in the public imagination with pipes, slippers, and perhaps a backyard cookout, in reality the June celebration is, according to the National Restaurant Association, among the Top 5 busiest dining out days of the year, exceeded only by Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. The NRA’s research determined that dinner was the most popular of Father’s Day meal occasions, with customers most often choosing Dad’s favorite eatery as the family’s dining out destination.

Father’s Day is a particularly popular occasion for Hispanic diners; data gathered

by Technomic, a consumer research firm that specializes in the food service industry, indicates that more than 50% percent of Hispanic families will choose to dine out on dad’s special day.

Creating marketing buzz for Father’s Day can be a challenge for restaurant operators since, unlike Valentine’s Day or New Year’s Eve, the occasion doesn’t have particularly strong dining out themes associated with it.

Nonetheless, a number of area dining destinations have come up with special ways to honor Dad for all he does.

The Mohegan Sun Resort Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, is ready to treat Dad to a day of drinks and dining specials on Sunday.

TAP Sports Bar offers causal dining with lively atmosphere

T

AP SPORTS BAR IS MGM Springfield’s answer to casual dining.

In a spectrum of options that runs the gamut from the fast food South End Market food court to the fine dining Chandler Steakhouse, TAP offers casinogoers a full menu and full service in a lively atmosphere that includes everything from an arcade to a bowling alley.

The expansive space also includes large, high-top tables that can seat parties of up to 10, standard table seating, and a large central bar. The decor at TAP is an interesting combination of vintage, urban and sports bar, with more than a dozen large screen televisions hanging from its retro tin ceiling and brick walls.

Living up to its Sports Bar moniker, TAP offers an extensive beverage menu with a heavy focus on beer. There are over 40 drafts available in sizes ranging from samplers on up to a mighty one liter pour, as well as a similar number of canned and bottled mainstream and craft beers. An impressive number of signature cocktails includes the Stella Artois laced Belgian Mojito featuring Bacardi Superior, fresh mint, hand-pressed lime and simple syrup; and their namesake Manhattan featuring local Berkshire Mountain Bourbon. Wine selections are far more limited, with 10 or so vintages offered both by the glass and bottle.

Appetizers make up a substantial part of the menu at TAP, and our booth’s location afforded us a clear view of a nonstop parade of starters headed to tables from the kitchen. The Giant Pretzel ($12) was certainly showy as it passed by swaying on its metal hook, but we were more wooed by the towering platter of Beer Cheese Nachos ($12), and the Rhode Island Style Calamari ($13) in its on-trend cast iron skillet.

When it comes to entrees, TAP has followed suit with MGM’s New England theme with its inclusion of a Lobster Roll ($23) available in hot or cold variations. Another member of the ‘Sandwich Stadium’ that hits close to home is the Kielbasa Dog ($15) made with Chicopee’s own Blue Seal Kielbasa and topped with baked beans and bacon. In the Signature Burger category, the Armory Burger ($16) is topped with crispy onions, bacon, cheddar and BBQ sauce and is named after the gothic State Armory building that now houses MGM’s ROAR Comedy Club.

All sandwiches and burgers come with fries, or diners can upgrade to Onion Rings or Sweet Potato Fries for $2.

The lobster lover in our party ordered the hot version of the classic summertime roll and was dismayed to find that my Fish and Chips ($17) far outshined his big-ticket sandwich. The crispy haddock was perfectly breaded and fried, and surely fresh not frozen. We could not say the same for the lobster as we were underwhelmed by the small pieces of claw and tail meat with their barely-there brush of butter and unremarkable roll.

Our friend’s Hall of Fame Burger ($15) was a big hit, with its two juicy burgers, cheddar and sweet pickles topped with Burger Sauce.

Every element of the burger worked toward creating what was a successful upscale version of the Golden Arches’ fast food classic, right down to the bun complete with white and black sesame seeds.

Offering creative bar food and all of the amenities of a stand-alone entertainment venue, TAP will please those looking for a casual dining option whose lively atmosphere rivals that of the casino floor outside its doors.

RENCH ROSE WINES under $10. That’s it.

That’s the focus of this week’s wine column.

Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just a few recommendations for some of my favorite wines in the world.

In general, I’m a huge fan of rose wines from France’s Provence region. And that was even before I visited several outstanding wineries in Provence last year.

But other parts of France also produce great rose wines.

And as the weather finally warms up and summer starts to kick into full gear, there’s nothing I love more than a nice, chilled glass of dry rose wine on a hot summer afternoon or evening.

And I’m not the only one. In recent years, rose wines – especially from Provence – have become increasingly popular around the world and especially in the United States.

Sales have been booming here in recent years.

Not surprisingly, the price of some of rose wines has started to climb higher. Fortunately, you can still find many bargains when it comes to rose wines. So without further ado, here are six French roses that all cost less then $10 a bottle.

And let me add I enjoyed all

WHY IS ROSE WINE PINK? I’m not going to get into a lot of technical stuff this week but I thought some of you might be curious about why rose wines are pink. It’s a legitimate question since many rose wines are made

with the same grapes used to make red wines. So what’s the difference? It’s all in the timing. The longer you leave the grape skins to ferment with the grape juice, the more colorful the wine. As a result, the grape skins often only come into contact with the grape juice when making rose wines. In contrast, the grape

skins are often left in much longer when making Red wines using the exact same grapes. There are often other differences when it comes to making rose and red wines but that’s a whole different story for another day.

Florida brewery offers six-pack ring to save aquatic sea life

T

HIS IS AN IDEA that’s near and dear to my heart. Even more than I like beer, I am a big animal lover and advocate for doing what we can to preserve other creatures health and happiness on this planet.

So when a brewery does something great in this area, it’s a double win in my eyes.

I recently read about a Florida brewery that has come up with an innovative and brilliant solution to the problem of plastic pollution that has threatened a lot of marine life and birds over the years.

One type of plastic that ends up in the ocean, unfortunately, are the plastic six-pack rings that hold a six-pack together. Well, Saltwater Brewing, based in Delray

The way it works is this: the brewery’s barley byproducts, which are often discarded or given to farmers to feed cattle by breweries, are instead compressed and molded into a durable material that is used for the six-pack rings.
