    On May 23rd, I saw an Allman Brothers Tribute Band, Trouble No More, play The Big Kahuna in Huntington.  The band was spot on, hitting every single note in perfect harmony.  If you closed your eyes you could see yourself at a real Allman Brothers concert from back in the day.  Trouble No More set the mood for a night of art, dancing, and fun for all.

    N5en90xelOJdefLl5BZuCsytWISk0Bv-n6jFyMgvnwqr8RNtBj6wwOOzX8mcnlycsyOyIA=w1116-h692Their two guitarists were equally impressive, both being able to trade signature Allman Brothers licks and harmonize together with ease.  While it’s easy to talk all about guitars in an Allman Brothers tribute, the rhythm section of bass, drums, and keyboards were keeping it rock solid all night.  You could instantly tell these guys were very experienced with what they do.  I just wished they smiled a little more.  I couldn’t tell if these guys kept a stern face because they were trying to go for the “I’m too cool to smile” look, or they’ve been playing these songs for so long that it’s become boring to them.

    Dc97q5KIMvn2LOdaMTGemi56HVv4ou74_dOaXJhXE68O2VovcO3muJO_w5lY4EwaUOt1KA=w1116-h692Most venues consider the band be the show, the band only told half the story of the night.  Rich Rivkin’s events also double as a Long Island artists community gathering.  It’s an open door, all are welcome event for all artists.  Painters, sketchers, and wearable art (art inspired clothing) all came together on this night in a “Bring Your Own Art” event.  Some artists used the band and the venue to draw inspiration, others had models, and some just used the event as an excuse to finish an existing painting.
