New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Davis Concert Staging) Davis Concert Staging, Inc. (DCS), the non-profit promoter, is collaborating with internet radio upstart, Gashouse Radio, as well as The Hard Rock Cafe to produce a live event which will take place at The Hard Rock Cafe's Center City, Philadelphia location (1113-31 Market Street) on March 15, 2011. The event will be recorded by mSOUND Studios of Philadelphia and will be available for download completely free of charge. Those interested in purchasing the recording will simply have to provide their email address to gain access to the digital download. Admission to the show is free of charge and is open to all ages.
This unique opportunity for emerging artists is the first in a series of shows called The Gashouse Sessions. The first show, held on March 15, will feature local artists such as On Display, Joey Harkum (of Pasadena), and Tsunami Rising. Patrons are encouraged to arrive early as The Hard Rock Cafe is expecting a packed house. The show is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m.
"We're excited to help produce such a unique opportunity for these bands in which the fans are invited to enjoy a free show and the album will later be distributed for free to anyone who is interested. We're also working to bring more people in general into The Hard Rock [Cafe] for live music events, so ultimately, it's a win for everyone involved" says Ben Davis, President of DCS.
DCS produces shows at The Hard Rock Cafe every Tuesday and Friday night with increasing success since
September 2010. The non-profit aims to keep admission low to patrons (usually $5 to $7) and have maintained an all ages policy since
September - even on weekend shows. Most recently, DCS produced a sold-out show on February 18, 2011 that featured Tayyib Ali and Hoodie Allen.
The Gashouse Sessions will be available for download from the DCS website (www.davisconcertstaging.org) as well as the Gashouse
Radio website (www.gashouseradio.com). The event will also be broadcasted live over the internet via Gashouse Radio.
Bands interested in performing at a Gashouse Session in the future, should feel free to contact Ben Davis via DCS' website: www.davisconcertstaging.org.
