Everclear

Everclear was at Kegs Canal Side in Jordan, NY, 7/27/23. Wow, what a show. Everclear is well known to most rock fans, and most would know that they were on one of the biggest stages of their careers. “Woodstock 99” took place in Rome, NY, and just as he did then, he does now. Art still gives it his all and doesn’t care what size crowd is there to watch his performance. He even told Jordan, NY that they were louder than Binghamton, NY. He said he just loves the vibe of the old town venues, and this one is just beautiful. And he’s right; Kegs hosts many shows each year. Yes, most being country, they would never turn away a chance to entertain the rock scene as well.

The American rock band “Everclear” formed in the early 90’s &, and roughly 33 years later still touring and doing what they love. Alexakis tells the crowd that, other than his guitar player who has been with him the longest, the other members have moved on. The band is led by Art Alexakis, the vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter. Still has what it takes to move around the stage and put on a great show. Told the fans that he has multiple sclerosis and it won't keep him from doing what he loves. And he’s still so glad his mom bought him that guitar back when he was in his teens. And it's really how he began doing what he does.

Everclear gained mainstream success in the 1990s with hit songs like "Santa Monica," "Father of Mine," and "Wonderful." Their music often explores personal and emotional themes, resonating with listeners through raw and introspective lyrics. With their energetic performances and a sound that encompasses elements of alternative rock, grunge, and post-grunge, Everclear has left a lasting impact on the music industry.

TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS, a local band from AUBURN, NY, opened the show for Everclear, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but what a great job they did getting the fans involved and singing along. They did such a wide variety of today's modern music and did it well. You would be surprised; it was like you went from one concert to the next with how well they performed each song. “And you never even left.” Be sure to check out Everclear and Tell All Your Friends if you haven’t already.
