this past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to DJ at Fete Music in Providence, RI. This venue has been open only a few months and it is already gaining recognition for having a great roster of talent and an amazingly cool staff. Donald King, is the gent that brought me in the play and I use the the word gent in the truest form, he welcomed us with generosity and kindness...not to be mention a sick knowledge of music.
Fête is New England’s boutique live music venue
dedicated to providing innovative music programming to an audience as
diverse as New England itself. Fête’s mission is to rejuvenate the
relationship between music and revelry; create a haven where both
artists and audiences engage in a unique and gratifying cultural
experience and actively participate in the revitalization of Olneyville,
a unique and historic Providence neighborhood.
The Ballroom, Lounge, and Bistro (2013) at Fête will have a lasting impact upon The Creative Capital’s vibrant art, culture and tourism industry. Fête will create employment opportunities for various education and skill levels. Our culturally diverse programming will provide thousands of visitors the opportunity to visit, shop, and dine while experiencing the unique charms of Providence.
Strategically Located
Many bands with significant followings by-pass Rhode Island for other metro areas such as Boston, causing missed revenue streams for our state. With three unique rooms, Fête will tap into the local, regional, and national music scene, actively working to stimulate and support the artistic community.
A Unique Program
Fête is committed to developing thoughtful and unique programming that honors our rich musical past, while supporting the cutting edge, experimental, commercial and non-commercial trends. Fête celebrates all types of music and we believe music can bring people together.
Next month I have a guest spot at another cool location Dusk...located in Smith Hill. The venue is gorgeous with a fantastic bar and the owner Rick Sunderland welcomed us warmly, another cool cat that is a school teacher by day and bar owner by night.The bar welcomes a great group of artists and DJs : )
So i highly recommend if u find yourself in the Providence area check out these dope spots..you won't regret it, great music and great people. Reminds me of how the scene was in NYC before the hipster invasion. Yeah I said it.
