Concert Cast: Rockumentary Podcasts Exploring Concert Culture

Join Kyle for a backstage tour of the historic Orpheum Theatre, where she uncovers wild tales from its storied past—like the unforgettable night Umphrey’s McGee rocked so hard they blew out the lights. Just a block away, the legendary Hotel Monte Vista becomes her home base (and yes, they offer discounted long-term rates).

During her stay in the Michael Stipe and Bing Crosby rooms, Kyle connects with Lindsay, a local artist and front desk clerk, who spills captivating stories about visiting music legends and spine-tingling ghost encounters—especially from the infamous Meat Man room.

When it’s time to hit the road, Kyle leaves with a deeper sonic kinship to this mystical town—and chances are, after listening and maybe even visiting Flagstaff yourself, you might feel the same.

Hi, I'm Kyle Lamont, your host and wow, I had the incredible opportunity to spend time with Lena, the lead singer of GoldenOak, in her cozy she-shed as she prepared for her headlining performance at the Under the Oaks Music Festival in Western Maine. Known for her unique and stylish outfits, Lena walked me through her pre-show routine, sharing intimate details of how her fashion choices intertwine with her music. But it wasn't all serious - we had laugh-out-loud moments too, even roasting band members' outfits.

The experience was part of a two-day camping festival where I wandered through the woods on a mushroom foraging adventure along the Sandy River and joined fellow festival-goers for a pancake breakfast served by the band. Throughout the episode, I leaned into my curiosity about how fashion, music, and location influence each other, bringing in voices from fans who shared their thoughts on this fascinating interplay.

I invite you to push play on "Let's Go Festival," a podcast series on ConcertCast.live that transports you to community-focused music events, offering an intimate look at the intersection of music and culture.

Push play for a tour of Happy Top, a one-of-a-kind B&B in Athens, Georgia that's also an analog performance space and recording studio. You'll hear the origin story, the approach to the vintage decoration and design (there's a piano in every room. Literally.), and how owner T.S. Woodward created a signal flow speaker system, giving each room a different audio flavor. Plus, an authentic perspective on why Athens has such a special music scene.

I'm Kyle Lamont, founder and host of Concert Cast, a rockumentary podcast network. Our series "In the Pocket" explores independently owned venues where music and community come together in surprising places. We showcase these unique spots, often at risk due to gentrification, by telling their stories and showing how they shape concert culture.

T.S Woodward wishes to say a very special thank you to Michael Smith-Lanzar (his next door neighbor from 2019-2022 [but resident there since 2014]) who was the first person he met on Bryan St, told him all about the history of Happy Top, helped to negotiate with the city the sewer/water infrastructure & who is an indefatigable activist for human rights.

Book yourself a stay at Happy Top:

My interview with Austin City Limits photographer Scott Newton took a surprising turn. While discussing my indie music video shot in a Maine lighthouse, I found myself opening up about creative doubts. Scott's wisdom transformed our interview into an unexpected pep talk. His words were deeply moving and motivational, and I hope they resonate with you as powerfully as they did with me.
