The Sim Redmond Band\'s airy, bouncing root/ afro-Carribe/ reggae music comes together in a colorful almost dreamy sound. Their music oozes over your brain like a comforting blanket, with its sunny sound and earthy rhythms. Bubbling bass and drums will put you in a trance while sparkling guitar opens your mind to the peaceful ambiance the Sim Redmond Band creates. This Ithaca, NY-based band may feature the worldly sounds of West and South Africa but vocally they have a folk sound that explores truth, dreams and love.

This show must be the meat of an Ithaca Seracuse sandwich...... no?

saw sim redmond open for moe. back in 01.... wasn\'t that impressed. Wish they were opening for b-fast, but whatever. Water st. is a cool venue, maybe I\'ll go anyway. And yes, mezzanotte on 9/22 would be SUUUUUweeet

Interesting.

Have never been to this venue but I understand this is the smaller club of the two. Anyone seen a show at Water Street?

If this is at the "club" at water st., I have no idea what that\'s about. Maybe they just added it. I didn\'t know this place had two rooms in the same place (a la higher ground). I saw The New Deal at the "main stage" at Water Street Music Hall in 03 and 05 and I had a blast. Great sound, and you can get really close to the band.

The Club might be new. It only holds a couple hundred. I noticed that there were some big acts who played the Main Stage.

The Club at the Water Street is approximately 2200 sq. feet of open space with a multi-tiered balcony that wraps around the room. It is a unique room offering an intimate setting of standing room or table seating. The 20 foot, spacious bar came from an old church and offers a view of the stage, while the back of the room has a hot/cold concession stand and espresso bar.

The Club at the Water Street is equipped with projectors and screens for support use from the main room for a live broadcast of that show, slides and/or video or sporting events. Capacity of the club is 350 standing including the balcony space. This room has been freshly remodeled and can be used as a dining area for private parties.

this show falls on brittany\'s bday so we will def make the trip out for this one. might have to do a drive bye since she has to work at 7:00am the next morning. hopefully an ithaca or cuse show pops up the same weekend.

i\'ve seen a bunch of shows at the main stage; moe, mmw, sts9, bela flek, steve kimock, derek trucks. but ive never been to the club side before. website makes it sound like a cool venue with the balcony.
