Ghosted by a Rockstar. Haunted by his Music | Concert CAST podcast with Kyle Lamont

I matched with the frontman of a band I used to sing my heart out to, one of our most prolific songwriters. A brief romance unfolded, then ended without a single word. Here’s what I learned about the duality of musicians and the heartbreak of mistaking his lyrics for the person I thought he was.

Why Flagstaff, AZ is More Haunted (and Loud) Than You Think

What starts as a quick stop on Route 66 turns into a month-long musical adventure in Flagstaff, Arizona. Host Kyle Lamont takes you on a backstage tour of the historic Orpheum Theatre to uncover wild tales, including the night Umphrey’s McGee blew out the venue lights.

We set up shop at the legendary Hotel Monte Vista, staying in rooms once occupied by Michael Stipe and Bing Crosby. Local artist Lindsay joins us to spill captivating stories of visiting music legends and the spine-tingling ghost encounters of the "Meat Man" room. Explore Flagstaff concert culture on this immersive audio atlas to the Southwest where you will leave with a deeper sonic kinship to this mystical town.

I Think I Just Got More Gay: Inside 76th Street’s New Queer Anthem

kyle@vemorii.live (Good to Go Studios, Kyle Lamont) — Fri, 4 Oct 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Kyle Lamont reunites with Haley and Spencer of 76th Street to discuss their new queer pop EP, WILD, a six-song musical journey featuring everything from a heart-pounding love song dedicated to Nashville's hottest queer bar to what might be the most joyful and liberating breakup song you'll ever hear. The album peaks with a homage to the gay musicians who inspired the band, evolving into a queer anthem guaranteed to get you dancing and leave you humming, "I think that I just got more gay."

Kyle's bond with the band dates back to 2021 when she chronicled the sonic soul sisters' Nashville debut in a rockumentary podcast. This follow-up offers a glimpse into their evolution as both artists and humans. While their lyrics now embrace same-sex pronouns, 76th Street's core message remains unwavering: strength, independence, and radical self-love.

Sleep inside a Venue in Athens, Georgia called Happy Top

kyle@vemorii.live (Good to Go Studios, Kyle Lamont) — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 20:40:00 +0000

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.

His words were deeply moving and motivational, and I hope they resonate with you as powerfully as they did with me.

Salt Lake City: A Music Scene that Will Surprise You | Concert CAST Podcast

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont, Kyle Lamont) — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Salt Lake City has a strange reputation, but when host Kyle Lamont peels back the stereotypes, she finds that the city’s concert culture is creative, edgy, and overly kind.

In this episode of Concert CAST, we journey from the salt flats to the velvet curtains, passing through local "nerd caves" to meet world-renowned illustrator Travis Bone (Furturtle) and hear the surprising process behind his iconic concert posters. This episode also takes you on a daytime tour of the city's coolest music venues, stopping at Urban Lounge for stories and lore from co-owner Will Sartain, who spills secrets about the venue's live music history—including the time a band dragged a couch out of the green room to go crowd surfing on it.

Religion quite literally shapes this city’s geography, and after spending time with Travis and Will, you will hear how Mormonism also deeply influences the city’s concert culture—a brand of kindness that seeps out from the artists in a very Salt Lake City way. In a place where community is more important than celebrity, take this episode as your invitation to couch-surf through Salt Lake City’s caring crowd.

Music heard in this episode: The songs you heard in this episode are Paint over Prayers, Coma, Face Against the Glass, This Winding Road and More Melody. They were written and performed by Will Sartain. Produced by Kilby Records and Exumbrella Records. Body Language was performed by Monotonix and produced by Drag City Records. And Exceptional Whore is by Vile Blue Shades recorded at the Urban Lounge.

kyle@vemorii.live (Good To Go Studios, Kyle Lamont) — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 20:26:12 +0000

On the outskirts of Boston, a warehouse comes alive on a frigid night. Artists and bohemians huddle together, drawn in by live music in one of the city's best-kept secrets.

Journey to The Loft in Boston, a DIY artist rehearsal and performance space that serves as a sanctuary for experimental sounds. We'll shadow Audrey Ryan, the venue's owner (a talented musician herself), during her preparations and performance for the concert and spend time with a group of Boston bohemians to gain insight into the significance and preciousness of this venue in a city that is grappling with the loss of artist spaces.

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 ways. We spotlight these unique spaces, often at risk from gentrification, sharing their stories and showcasing their influence on concert culture.

Listen to my audio field note from the Bangor Savings Amphitheater where the bands Jax, MAX, and Big Time Rush reignite love's sparkle within me and I can't help but ponder: is this concert the culmination of my healing journey through heartbreak, or the beginning of a new love cycle?

Heartbreak is a regenerative journey that takes you down many emotional paths. Depression, displacement—for me, denial that I would ever want to be in love again.

And during each stage of the process, the perfect song would seem to serendipitously appear and like a lyrical blanket, insulate my cold heart.

Starting with Carol King lamenting, "It's too Late," transitioning into Little Dragon’s, “No Love.” Then it was Peter Tosh bellowing, “Why Must I Cry,” and as of late, “Last Goodbye” by Jeff Buckley. And many, many, other songwriters were there for me too.

Yet, these songs are a double-edged sword inadvertently reinforcing despair. The truth is, they made me kind of calloused towards love too. But when I venture into the Amphitheater at the Bangor Waterfront to photograph contemporary pop stars JAX, MAX, and Big Time Rush, I feel giddy and carefree and I start to see love through a sparkling lens of optimism again.I can’t help but wonder, was this pop concert the culmination of my healing journey, or rather, the start of a new love cycle?

I Slept in a Tent Behind the Main Stage: Music Festival Podcast from Concert CAST

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont) — Fri, 12 May 2023 21:55:00 +0000

From Concert CAST on VEMORii.live, we present Let’s Go Festival, the only immersive travel podcast that brings the music festival to you.

Our series kicks off at the Narrow Gauge Amphitheater in Farmington, Maine, for the annual Sandy River Music Festival.

Host Kyle Lamont tracks the high-stakes energy of a wildly ambitious local organizer, shadows the sound techs as they prepare the main stage, and even weathers a sudden mountain flash rain storm alongside the production crew.

From camping out in a brand-new bell tent directly behind the main stage to hitting the nearby trails for mountain biking and taking a midday swim in the river, this is an authentic, on-location experience. Enjoy intimate interviews with the artists and a late-night acoustic jam around the campfire, and experience the only festival in Maine where you can swim, mountain bike, and sleep in a tent backstage—all without the frantic chaos of mass crowds. It's community-driven, rural, and as grassroots as it comes.

The Venue Keeping Athens, Georgia Experimental: Flicker Theatre feat. Cookie Tongue

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont, Kyle Lamont) — Tue, 7 Jun 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Stop letting the algorithm choose your soundtrack. When the disappointment of shuttered venues and the burnout of well-worn playlists collide in Athens, Georgia, host Kyle Lamont ditches the "safe listening" habit for a journey into the unknown.What she discovers inside Flicker Theatre & Bar—an avant-garde venue of the South—is a total wonder: the bewitching, freak-folk music of Cookie Tongue.

This episode of Concert CAST challenges our modern listening habits through an interview with Omer Gal, the visionary creator behind Cookie Tongue, and Adam Wayton, Flicker’s talent buyer and member of The Pink Stones.

Together, they discuss an intentional approach to booking "weird" bands to ensure Athens remains an eclectic, experimental music town. Along the way, we draw reflections from Ben Ratliff’s seminal book, Every Song Ever, which offers a critical guide to listening in the digital age of plenty.

Plus, a Concert CAST first: Lamont interviews a mouse! By the time the episode ends, you'll be inspired to turn off your predictable playlists and listen for the weird and wonderful waiting just off the beaten path.

The Venues That Changed Phoenix Concert Culture | Concert CAST Podcast

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont, Kyle Lamont) — Mon, 7 Feb 2022 18:00:00 +0000

Phoenix was once a layover city. Today, thanks to venues like Crescent Ballroom, its concert culture has transformed the once-barren downtown into a live music destination.

In this episode of Concert CAST, Kyle Lamont takes you inside two iconic Phoenix spaces. First, we hit Crescent Ballroom—a 1910s garage turned community hub that serves incredible Mexican cuisine—to talk with former Lotus guitarist Mike Rempel about the creative circuit between the stage and the crowd, and how a venue can fundamentally affect a performance.

Then, we head to the Warehouse District staple Last Exit Live to hang out with Dead Winter Carpenters. These "road warriors" share the reality of the grind, logging 50,000 miles a year in pursuit of creating lasting sonic connections.

The episode also features legendary architect Will Bruder, designer of the iconic Burton Barr Library, who offers a masterclass on the "emotional architecture" of gathering places—plus a surreal 1960s story involving fringed suede boots.

Phoenix proved that the right venues can redefine a culture. It’s a destination worth the miles, but timing is everything. Aim for a January to April arrival—any later and you’re less of a concert-goer and more of a rotisserie chicken.

The Science of Silent Disco with HUSH | Concert CAST podcast

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont, Kyle Lamont) — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 17:00:00 +0000

What do a silent disco and a corporate conference produced by HUSHconcerts have in common? Wireless headphones and a deeper sonic connection.

First developed for military intercommunications in WWII, headphones have evolved from a tactical necessity into a mainstay for personal transport and global connection. Robbie Kowal, the pioneering CEO and DJ behind HUSHconcerts, sits at the forefront of this sonic evolution on both the conference and concert stage. In this episode of Concert CAST, we explore his latest shipment of high-tech gear—headphones that light up like a spaceship with 8 colors and 12 channels—while uncovering how this splashy tech still relies on the rock-solid radio frequencies of the past.

Kowal is obsessed with the mechanics of the experience as he balances his roles as an executive and an artist. We go behind the scenes to hear how he prepares for a silent disco, solves our modern-day distraction issues, and fundamentally changes how we experience music and the spoken word when gathered en masse. If you haven't tried this experience, it is a must —there is no other feeling than being independent together.

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont, Kyle Lamont) — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 13:54:00 +0000

Venturing to Stockholm, Maine, feels like crossing into an entirely different state—one where rocky coastlines dissolve into endless potato fields. In this snowy, time-capsule Swedish colony, host Kyle Lamont discovers Eureka Hall, a legendary musical outpost sitting just miles from the Canadian border. Once the clothespin capital of the world, Stockholm is now where snowmobiles outnumber cars and touring musicians find a mandatory pilgrimage site. In this episode, we explore why the best acts in New England trek six hours north to play a room that has lived a thousand lives—from a 1920s rooming house to a high-energy stage for the modern wanderer.

kyle@vemorii.live (Kyle Lamont, Ben Cosgrove) — Mon, 8 Jun 2020 13:46:00 +0000

A five-hour trek into "The County" means leaving the salty air of the coast for a land where fishing villages dissolve into endless potato fields. Host Kyle Lamont journeys 300 miles north to the birthplace of astronauts and the last frontier of Maine. In this episode, we ride shotgun through a "white squall" blizzard to Fort Kent with musician Ben Cosgrove, a composer who treats geography as his primary lyricist. From the "physics" of performing for a room full of snowmobilers to the raw emotional scaffolding of an album born from a horrific breakup, this is a narrative about mapping our internal worlds onto the external landscape.

Welcome to a world where the headliners aren't touring bands, but migratory singers with a "jazzy" dialect. Host Kyle Lamont heads to a solar-powered cabin on a dead-end street in Cherryfield to meet Chris Riley—a mason and avian ecologist who treats the Maine woods like a massive, open-air amphitheater. This episode dives into the "coocoo" subculture of birding, where fans travel hundreds of miles to witness a rare range-shift and the "deafening" dawn chorus of Washington County.

Sullivan is a town that stays quiet but inspires loudly. Beyond the rocky coast of Frenchman’s Bay lies a community where solitude and connection overlap in the shadow of Cadillac Mountain. Host Kyle Lamont returns to her hometown to explore the transition of the Lucky Stone Retreat—a cottage built by her grandfather after WWII—into a modern haven for global travelers and creators. From a Marine veteran finishing his memoir with a stray dog from Afghanistan to an indie rocker looping kazoos and accordions, this episode uncovers the gritty, avant-garde art enclave tucked away Sullivan, Maine.

In this episode, we cross the bridge to Bar Harbor to explore a hidden nexus of bohemian cafes, urban gardens, and speakeasy-style venues that keep the local music alive long after the National Park gates close for the day.

This episode dives into the "cathartic agency" of sound, exploring how a single song acts as a bridge to the past.

After decades of feeling the floors of Madison Square Garden undulate under the feet of 20,000 fans, what does a rock star crave most? For Jon Fishman, the ultimate luxury isn't a louder stage—it’s the profound stillness of the Maine woods. In this "bite-sized" exclusive, host Kyle Lamont sits down with the Phish drummer to discuss his move to Lincolnville, the "essence of life" found in homesteading, and why the most powerful part of a song is often the space between the notes.

What does it actually take to stay fueled during a marathon tour? From the "owner’s box" donut spreads of the Baker’s Dozen at MSG to the bare-bones reality of a green room that’s basically just a "break room with some almonds," Jon Fishman pulls back the curtain on the glamorous (and not-so-glamorous) world of backstage catering. In this "bite-sized morsel," host Kyle Lamont talks food on the road.

kyle@vemorii.live (Jon Fishman, Kyle Lamont) — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 14:11:00 +0000

“The spirit of a road trip is strikingly similar to musical improvisation.” - Kyle Lamont

While the world knows him as the drummer of Phish, Jon Fishman’s local passion in Belfast, Maine, is "The Errant Path"—a weekly radio show where he trades his drumsticks for faders. In this "bite-sized morsel," host Kyle Lamont catches up with Fishman to explore how decades of driving Phish across the country to gigs in their first car prepared him for the meandering, connection-seeking world of community radio.

To find the heartbeat of Phish’s rhythm section, you have to leave the stadium lights behind and head into the rolling hills of Belfast, Maine. Host Kyle Lamont takes the scenic route through the weed farms of Route 90 to meet Jon Fishman in a place you’d least expect: behind the faders of a community radio station. Sitting in a frayed leather wingback chair, the man who anchors the world’s most famous jam band opens up about the "errant paths" that define his music, his radio show, and his life in the Pine Tree State.
