Sherman Summer Stage

This was a super outdoor concert. The Blues Traveler attracted a New York City hometown crowd and this obviously pleased the Band who asked that they come on down and dance after the very 1^st number. I didn’t enjoy that since I had paid $ 50.00 ea for my 2 front row seats (a great deal, or so I thought!) and when the entire open space quickly filled up in front of me, I resigned myself to the fact that I was not gonna see the Blues Traveler perform from my seat any longer. My options were: get up and dance, complain to Management, and get more Budweiser. I loved the intimate venue which was perfect for a beautiful summer night. But, be advised, this concert was advertised as «rain or shine» and I didn’t notice any seats with cover!
The concert was entertaining. Traveler played for 2 hours w/​o a break and they sounded great. Popper’s voice sounded a little strained to me but his harmonica was still strong. I hope he is taking care of himself. Their opening act, the Jersey Syndicate, played a professional mix of rock and blues for 1 hour ahead of them. Security was attentive and parking was very convenient and no extra charge. I will definitely plan to attend another concert at the Sherman Summer Stage and hope for another great summer weather evening. Next time I will bring food. The available options were only wine, beer and bland pretzels. The location of the Sherman Summer Stage is behind the Mt Airy Casino. It was an easy 1 hour drive for us after we passed the Scranton Area on I-​84 and followed directions on the GPS to Mt Pocono. They used above average portable stadium seats with great tush support and built in beverage cup holder. My report on the Casino will have to wait. The concert ended close to midnight and we had a 2 plus hour car ride back to Upstate New York to contend with.
Kudos to the Mt Airy Casino for maintaining clean bathrooms and excellent security. I watched several smokers escorted out of the crowd when they lit up from their seats like assholes and I watched a few obvious drunks promptly removed before they could cause any problem. Here’s wishing continued success to Sherman Outdoor Concerts!
