Some bands don’t just play a venue — they belong to it. In this episode of Dropped Among This Crowd, host Sara J. explores one of the most sacred relationships in rock history: The Allman Brothers Band and the Beacon Theatre. What began as a short run of shows in 1989 evolved into a decades-long tradition that transformed March in New York City into something legendary. Inspired by the book One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band by Alan Paul, this episode dives into how the Beacon became more than a stage — it became a home, a ritual, and a gathering place for fans from around the world. This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a story about what happens when a band and a room truly listen to each other. 🔍 In This Episode: Why the Allman Brothers’ relationship with the Beacon Theatre was unlike any other How the band’s 1989 resurgence sparked a New York tradition The origins of “March Madness” at the Beacon What made each Beacon show a singular, unrepeatable experience Legendary surprise guest appearances and why they mattered The role of space, acoustics, and energy in live music How Duane Allman’s spirit remained central to the band long after his passing The emotional weight of the band’s final Beacon shows in October 2014🎶 Key Moments & Highlights: The Beacon Theatre’s opening in 1929 and its rise as an iconic venue The Allman Brothers’ record-setting 238 shows at the Beacon (1989–2014) Why multi-night runs became essential to the band’s identity Live recordings captured at the Beacon, including: An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: First Set (1992) Play All Night: Live at the Beacon Theatre (1992) Peakin’ at the Beacon (2000) Live at the Beacon Theatre (2003) A reading from One Way Out detailing how the Beacon run unexpectedly became an institution📚 Resources Mentioned: One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band by Alan Paul (Check your local library before buying — always recommended!) https://shop.thebighousemuseum.com/products/one-way-out-the-inside-history-of-the-allman-brothers-band-book 💭 Final Thoughts: For fans, the Beacon shows weren’t concerts — they were annual pilgrimages, family reunions, and shared moments that live on long after the last note faded. The Allman Brothers didn’t just perform at the Beacon Theatre — they helped turn it into sacred ground in live music history. 📺 Don’t Miss This!

This week on the show, host Sara J is continuing a listener-favorite format with another deep dive into unforgettable moments in music history—this time spanning January 16–22. From the opening of the legendary Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip to Eric Clapton’s iconic MTV Unplugged session, the birth of Mötley Crüe, and the formation of Bad Company, this episode explores a week packed with defining rock moments. We also revisit infamous and unforgettable events like Ozzy Osbourne’s bat-biting incident, Neil Young’s solo debut, Buddy Holly’s final apartment recordings, and the Beach Boys beginning work on “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” Plus, we celebrate music birthdays from legends like Sade, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, Paul Stanley, Questlove, Steve Perry, and more—while also remembering Glenn Frey and David Crosby.

"No one's gonna die, it's just art" This week, host Sara J welcomes Loveland, CO–based psychedelic indie rock band Satellite Pilot to the show. Joined by Cody (bass), Amy (guitar, synth), Sierra (keys, harp), and Alex (guitar, vocals) — with a shoutout to Jared on drums — the band sits down to talk all things Satellite Pilot as they gear up to release their first EP, 2 furreels 2 true, out December 12th. They dive into the creative process, favorite tracks, what it’s like bringing these songs to life on stage, the story behind the cover art, and so much more. The conversation kicks off with the current lineup sharing their history with the band, how they came together organically, and the unexpected little community of fans that’s blossomed in Wichita, Kansas. From there, each member opens up about what it means to be part of the “ever-expanding energy machine” that is Satellite Pilot — and how the project fuels their own creative worlds, including the music they make outside the group. Then, the band gives a look at what’s coming in 2026: their first-ever live release, To Live to Dazzle, recorded at Dazzle — Denver’s beloved jazz club. Plus, plans to record a lot more, drop a run of singles, and hit the road for shows that stretch “beyond.” A real look at a band building momentum on their own terms.

This week on the show, Sara J. is joined by Alex Moore of Satellite Pilot, a psychedelic indie-pop band based out of Loveland, CO. We dive into the Denver & Fort Collins music scene—what makes it special, why authenticity matters, and how even in a crowded landscape, there’s truly room for everyone. Naturally, we get into the heart of music community and the way sound connects people no matter the miles between them. We talk path markers in life, creative energy, tapping into self, and the frequency shift that happens when you’re playing to a live crowd. Alex also shares the wild story of the massive snowstorm that hit on the night of their 10-year anniversary show… and how it transformed into an intimate evening with the “real ones.” Alex opens up about the roots of his musical passion—from being inspired by a musician father to watching his great grandma play piano and organ in church, to the moment he got his first guitar. He also tells a serendipitous story involving a piano and the day he was born - you know we love that around stuff around here! We dig into his eclectic musical influences, including his love for 60s rockers and the raw authenticity of hip-hop. Then it’s all things Satellite Pilot—the ever-expanding energy machine. Alex walks us through the current lineup, the family inspiration behind the band’s name, what they’re working on now, and so much more!

After taking a week to recap the magic and madness of Hulaween 2025, Karl Engelmann returns to the show for part two — and we pick up right where we left off. Karl dives into life at his restaurant and bar, Epic Catering/Mel’s Place, including hosting the Cuddle Clouds album-release party on November 2nd. From there, the duo gets into the world of independent artists — releasing music across formats, the wild talent of mastering engineers (Karl insists they’re “aliens”), and how his current project Cuddle Clouds ties into the broader web of creative work he’s building. He walks us through the roots of the old-time bluegrass movement, what it means to help keep the tradition alive, and how playing upright bass has shaped him both creatively and professionally. They go everywhere: the impact of Hurricane Helene… leaf season in Western North Carolina... Arizona THC gummies… telepathy… and even the eternal question — did Pompeii have a house band? With Karl, it’s never a dull moment, and part two is no exception.

Photographer David Armas is back to chat about his sophomore year of covering Hulaween Music Festival for DATC Media. He walks us through the full four-day ride — the sets he was thrilled to catch, the acts that left him wanting more, and the surprises that hit along the way. David opens up about what it felt like to be more present in year two - and really embodying the "dropped among this crowd" vibe when capturing moments behind the lens. David reflects on remembering your why, his favourite shots from the weekend, his intentions walking into this year, those unmistakable Hula vibes, looking ahead to next year and everything in between.
