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.

Concert Cast: A Woman-Owned Rockumentary Podcast Network

Created and hosted by Kyle Lamont, Concert Cast explores Concert Culture through energetic music journalism. Lamont's informed questions, personal anecdotes, and curated local music soundtracks connect listeners with their favorite musicians and iconic venues, offering a unique perspective on the live music experience, earning a Spotify Editor's Pick recognition in 2022.

"Wild" is a 6-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 break-up song you'll ever hear. The album peaks with a homage to gay musicians who inspired the band, evolving into its own 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, capturing the besties as they performed, rehearsed, and prepped for shows. This follow-up video podcast offers a glimpse into the band's musical 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. Their friendship has also evolved, now bearing a new title: platonic wives!

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.
