Syracuse Stage: Opening Night
We’ve heard great reviews and word-of-mouth praise for “The Whipping Man.” The play was directed by Timothy Bond and written by Matthew Lopez. Here’s an interview Bond did with Kenny Dees last week.
Following Friday night’s performance Lemon Elefant, everyone’s favorite go to band for the Connective Corridor, played a gig in the Syracuse Stage lobby.
Year in Review (Fashion)
Wednesday, December 4th, 2013Who says Syracuse isn’t a fashion destination. This year, after some delays, we finally got to experience the Syracuse Fashion Weekend Runway Show (above). There’s something about a runway show that brings out the best in the audience and the models. Street fashion coverage is good, but the experience of a big-time fashion event is just what this town needed.
Special thanks to Moda International, LSK Modeling Agency, the designers, and of course the genius collaboration known as, Lemon Elefant (sounds).
Good Band, Good Sound

Kirsten Tegtmeyer and Bill Horrace (Lemon Elefant) played a gig at the Community Folk Art Center on Thursday.
Lemon Elefant (Bill Horrace and Dave Solazzo) have become the de facto band for the Connective Corridor. They’ve played in nearly every venue and even on the street and aboard buses once or twice.
No matter who sits in with them lately, the sound and the fury of their interaction creates combustible tones. It’s like watching a modern version of Mingus and Monk.
For their latest gig, they welcomed in drummer Kinyatta King (the drummer an MBA) and singer Kirsten Tegtmeyer. The audible aroma they stirred up got caught in the coffered ceiling of the gallery and then slowly descended like a morning fog.
Lemon moved the crowd with cuts by Michael Jackson (Human Nature, Smooth Criminal) and some of their own compositions during the one hour show, but the audience was equally impressed by the strong vocal display of Tegtmeyer on Maroon5’s This Love.
The collective did an encore Friday night for Jazz @ Sitrus (Sheraton Hotel).

Dave Solazzo
Lemon Elefant features a new generation of jazz cats putting in work in-and-around Syracuse. The band is headed by Bill Horrace and Dave Solazzo, who have been fixtures for the past year or so at Connective Corridor music spots (teaming up with various musicians from the area). Last Friday Lemon Elefant was the closing act for Sitrus on the Hill, where they played their original cuts, as well as some pop tunes.
Bill Horrace
Horrace and Solazzo were joined by Josh Dekaney (drums).
