Seth Rogovoy to Sing Rock Hits at Lion's Den
10.12.10
Seth Rogovoy [Framed and shot by Ogden Gigli]
(Stockbridge, Mass.) - Seth Rogovoy and the Grove Street Band will make its debut performance at the Lion’s Den at The Red Lion Inn, performing a program of rock standards, on Wednesday, October 20, at 8 pm.
Singer-guitarist Seth Rogovoy, best known as the editor-in-chief of Berkshire Living magazine and the author of two books about music, is a longtime music critic, having contributed columns and reviews to the Berkshire Eagle for 16 years and as a four-time honoree for music criticism for his Berkshire Living column, “The Beat Goes On,” by the National City and Regional Magazine Association.
But outside of a few rare appearances in Bob Dylan tribute concerts, Rogovoy isn’t known as a performer. In fact, before he was a music critic, Rogovoy spent a number of years as a coffeehouse singer in places much like the Lion’s Den, throughout high school, college, in New York City, and in Jerusalem.
“Once I began reviewing music professionally as my main work activity, I thought it best to put aside my career – such as it was – as a performer,” says Rogovoy, who lives in Great Barrington, Mass. “It’s been great fun getting back in touch with that side of me. I hope it’s almost as much fun for the audience.”
To keep it in the spirit of fun, Rogovoy plans a program of well-known favorites he terms “The Great Anglo-American Songbook 2.0” by classic rock songwriters including George Harrison, Warren Zevon, Bruce Springsteen, Cat Stevens, Robbie Robertson, David Byrne, and, of course, Bob Dylan.
Accompanying Rogovoy will be singer/multi-instrumentalist Rob Sanzone, a frequent Lion’s Den performer, and Willie Watkins, a senior at Monument Mountain Regional High School, on drums. In real life, Watkins is Rogovoy’s son.
Lion’s Den Manager Debby Totillo is delighted to put Rogovoy in the spotlight for a change. “Many of us look to Seth for his thoughtful commentary on music. It will be a treat for us to see and hear, firsthand, what inspires him.”
The Lion’s Den pub, located downstairs at The Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, offers entertainment seven nights a week; there is never a cover charge.
Offering everything from acoustic folk to R&B, and reggae to the blues, the Lion’s Den features regular appearances by local longtimes performers, including David Grover, the Sun Mountain Fiddler, and the Housatonic Philharmonic, along with up-and-coming talent.
Some nationally recognized performers have been known to grace the humble pub’s stage from time to time - James Taylor, Lauren Ambrose and Roger Salloom among them.
The Lion's Den pub is open nightly with entertainment from 9 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday and entertainment from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

I wish I could be there, but I will be out of town.
Break a leg!

So sorry to say this but I heard Mr. Rogovoy live and have to say he should get a good vocal coach before booking or promoting himself as an artist. He can't sing on key and his guitar playing is seriously lacking. This is the man that often rips other musicians apart. Has he heard himself?? Sorry I won't be going to this show.

At least Seth Rogovoy has the courage and decency to stand by his opinions and his music with his own name. You are a coward not to identify yourself.

Hey, 74.70.217.32, lighten up!
Seth puts the fun back in music, Willie absolutely rocks (even if you can hardly see the tad behind his drum set), and the amazing Rob Sanzone invented the term "shredding"!
I am soooo glad to hear you will keep your snarky anonymous self back home listening to Kenny G, that alone will make me think about driving up to Lenox tonight.
If I don't make it, I am there with ya in spirit, Seth-elah.
