FLAGSTAFF, AZ: A MYSTICAL MUSIC TOWN
Venue Tour and Lore, Plus Ghost Stories from The Hotel Monte Vista
|
When I pull into Flagstaff, AZ, along Route 66, what was supposed to be a quick stop turns into an extended musical adventure. I get a backstage tour of the Orpheum Theatre—where Umphrey’s McGee once rocked so hard they blew the power—and stay at the legendary Hotel Monte Vista, crashing in both the Michael Stipe and Bing Crosby rooms. Of course, I hear ghost stories about the infamous Meat Man room too.
Along the way, I connect with Lindsay, a local artist and front desk clerk, who shares stories that dive deep into the town’s musical mysticism. By the time I hit the road, I leave with a sonic kinship to this magical little city—and I have a feeling you might feel the same after listening. MORE HERE |

Upon arrival, I'm crushed to find ticket prices soaring beyond reach. With a finger in the air, this audio story captures the voices of fellow ticket seekers and immediate reactions from show-goers, including naysayers. From afterparties to nitrous alley, it's gonzo-style reporting with a hippie twist. We're reminded that the best part of any quest is the people you meet, especially at a PHISH show and in the community it creates.. MORE HERE
