I've been to the space a few times. Saw Tommy Gabel (Laura Jane Grace) do a solo show and also went there for a friend's band. Not a bad little place. The people behind the Webster did it right having the main stage and "the underground" aka place next door lol. Down here in Jersey, no one puts on small up and coming bands at their venue. If you're lucky, you can catch some at Mexi-Cali or Maxwell's but those venues favor bigger acts. There's nothing wrong with that from a business point of view but it sucks for a band starting out and getting some steam. |
Yeah my one problem with the Webster is its location, since it's in one of Hartford's worst areas. I don't think many things happen, but my parents aren't willing to let me stay there and pick me up, or buy a ticket and stay for the show.
