The Pier: “Backstage Story” Articles

We here at The Pier feel fortunate enough to have been able to provide Reggae-Rock coverage of our favorite bands for going on 5 years this August! As our relationships have developed, we’re lucky enough to be welcomed backstage at most live shows…

While backstage we get to hear some interesting stories from the bands and we have decided to translate these stories, interactions & experiences into a new feature we introduced late last year known as our Backstage Story articles.

Our first Backstage Story piece started just a day or two after Matisyahu shaved his beard last December. Our very own Kit Chalberg was given special permission to cover the event backstage at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO. His recap of the night, mainly focused on the backstage happenings, manifested itself into a series article now known as our Backstage Story pieces.

Since then we have done Backstage Story pieces on Don Carlos and Rootz Underground. Look out for more Backstage Story articles to be added to the site in the coming months and feel free to read up on our previous Backstage Story articles by clicking each image below…
