Nectar’s night club in Burlington, Vt., will play host to a series of evenings of Pink Floyd music in December.
“Dark Side of the Mountain” is a project created by drummer Matt Burr of Vermont band Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and fellow Vermont musician Bob Wagner.
Burr and Wagner will be joined by a variety of other artists each Wednesday night in December performing the music of Pink Floyd accompanied by a projection light show.
Shows Dec. 4, 11 and 18 are free to attend. The series culminates with a ticketed performance featuring Marco Benevento at Club Metronome, above Nectar’s, on Dec. 29. Tickets for the final performance are $8 in advance, $12 day of show.
“I’ll never forget the first time I heard ‘Animals’ and ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ as a kid,” says Burr. “It was a space ship for my brain, with pristine arrangements, tones, harmonies, solos, and chords. Every note was golden, and no one ever over-played.
“All of their albums continue to blow my mind, especially their masterful work in the ’70s,” he adds “The brilliant meat and potatoes drumming of Nick Mason has played a huge role in my development as a drummer.”
Burr along with the Nocturnals have toured with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, The Allman Bros. Band, Dave Matthews, Avett Bros. and others. The group’s fourth and latest album is “The Lion The Beast The Beat,” available on Hollywood Records.
Learn more about “Dark Side of the Mountain.”
Burr and Potter recently married. Here’s hoping she’s brushing up her “Great Gig in the Sky.”

The management firm for Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour says no new recording project is underway. Yet.
The word comes from One Fifteen owner Paul Loasby. “Despite what Graham Nash tweeted there is nothing concrete as yet,” he tells “Floydian Slip.”
Loasby was responding to reports Nash had mentioned during an appearance on vintage.tv’s “Needle Time” that he and David Crosby were headed to Gilmour’s studio to lay down some vocals for “his new record.”

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour is said to be working on a new recording project.
The news was seemingly leaked by Graham Nash (Crosby Stills Nash, The Hollies) on an appearance on vintage.tv’s “Needle Time” program last week.
Nash mentioned to host Neil McCormick that he and David Crosby were “taking the train to Brighton to go and sing with David Gilmour on his new record.”
Nash and Crosby provided some backing vocals on Gilmour’s previous studio album, “On an Island” (2006).
“Floydian Slip” turned to long-time Floyd sound engineer Andy Jackson who would certainly be working on such a project, if it was underway, for comment. He would neither confirm nor deny the project, but added, “Things are afoot, and more than you might expect.”
Gilmour’s former bandmate, Roger Waters, recently off his three-year world tour of “The Wall,” told Rolling Stone recently he’s completed a 55-minute demo of a new solo album.
