2/21/2024 As promised, we just added a bunch of photos from the Subaru Winterfest in Killington two weeks ago in the ACOUSTIC GALLERY. Duane played with his ol' pal Rick Redington and his band. The photos were taken by Mary Grace Johnson. There was a huge crowd and the band went down very well. As you can see, it was the first time for Duane playing with gloves on...well half gloves...

2/18/2024 Winter has been full throttle...you may have guessed since we haven't been able to post. Duane is cranking out gigs so there is no excuse not to find him and say "Hi". He played a gig with his ol' pal Rick Redington and Rick's band at The Subaru Winterfest in Killington, VT as the opening act for Yonder Mountain String Band. The gig was a raging success with thousands in attendance and the band went down really well, despite being below freezing outside...that's right, they played outside at a ski resort in February. We will be posting some photos etc. this week. There will be some big news as to Duane's next record coming soon...we will post this week...

12/12/2023 We just added some new dates for this weekend at the Shows Page!!!

11/27/2023 Well, World Cup was a raging success again. Big shout out to the Killington snowmakers, groomers and all staff that make the event so special every year. DC has just got a call to kick off the Monday K1 Base Lodge shows today from 2:00 - 5:00. We have also added a veritable smorgasbord of SHOWS...

11/11/2023 Here we are in stick season. We have just added a new Artist rendering of the artist himself to the Artist Gallery. Always happy for people to create some art. Ski season is on the way and the SHOWS PAGE will be updated very, very soon. It promises to be a busy winter, as usual. Duane's next album....yeah, I know it's still not done, but with good reason. There are some things in the works and it will be worth the wait. Check out Duane on Facebook and Instagram as there has been a flurry of cool videos and photos posted recently...

9/1/2023 Well....finally, an update to the news. Not that things weren't happening...in fact, too many things to keep up with. Duane has almost completed tracking his record. Mixing begins in September. There is some potentially big news....but we can't share it until it has happened. Duane has been playing all over, including the northern most town in NH. We have added a photo from a show in Pittsburg, NH to prove it on the ACOUSTIC GALLERY...as well as some other new photos too. Duane has been playing a lovely and early gig in Rutland, VT every other Weds. at Strangefellows Pub. For all of you who have said, "If only you'd play earlier"...this is it, so no excuses. We have updated the SHOWS PAGE too.

12/11/2022 Here comes the ski season! DC has picked up a last minute gig for today at the brand new K1 Base Lodge in Killington, VT from 2:00 - 5:00. We will be adding several new shows to the schedule in the following days too. Of course, we will be continuing the residencies at Strangefellows, Mogul's and The Summit Lodge and adding in the Killington lodges for the winter. Things are going to be busy, busy, busy and we hope to see you at a show.

11/17/2022 Here's Ski Season!!! Opening day today and we've finally started to fill in the winter schedule. More dates to come. If you haven't stopped in to listen to Duane and have some delicious tacos or cocktails...or both on a Wednesday night at Strangefellows, then you owe yourself a treat. Nice and early hours (5:30 - 7:30) tasty and affordable food and soothing cocktails...so, so nice...

7/21/2022 Holy Heat Wave Batman!!! Well....summer is in full swing with a whole bunch of great SHOWS. Tonight, Duane starts back up at Mogul's in Killington, VT. There have been plenty of outdoor shows too....The Summit Lodge in Killington, VT and The Cold Cow in Manchester, VT. It has been fabulous to see folks having a great time and enjoying live music again and we can't thank you all enough. After a fair amount of badgering from some fans, Duane finally opened a Venmo account Venmo@Duane-Carleton. Progress....slow. but progress nonetheless :D

5/3/2022 We are sad to say goodbye to Nipper's Cafe in Manchester, VT. Duane enjoyed so many great shows there and will miss this great venue. It would appear that the owners will have him play at their other venue in Manchester, The Cold Cow Creamery. The schedule is filling up for the summer and it promises to be a slamming, jamming summer....new shows posted in the SHOWS page...including two just booked at Strangefellows in Rutland, VT...

4/25/2022 DC had a fabulous time at The Moose this past Friday! Great turnout...so cool. Thank you.

Full disclosure for all who have been asking, "Will DC be playing the lodges this year?"....we don't know. Things will most likely be played by ear for a good chunk of the season.

This Saturday (tomorrow) Duane will be performing at the Mogul's Pig Roast in Killington, VT. There will be a benefit motorcycle ride in Memory of Chipper that ends up at the Pig Roast also.

3/18/2021 Well, well, well....winter is crashing into spring as the weather warms up. Duane is still playing a few gigs a week in the Killington area. Summer gigs are currently being added to the SHOWS PAGE. Yes, you heard correctly. We are finally starting to be able to book into the future....WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!! As people get vaccinated and Vermont continues to do an efficient job with the rollout there is hope in the air. Thank you so much to the venues that have kept DC going this past year as well as the people who came to support live music in a safe, socially distanced, sanitized, responsible way. Duane has been working on a two pronged DC3 effort with mixing for the record being done remotely....a bit of a challenge...and also editing several new DC3 live videos shot in A Sound Space in Rutland, VT. These videos will debut five songs from the new DC3 album. Also, we have posted some new acoustic Duane photos in the ACOUSTIC GALLERY with one being a nice throwback to the Draught Room.

2/19/2021 Big holiday weekend coming up and we have added another DC show for you at The Summit Lodge in Killington, VT on Valentines Day. More work has been done on the DC3 album although it is a little tough to mix remotely. We are persevering here at DC Central. We are looking forward to returning to a somewhat normal schedule in the summer...we hope....fingers crossed everybody....

1/21/2021 Well, well, well....we got snow, we got social distancing, we got great food and cocktails and we got DC gigs in Killington, VT....we got SHOWS...

1/16/2021 We gotta let you know that Duane will be playing at The Summit in Killington, VT on Sunday the 17th (tomorrow) from 4:30 - 7:30 for your post ski delight...spread the word..

1/7/2021 Well...here we go...barreling into 2021...DC has added some more SHOWS. In addition to Mogul's and The Nite Spot he has added a weekly show at The Summit Lodge in Killington, VT. The Summit has a great large room with extra social distancing space, really a great set up for safety. DC3 has begun rehearsing to release some live video too.  We are hoping to see the DC3 record get finished. mixing will have to be done remotely most likely. We are seriously hoping to see things improve this year, for live music to come back and to be able to produce new music.

12/24/2020 Happy Holidays to all! Let's hope anyways...we have some actual gigs to announce...remember those? Not DC's usual winter chock full o' shows but, we'll take it! We have added shows at Mogul's, The Nite Spot and The Summit Lodge (all in Killington, VT). What a freaking year...let's hope is all unicorns and rainbows from here on out....or at least from soon to her on out....

12/1/2020 After some false starts and changes mid-stream...we have posted a tentative schedule on the SHOWS PAGE. We'll see how it lasts. Duane will be playing live w/ Rick Redington on WEXP on Friday at 6:00 for a fundraiser for the station. Rutland, this is your community station. They cover your local organizations, your news, your businesses and your music and the most diverse music format around...this is a great cause. For now we are working on a schedule for the winter. For sure, it will be a small percentage of what it normally would be but, it's a starting point to build on from here....we'll keep you posted...

11/13/2020 Well.....this just in....entertainment is being cancelled statewide so, we have made the updates to the SHOWS PAGE

10/28/2020 Don't forget that Duane returns to Mogul's in Killington, VT tomorrow (the 29th) 4:00 - 8:00.....rumor is that snow will be making an appearance also...

10/22/2020 Hey....there you are....okay, so, we haven't chatted in awhile. Obviously, with the covid Duane has had some down time. But, he's coming back. New shows have been added to the SHOWS PAGE. There will be some changes to the schedule this winter as there will be no entertainment at any base lodges in Killington (as of right now). There will be more shows added so, stay tuned. DC3 continues to work on the mixing of their new record and wil...yes, they will, put it out this winter. There will hopefully be posts of some live DC3 coming this winter to showcase the new material. You'll just have to keep checking in here 'cause.....we're baaaaaaack!!!

6/20/2020 Well, we are stepping our toe in the water and Duane has begun to play some outside shows. He will be doing Thursdays and Sundays from 3:00 - 7:00 at Mogul's in Killington, VT. Lots of outdoor tables spaced appropriately apart. There's BBQ, cocktails, mini-golf and of course, live music...No word so far on a few other regular summer shows Duane usually does. We'll keep you posted. He is also streaming a solo set and a DC3 set today for Vermont Adaptive. They are a great organization that helps folks with physical challenges do sports such as skiing and snowboarding. Today is there fundraiser/century ride. Check it out and donate here: https://www.facebook.com/vtadaptive/

6/1/2020 A few more cancellations coming in. There has been a significant change to the SHOWS page. The gigs booked for next week have been cancelled and all summer regular shows are up in the air. Yes, things are beginning to open up but, with many states still on the rise with Covid cases and VT being a tourism state...well, it's a simple equation to see the potential issues. Also, many bars, resorts and restaurants have taken a significant beating financially with being closed or only doing takeout. They will not be operating at full staff, full capacity or be in the position to hire entertainment right away. We are not out of the woods by a long shot folks...hold on to your hats and we here at DC Central will keep you updated as to the changes here...

5/26/2020 Here come the Covid Cancellations....we are sad to report that Duane won't be performing at Nipper's in Manchester, VT this summer. All shows there have been cancelled. As to Christie's Omn The Lake in Lake George, NY...these are on hold and waiting for the word to start. We'll let you know when we know...Thank you for all of your support...

5/22/2020 So.....not much new to report. A few gigs have been cancelled due to Covid-19. As to the shows that are left on the Schedule, we'll have to keep you posted. Duane has now added over 150 songs to the Quarantine Sessions on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=duane+carleton+quarantine+sessions . Keep checking back for more information. As we get it we will share it right away...

4/23/2020 Well...we hope everyone is doing okay...staying healthy and safe. There are no new gigs to post as the stay at home ban is still in place for a few more weeks. However, if you're jonesing for a little bit of DC...he has now posted over 100 songs to the Quarantine Sessions here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=duane+carleton+quarantine+sessions. We will start making some new additions to the site...new photos etc. ya know...since we have the time...

3/31/2020 Tomorrow night The Heavily Bros. (Rick Redington and DC) will be playing an on-air and streaming fundraiser for Rutland community radio station WEXP 101.5. This is a non-commercial station and due to the coronavirus, a number of the stations sponsors have backed off their sponsorship. This station is the only station we know of in the state that plays VT made music on their station. Speaking of covid-19...as you have noticed dates keep being removed from the Schedule. We are hoping that by May things start to be allowed to open back up...or by June...or by July...we'll be riding it out and we'll let ya know when new dates come in. For now, Duane has been doing a series of Quarantine Sessions on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=duane+carleton+quarantine+sessions .

3/18/2020 Well...as some may have guessed...there have been some changes to the ol' schedule due to coronavirus. We have cleared the dates for March and we'll have to let you know about April. We'll keep you posted as to any kind of online performances etc. Be careful out there and stay healthy...

3/5/2020 Man, oh man...where does a month go...oh yeah...gigs...lots of gigs. And, we just posted even more as well as a few new photos from this past months gigs on the Acoustic Gallery. DC is in talks with Rick Redington to put together another West Rutland show with both bands, DC3 and The Luv.
