Designed by celebrated architect
Thomas Lamb in 1926 and listed in The
National Register of Historic Places, The Capitol Theatre is located 30 miles from NYC, accessible via I-95 and the Port Chester Metro-North train station. The 2,000-capacity theater, known as "the original rock palace," showcased legends such as Traffic, the Grateful Dead,
Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry,
David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones. Jerry Garcia called it one of his two favorite venues in the USA. In 2012, The Capitol Theatre underwent a major renovation under the guidance of music entrepreneur
Peter Shapiro. Since then, it has hosted major performers including Bob Dylan, Phil Lesh, Ringo Starr, Joan Baez, Skrillex, Bonnie Raitt, Snoop Dogg, Kacey Musgraves, The Strokes, Tom Petty, Cyndi Lauper, and Willie Nelson, as well as comedians like
Kevin Hart and Amy Schumer. The New York Times raves: "A rock theater that looks and sounds as good as the Capitol is something to celebrate."
The Capitol's inner-sanctum bar and music club, Garcia's, was named for Jerry Garcia in partnership with his family. A venue of its own, Garcia's showcases local artists and nationally touring acts across the musical spectrum.
