THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19
Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ the Rhumb Line
We’re gettin’ on track for the holiday season by bringin’ in our favorite chef and dishwasher: Mr. Mike O’Connell. His latest book: “Cooking With Beano” Is number one, nationally, and number two, locally. We eggspect some wild souffles and panting pancakes out of our gravelly genius, so get there early to get a seat.
Pushing him forward into the mix will be Leo Shimataro(sp.?) on drumbs and symbols,and of course, Greg T. on catarrh, and myself. Should be a wild time.
From Doug Silva @ THE TOPSIDE GRILLE
What’s up everyone? This Thursday I have a great band playing at The Topside. The Band, Steppers Heaven, come from Boston and they play an infusion of Blues, R&B, Funk, & Rock. I had them down last month and they were unbelievable! Honestly, if you can only make it down once to check out a band at the place, this is the one to check out. If you were there last time, you know how good they are. 2009 winners of the NEUMA (New England Urban Music Awards) categories Best blues band, Best new single, Best original music, and Best female vocalist. Also, a featured group as part of the Boston Blues Society! I am expecting a great turnout and I’m going to be opening up the back lounge for the night! Be sure to get there early if you can! I will be behind the bar as always, and it’s always easier for me to socialize a bit more before the show. Be sure to try some food/appetizers & cocktails if you haven’t tried them yet. Thanks for the continued support, the night has been a success so far and the music has been incredible, hope to see you there! Thursday night 8-11. I’ll be there after 5:00.
Here is a list of other upcoming shows:
| 11/19/2009 | Steppers Heaven (Blues/R&B/Funk) |
| 12/3/2009 | Steve Brennan (Rock/light rock/Covers) |

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20
From Frank Hawks–
Slingdaddy has its first show at the Rhumbline in Gloucester, this
Friday, Nov 20th. This one could be one for the ages….the stars have
aligned in such a way that members of one of Gloucester’s band’s from the
heyday of such venues as Li’l Earl’s are able to converge and thus there
will be a mini-reunion of “Macduff”. For those of you who remember the
vocals of Rebecca Jackson, the thundering rhythm section of Spanks and Orlando with the twin Marshalls of them Hawks(e)s boys – we will all be there. There will definitely be some “sittin’ in” going on. (Don’t
worry, the twin Marshalls will stay at home).

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21
Also from Frank Hawks–
For a change of pace, my other project, the Megan McKenzie Band will be
at Elliot’s @ the Blackburn on Saturday, November 21st. Fronted by the
powerful vocals of Megan Downey, and backed by local veterans of the
Gloucester music scene, Megan McKenzie Band performs songs from the 60’s to the present. Remember, this show is from 8:30pm to 11:30pm.
From GMG’s own Mike Lindberg
Don’t miss Exit 11 this coming Saturday Night at Camerons. We don’t get together that often so it’s sure to be a great time. See you there!
