It’s summer. It’s hot. And so is Cape Ann’s music scene (see full live music lineup here). You have 30 performers to choose from on Cape Ann just tonight and tomorrow! If you’ve never seen What Time Is It Mr. Fox?, here’s your chance — don’t pass it up. They’re at the Dog Bar tonight. Here’s a video of one of my favorite Brian King songs, Cold Rain (starts about 1 minute into the video and it gets louder too).
In case you didn’t know, Cold Rain was covered brilliantly by New Orleans Soul Queen, Irma Thomas (listen here).
