I am a live music advocate and seek to share the news of bands playing at local venues in my home town. Being drawn to blues mostly but embrace all kinds of music. One does not have to go over the bridge to hear some real fine tunes, however there are some bands that draw you elsewhere. I hope this blog is a good use to you as it is to me. Enjoy, Joanne

This Thursday, May 12th, 29 of my students will be performing at the Shalin Liu Performance Center for our spring recital “The Kindness Concert” ☮️💜🎶

I feel like what we all need right now is a concert where young creatives celebrate being kind and encouraging to each other! Living my dream.

It’s gonna be a real good time! Dave Sag’s blues Party @ The rhumb Line 7-10pm. Put on your dancin shoes!

Posted on by Joanne

Thursday at the The Rhumb Line: Chris Fitz! . This guy is something else. You should Czech him out if you already don’t know. He writes, he plays awesome gootar and sings like an angel. Chris P. Anzelone, suono buoni, drums. And I’m franticly looking for a suitable fourth person since our regular scheduled blues robot was brutally disfigured in a horrible wine bottle opener accident.

Alas, Alek Razdan joins in on the fun! So stop feeling like you’re living in the Bermuda Triangle and come out to play! hours 7 to 10.

Rhumb Line Wednesdays… 6pm Start witH John Jerome and Allen Estes as His Special Guest 2.2.2022

Posted on by Joanne

They call John Jerome the “Island Cowboy.”  Well, I guess that’s a good name, ’cause he seems to have taken full charge of tha traucous rodeo we’ve all  known for so many, many years to be Rhumb Line Wednesday.  No finer example than this very week, as he hosts one of this island community’s most prolific and notorious country cowpokes, the great Allen Estes!  This promises to be a match made in Heaven, for sure.  The chute opens at 6pm!

Dinner with great music!

*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
The Rhumb Line Kitchen……features Morgan Forsythe!

 Dishes are better than ever before!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!

Upcoming…2/9 John Raymond Jerome Hosts
