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

Thursday at the Rhummie: the fabulous tag team of Tony and Sam Goddess. Often known as the Goddesses, it’s always a blast to play with these well-rehearsed practitioners of aural s*** and transcendental medication. Plus it’s a pretty groovey band featuring Mr. John Cameron on the keys, the cackling drummer Mr. Steve Chaggaris, and myself, of course. Yes! i’m back…and I’m beautiful….hope to see you there. hours 7 to 10.
