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 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.
