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,

Only 27 tix left for the Dec.1 holiday show… grab them before they’re gone!!!
Chelsea Berry, one of the the New England area’s finest musicians, will be performing in Manchester on December 1st at the Crowell Chapel in the Rosedale Cemetery. This special holiday performance, aptly titled “Holiday’s & Wintertide: An Evening with Chelsea Berry & Friends” will feature the musical talents of Rockport’s, John Rockwell, and the husband and wife duo of Joe Cardoza and Renée Dupuis of Rowley.
The evening’s program, presented by Single Tree Music and The Historic Manchester Trust, will feature holiday songs and some original material guaranteed to resonate with guests in the acoustic brilliance of the Crowell Chapel. The event’s producer, Chris Langathianos, said, “I’ve lived in Manchester for 12 years and hadn’t been into the Crowell Chapel. I decided to take a look and the second I stepped into it, I was blown away by the acoustics and the beauty of the venue itself. I immediately called Chelsea, and said, ‘you have to check this place out!’ From there, the idea for a holiday performance blossomed.”
Chelsea Berry, an Alaska native who moved to the Boston area to attend Berklee College of Music, is a fixture on the live music scene having performed all over the country and often opening for world-class musicians like Chris Isaak, Marshall Crenshaw, Livingston Taylor, and Cheryl Wheeler, to name a few. Last summer, she headlined the Festival by the Sea’s finalé concert in Masconomo Park.
When asked about the holiday performance, Berry said, “The whole holiday music thing is actually a bit of a secret indulgence of mine – it’s an excuse to step outside the box and perform classical music, orchestrate crazy vocal harmonies, and pretend I’m in the elementary school choir again. To me, the time of year itself means family, skiing, reading next to the woodstove, decorating the tree, and Mom’s Christmas morning sticky buns – all happy memories for me.”
With Rockwell and Renée & Joe slated to kickoff the evening’s performance, the audience will almost certainly be treated to some vocal and musical collaboration later in the evening’s program. The audience might expect Dupuis’ throaty, alto harmonies to perfectly compliment Berry’s powerful, smooth vocal leads, Cardoza’s passionately executed guitar skills, and Rockwell’s baritone voice and humorous stage presence to make the evening unforgettable. The four musicians are not strangers to collaborating with each other, so the onstage chemistry will undoubtedly be magical for this one-time performance.
The December 1st concert will take place during Manchester’s Christmas by the Sea weekend and is slated to start at 7pm. Tickets are $20 each, or guests may reserve an entire pew which will accommodate 6 to 8 guests comfortably. Tickets are available at www.attendstar.com or by calling 617-694-6892.
A portion of all ticket sales will go directly to The Historic Manchester Trust to support its programs.

Ms. Diane Blue & Mr. Roberto Morbioli join The Blues Party tonight with Mark Earley on sax @ The Rhumb Line tonight 9:00pm
We’re on a roll! Last week was amazing and so this week shall be as I welcome back Ms. Diane Blue. Just back from a ravioli-studded tour of Italy’s lower lip region, she has captured the wily Mr. Roberto Morbioli (did I spell that right?) and dragged him back thru customs. The poor guy: they made him take off his shoes, but they wouldn’t give them back cuz they are so cool.. Besides that, he plays a mean guitar, and sings, too. Of course, Miss D will be doing most of the vocals, belting out your favorite works of art, and filling in the cracks with some fine harmonica.
She’ll be bringing in some new heavy guns in the form of Mr. Rusty Scott, on keys, and John Medeiros, on skins. Both new to me, I’m putting on a new flea collar! Roomer has it that a certain, world famous sexamaphonist will be dropping out of the sky to join us, too. One can only hope. Come frolic!

Live Stream of Orleans & Friends @ Mercy Lounge One Cannery Row, Nashville TN Sunday, November 11th, 7:30 PM
Streaming Live at StageIt.com
A message from Lance Hoppen…
Most of you are already aware of the sudden passing of my brother and partner, Larry Hoppen, on July 24th. In the wake of this tragedy, Orleans (Fly Amero, Lane Hoppen, Charlie Morgan, returning co-founder John Hall and myself) made a commitment to finish 2012’s calendar of live shows. That calendar draws to a close with this very special event.
The official press release is repeated in full below, so I won’t go into redundant detail here. But I will say that I am thrilled that we’ll get to play MY town as the closer of this “tour” … and that I’m SO excited and grateful that this stellar cast of performers has consented to help us raise money for Larry’s family.
Won’t you please help us spread the word far and wide? For those who cannot attend the show in person, they can still see it in its entirety anywhere in the world via live online streaming over www.StageIt.com. Now THAT is very cool!
StageIt is very user-friendly. All you need to do is register for a FREE account there prior to show time. Then, view the show as it happens LIVE at http://stageit.com/stage/15184 (ticket price is $20)
Hope to “see” you there.
Gratefully,
Lance Hoppen (for all of Orleans & Friends)

Tennessee-Based Musicians Join Orleans to Honor Late Co-Founder in Benefit Concert
(Nashville, TN) The pop/rock band Orleans, best known for its 70s classics “Still the One,” “Dance With Me” and “Love Takes Time,” suffered tragedy earlier this year. Lead singer and co-founder, Larry Hoppen, passed away suddenly on July 24. Larry was well loved and highly respected as a great musician, player, singer, songwriter, brother, father and friend. He was also a great humanitarian activist with a big heart.
In Larry’s honor (pictured left), there will be a special “Orleans & Friends” show Sunday, November 11, at the Mercy Lounge, One Cannery Row, Nashville, Tennessee. Showtime is 7:30 PM. $20 minimum donation. Tickets sold online and at the door.
Many local and regional artists, who are also longtime friends of Orleans, will join them on stage. Artists scheduled to appear include Jimi Jamison, John Ford Coley, Henry Paul (Blackhawk), Jonell Mosser, Kathie Baillie & Michael Bonagura (Baillie & the Boys), Bill Lloyd (Foster & Lloyd), Alyssa Bonagura and Pete Huttlinger. The Boy Wonder Blues Band will open.
All performers are donating their time and talent. All net proceeds will benefit the Hoppen family, especially Larry’s teenage daughters, Maeve and Claire. Additional donations welcome. Checks can be made out to Hoppen Family Benefit Fund.
Orleans, now in its 40th year, was scheduled to appear on the Fox & Friends Summer Concert TV Series just a few days after Hoppen’s death. They also had previously scheduled a string of summer and fall shows. While there was no way to salvage the Fox TV appearance, brother and co-founder Lance Hoppen vowed to finish their calendar of 2012 concert dates in Larry’s honor. To accomplish this, Orleans’ mainstays Lance and Lane Hoppen, Dennis “Fly” Amero and Charlie Morgan welcomed returning co-founder, John Hall, who had taken leave to serve as a US Congressman (2007-2010, D-NY 19), for several well-received shows this past August, September and October. The calendar of live shows concludes with this benefit concert in Nashville on November 11.

A rare and sudden opportunity has presented itself to us all!
Making a very brief appearance here on Cape Ann is my
longtime friend, Marty Morrissey. Marty is a seasoned folk
artist who has been performing beautiful music throughout
the greater regions of Vermont for well over 30 years in many
groups, including celtic style (with the popular New England
trio The Highland Weavers) and “schmaltzy swing” as The
Tin Pan Valentinos. Among many of this multi-instrumentalist’s
historically commemorative CDs, you may find a particular title:
“Old & New Songs of Lake Champlain”, recorded with
partner Robert Resnik and released on January 1, 2009… day
one of the 400th anniversary year of Samuel de Champlain’s
first visit to the lake which bears his name. Click the link below
and pick it up on CD Baby today! Meanwhile, we’ll see you on
