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,

Evan Goodrow joins The Dave Sag’s Blues Party tonight @ The Rhumb Line
Where did the week go? Sorry I’m so late with my missive but I’ve had trouble removing the hose clamp off my back. So I’m suffering’: big deal….Just makes that halo over my head seem brighter. Anyhow, please remember to change your underwear and come on down to the Rummie this week as we present that galvanic superstar of mishegas: Mr. Evan Goodreau. I love playing with this guy; he’s so fearless and accommodating, too. We’ll share the vocal duties and rev up our Irish Ace of Pace, Mr. “Molto” Benny Benson, make him work up a big appetite.
And Monday, don’t forget, I’ll be down at the Rose Baker Senior Center from 1 to 3 , hooting’ it up with the Good Old Salty Jazz Band. Once again: it’s free! Gotta go! My spine is squaking!

”STILL THE ONE” “DANCE WITH ME” “LOVE TAKES TIME”
“What’s next? Where do you guys go from here?” The answer, according to longtime ORLEANS member, Fly
Amero, is the same as it always has been in the entertainment business – the show must go on! Or, perhaps an
even better reply may be found in the words of Larry Hoppen himself… “ LET THERE BE MUSIC ! ”
John Hall, songwriter and co-founding member of the classic american pop group, ORLEANS, rejoins his friends
(Fly Amero among them) once again as they carry on through the 2012 calendar year in honor of their fallen
comrade, Larry Hoppen. This rare New England performance features not only the legendary John Cafferty and
Michael “Tunes” Antunes (formerly of the Beaver Brown Band and Eddie & the Cruisers)… but also includes a
“walk-on” appearance by the great Joe Bouchard (formerly of Blue Oyster Cult). Local legend Allen Estes will
open the show, and 10% of profits go to the North Shore YMCA Summer Camp Program. Doors at 7:30pm!

Tonight’s Dave Sag’s Blues Party will host Mike O’Connell ~ Smokin!
Dave says,
Fur trapping season is over and we’re lucky to snag Mr. Mikey O’Connell for a ruminative blast o’ blues this week. Newly recuperating from bear trap removal surgery, he’ll be hobbling in this thursday to regale you with his awesome originals and bluesy renditions of classic r&b. Moreover, Mr. Steve Sadler,string iconoclast,vocalist, and slide master will be along for the ride. Worse, one of our fave drummblers, Mr. Forrest “Frosty” Padgett, will be orchestrating the Heimlich maneuver to the boogy beat. I’ll be there, too, holding on to the stick bass for dear life. It’s gonna be a carpet bombing kind of nite, with little elves digging little holes and jumping around muttering muted incantations. I wouldn’t miss it even if I could. Show starts at 9, goes till midnite. And…the air conditioning is working! Thanx for your continued support!

Murali Coryell is a triple threat contemporary blues artist who can sing, write and play guitar with the best in the business. As the son of guitar legend Larry Coryell, Murali grew up around the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, & Carlos Santana. In 1995, Murali joined Duke Robillard’s touring band and was quickly signed as a solo artist resulting in the stax/volt influenced “Eyes Wide Open”. In 1999 Murali recorded “2120” for Marshall Chess in which Rolling Stone named Murali “One promising new hound”. Over the years Murali has toured with father Larry Coryell and Joe Louis Walker as a featured artist and appeared many times as supporting act for B.B. King. “Murali’s latest CD “Sugar Lips” reached # 5 in 2010 on the Living Blues Radio Chart was recorded in Nashville with Tom Hambridge producer of Buddy Guy’s latest Grammy winner. Featuring special guest stars Joe Louis Walker and Larry Coryell, Cortney Harding of Billboard called it “one sweet triptych across the musical map”. The CD received rave reviews in Living Blues and Elmore Magazines and also resulted in a Murali Coryell feature in Guitar Player Magazine. Internet music lovers can listen to the Murali Coryell channel on Pandora. The official website is http://www.muralicoryell.com
The release and touring behind Murali Coryell’s latest CD release “Sugar Lips” has drawn praise from such music heavyweights as Jimmy Webb, Judy Collins and Joe Louis Walker.
Acclaimed by Billboard, CNN, Rolling Stone, & The New York Times, singer/guitarist/songwriter Murali Coryell is a rising force in contemporary American music. As the son of jazz guitar legend Larry Coryell and author/actress Julie Coryell and grandson of TV, film and stage actress Carol Bruce, Murali was born into an entertainment family. Murali has a voice, a guitar style and a musical intuition that enable him to excel at many different kinds of music. To quote Mark Uricheck in reviewing “Sugar Lips” in Living Blues Magazine “He can play beer-soaked blues until last call, and he can also hang with more pop-tinged material-think a grittier, bluesier John Mayer.”
“Murali’s latest CD “Sugar Lips” released November 17, 2009 reached # 5 on the Living Blues Radio Chart was recorded in Nashville with Grammy nominated producer Tom Hambridge featuring special guest stars Joe Louis Walker and Larry Coryell. The CD has also garnered features and rave reviews in Guitar Player Magazine, Elmore Magazine, Living Blues, and newspapers across the United States. Murali Coryell can be seen this year performing extensively as a featured artist with Joe Louis Walker. Murali has toured as the supporting act for B.B. King and played with Buddy Guy, Levon Helm, George Clinton, George Thorogood & Gavin DeGraw among others. Murali’s music can be heard on independent, college, blues, internet, Pandora and public radio. As a performer, songwriter and producer Murali has built up a body of hook laden classic and contemporary blues, rock and soul songs that have appeared in TV, film and been covered by other artists.
Over the course of multiple solo CD’s as well as in collaboration with his father Larry and brother Julian, Murali has recorded the songs of Sam Cooke, Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Charles Mingus and Marvin Gaye as well as the Chess Chicago blues classics on the CD co-produced by Marshall Chess “2120”. Murali’s voice and guitar has been heard on NBC’s TV show “Crossing Jordan”. Murali Coryell is a fully realized artist in complete control of a voice with soul to burn and the tastiest of guitar chops.

Ok, so if you did not catch Soule Monde at The Sexy and 17 Years of The Open Jam celebration at The Rhumb Line last Monday night, have no fear. Because, you can see them at MinglewoodTavern AtLat tonight Wednesday at The Dennis Monagle Sessions.
How awesome is that. Now I’m not one who is use to listening to music without vocals. Their music is like a whirlwind of sound so exciting and enticing you don’t need them. I got their CD and had to go out of town so I got to listen to the whole thing. It had me dancing in my seat and slightly rockin my head (didn’t want anyone to think I was having a seizure or something). I bet my son Michael will know exactly what I’m talkin about. Check them out here or go to the Russ Lawton website.
I totally love the live music scene here and all that it has to offer!
