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,

Groove was off the wall as always, with Mark Pelosi, Vincent Briguglio, Jeff Arnold, Brian O’Connor, Dennis Monagle and James Buhrendorf sitting in. So much fun, people smiling, dancing, children and aldults hoola hooping, blowing bubbles, sun shining and a sweet breeze….What a great job Frank Hawks and John Silvera did with that sound!

Thursday night blues party @ The Rhumb Line to host Ricky “King” Russell
Thursday – 9:00 to 12:00 ~ Dave Sag’s Blues Party
Photo by Sharon Lowe
Dave Says,
It’s that time again! We’re gathering all the troops to pay obeisance to the king of the Boston blues Scene: Mr. Ricky “King” Russell. Approved by Pope John Paul Ringo! Everytime he plays here we gotta call in a hazmat team! I’m oiling down my bass in preparation for the great sleazy, cheesy, wheezy effluvium that’s gonna emanate from the throbbing stage. Master of the gritar, this guy will chase you back under your own personal rock where it won’t be safe to come out for weeks! You’ll see!
Unfortunately , his doppleganger on drums, Mr. Ed Scheer, is down with a bad case of St. Vitus dance, and coupled with unsuccessful cosmetic weenis surgery, won’t be able to hit a stick for several weeks. So a surprise drummer is in the pipeline, trying desperately to get out! Fortunately Mr. Greg T. and myself will be there, litter in tow, to assist in medical emergencies. The bombing will start in 5 minutes….

Here’s a blurb about the band.
Lamine Toure and Group Saloum
This concert is a benefit for Maritime Gloucester and the North Shore Jazz Project.
Last year Lamine and his band had everyone dancing on the docks. The North Shore Jazz Project mission is to create an environment on the North Shore where music education, performance and appreciation can flourish and Gloucester Maritime needs no introduction. Lamine Toure comes from a family of Griot’s in Senegal. He teaches African drumming at MIT in Cambridge, Ma. Don’t miss the waterfront dance party of the season.

Coyote Kolb @ MinglewoodAtLat43 9:00-12:00……Sweet!
I kind of feel like a kid let loose in a candy store knowing Coyote Kolb is coming to town tomorrow night. Also, that feeling as a child on Christmas eve, even. I get like that when I get to see what I consider a great band. So looking forward to seeing these guys. Don’t know if they will ever be back in town again. Come on out to see them 9:00 @ MinglewoodTavern AtLat. Check out the links and see what others have to say.
Coyote Kolb

Coyote Kolb
“Rubedo”
Friday night Coyote Kolb is coming to town. They will be MinglewoodTavern AtLat I can hardly believe it. The first and only time I got to see these guys was with three other bands one of whom I am hooked on big time. The Ten Foot Polecats….well thanks to them I met this band…went totally crazy and bought their CD right on the spot. I have listened to it over and over. I like their style, the way they look and most of all their sound. It’s all so different….rockin, Americana, country fried, sorrowful harmonic, and a wicked rockin blues effect.
I dedicate Royal Bug to my eldest grandson. When he hears it he will know why.
http://coyotekolb.bandcamp.com/track/royal-bug
Check em out. I like what these guys have to say about Coyote Kolb.
“There’s a deep-country vibe to Coyote Kolb’s sound, but they also rock fuzzed-out dirges like Neil Young has excelled at over the years. ” -CheapThrillsBoston
“an awesome blend of sound that oscillates between blues, folk, and what I would describe as roadhouse rock n’ roll.” -Prairie Shack Music
“Pure Rock n Roll Bluesy goodness.” – The Noise -Boston
Qwill Tonight @ MinglwoodAtLat43 9:00 – 12:00
Qwill is playing tonight July 4th at the Dennis Monagle sessions from 9:00-12:00 @ MinglewoodTavern AtLat .This is my favorite song that Jesse sings “Break In The Vine”. Talk about soothing the soul…….
Thursday night blues party @ The Rhumb Line to host Evan Goodrow 9:00 – 12:00
Dave says,
This week we feature slugger and home rum king, Mr. Evan Goodreau, our wily purveyor of groovy times and caustic guitarrberations. A busy guy, we’re glad to have him back. Always a vibrational experience. He always raises the stakes, then pounds them back into your heart! Lots of energy!
To keep the blood coursing will be our Irish Ace of Pace, Mr. Benny Benson with his muscle-bound ticking of the clock. Of course, Mr. Greg T.and myself will be standing by to cover any eventualities. Eat your wheaties!
