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

Bradley Royds @ Giuseppe’s every Thursday for the Month of June.

Poster by Louise

Bradley Royds has spent the last year recording and producing some of the North Shore’s finest musicians. Now he is switching gears! As the summer rolls out, Bradley will be releasing a steady stream of his own recordings, both old and new, and don’t miss him as he throws himself headlong in to the live music scene. Be there every Thursday’s 8:00 to 11:00  for the month of  June at Giuseppe’s.

Thursday night blues party @ The Rhumb Line to host Cheryl Arena

Posted on by Joanne

Dave says,

I gotta keep it short and sweet this week cuz the vodka tanker truck is due any minute, so here goes:
Back for a rondezvous with destiny is that fabulous femme fatale: Ms. Cheryl Arena. Yep, she’s back up here in the northwoods once again, and ready to chase you back to whatever evil world you come from. Throw vocals, harmonica, and charisma in a 55 gallon drum of water, add an outboard motor, and there she is!
And furthermore, the band is really cool. We all have mental goatees. First off is John Cameron Swazee, who takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’, on piano and mood organ. Way kool. Then there’s Mr. Ed, Scheer, that is , on drumulators and random gargling. And the dystopic duo of Gregg Tee and Dave Sag on gritarrh and bass. Oops, I must dash: truck is here.

Hello everyone!

Over the years, the Rhumb Line has certainly become my home

through.  Such will be the case on this week’s Wednesday…
although friends and guests are, as always, welcome to join in!
