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,

Hello everyone!
Wednesday, January 11th
Special Guest: SASQUATCH!
In music as well as in life, this man has captured his own

It is my honor to bring Paul Cohan, a.k.a. SASQUATCH back
to the Rhumb Line once again. ~ Fly

Dave Sag’s Blues Party to host Sax Gordon Beadle @ The Rhumb Line this Thursday.
Dave says,
Well, this could be the best show we’ve ever put on. Somehow, world-famous Gordon “Sax” Beadle has been kind enough to grace our stage. This is a once- a-year (or less) event. Gordie is the wildest, gooiest sub-atomic purveyor of the frantic r&b style that we all know and love. The last time he was here, I had to get my fillings replaced. This guy is guaranteed to melt the elastic in your shorts. You snooze, you lose.
But wait! There’s more! At no extra cost to anyone, I’m throwing in Mr. Mark Earley, tenor and barium saxist xtroidinaire. Mark and Gordie are gonna play foozeball with their axes all night long! Pinning them down wherever possible will be that diaphanous drummmbler and Serutan® spokesmodel Mr. Edd Scheer. Of course, Mr. Greg T. and myself will be there offering first aid to anyone who needs it. Come early and stay late.
And for you folks in the joint replacement crowd, don’t forget next Monday there’s a free show at The Rose Baker Senior Center. From 1 till 3, the Good Old Salty Jazz Band performs your favorite hits from the 1920’s and 1930’s. Come dance to the boogie beat. You can even request a polka!

Former Gloucester Music Teacher Nominated for a Grammy!
About a month ago Debbie and Friends played at the Old Sloop Coffee House in Rockport, and put on a really great show for the kids. It turns out that Debbie used to be a music teacher from the Gloucester Public Schools – primarily at West Parish from 1987-1991. She then taught in Manchester from 1991-1993 before moving on to bigger and better things – like having a song on an album about bullying called “All About Bullies…Big and Small” that was nominated for a Grammy in 2011! The song is called “Walk Away”. Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wlWLwP6etE
Now she’s a pretty major talent in the world of Children’s Entertainment and has a wonderful repertoire of original music that engages kids that makes them want to sing and dance. Her videos are great, and cover some familiar ground by telling favorite children’s stories with music. Check out her You Tube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/debbiecavalier

Dave Says,
What a great time we had last thursday with the JK® experience! So, to keep it going ,we’re bringing back that tootin’ Torquemada of the tenor sax: Mr. Andrew Clark. AC always gets the blood movin’ and the feet groovin’ to that funky, ironic beat that can’t be beat. Like habeneros for your soul! He’ll be joined at the hip by Mr. Andrew Jones, fabulous meter man and pineal reconstruction specialist, on the skins, and, of course, Mr. Greg T. and myself will complete the circuit. So, don’t be a cube, rube; go ape!

John Keegan joins the Blues Party ~ This Thursday night at The Rhumb Line
Dave Says,
We’re gonna close out this notable year of 2011 by bringing you the world’s biggest…. the one and only Mr. John Keegan®. The greatest wowman in theworld! This guy practically invented the hangover! Gootarist, and vocal gunslinger, he’s sure to put a smile on your face as he pokes your eye out with a mikestand! Fencing masks recommended. But, seriously, folks, we’re trying to beat your liver into compliance in preparation of New Year’s Eve. Come dance to all the magic he can bring to your heart! And all you married guys: bring your wives for a change! And he’s bringin’ all his ants with him. Crawling up your leg will be an old buddy of mine, Mr. Paul Foss, gleeboard maven and author of the bestseller: “Chicken Soup for The Criminally Insane”. Crawling out of other places will be our Irish Ace Of Pace: Mr. “Molto” Benny Benson. Of course, Greg. T. and myself connect the dots. Rumor has it that millions of saxaphone poofters are showing up, just on accounta…we shall see. And doesn’t it suck that Lat 43 scuttled the Earley Show on Thursday evenings? Get mad! Write your congressman! Give up sushi!
