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,

play music.
Well, I’ve just about recovered from last week’s musical onslaught perpetrated
by the ghosts of New Orleans past, and I’m ready to lick my wounds and hobble
onward to the next big show. So, for your glistening and dancing pleasure, I
bring you Mr.Justin Quinn and his merry band of miscreants. Ace harpist and
vogargler,J. and the boys are frequent guests here and are sure to give you ants
in the pants. He always tears up the place.
Helping him out will be his longtime glitarist and doppleganger, Mr. Jon Ross. Jon’s a multigrain musician, proficient on at least 13,000 instruments, but we’re holding him down to guitar, this time. Li’l “Steevee” Chaggaris will be doing drumm dooties, scrambling eggs and cackling like a hen, as usual. Of course, Greg T. will be back with his
newly blocked hat, and me, too, on bass.
And don’t forget, it’s Cajun night on Thursdays. Fred and Trooper bring you the finest Creole dishes at a reasonable price to give you that xtra burst of whoop-de-do for the dance floor.
Bon Ton Roulez!

Music On Rocky Neck This week
Bandit Kings ~ Dog Bar ~ Saturday
This Thursday Night Blue’s Party at The Rhumb Line to host John Keegan
This time around we welcome back Mr. John Keegan® ,uvula waggler and leader of men. Johnny K. has been very busy of late, what with his myriad musical machinations and Ebay Defcon Fives. We’re lucky to have him in one piece. He’ll be pointing the bone at you all night long. Its gonna be a dancin’ nite, so wear your thong and your Dr. Scholl’s. You’re gonna need ’em.
Blacking him up and chain smoking will be Mr. Gym Gwin, Fred’s brother (again!) on eggbeaters and symbols. He’s recuperating nicely from that conductor’s baton attack last week. None dare call it acnepuncture! John Hyde, jazz snob and loving husband, will be doing keyboard dooties. He’ll be a little tardy, cuz he has a late appointment at the tattoo parlor, getting ” Sandi” shot onto his forehead. Roomer has it that some mysterious sexophone guy might show up, too…who knows?
Of course, Greg T. will be there, vacuuming the gene pool, and me, too, on base, and ready to steal third…
Steak nite is over, brought to its demise since several noted Republican friends of Fred have disappeared mysteriously. So, Fred and Trooper have instigated “Cajun Nite”.This sounds truly great! so, this week, the Rhumb Line is offering a choice of jambalaya or popgun shrimp all at the unbelievable price of $8.95. while it lasts. Fred has installed seat belts on all the chairs. Troop is a really great cook, and plays a mean sax, to boot. The food is really good, you really oughta czech it out. Sure beats ordering that worm pizza at Domino’s. Free bibs for all you droolers. Do it!
Hoodoo Revelator is back and their gonna have a real good time @ The Dog Bar July 29!
