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

Monday, May 2 – Jalapenos Benefit Featuring LIVE MUSIC by ColdStream

Posted on by Joanne

Hi Joey,

My husband and I subscribe to Good Morning Gloucester – it has really helped us get acclimated to the area. Thank you! Love your pics and updates.

I am a repeat Breast Cancer 3 Day walker – I have walked the 60 miles in Boston in July of 2009 & 10 and I am now preparing for the July 2011 walk. I will be doing a benefit at Jalapenos on Monday evening, May 2. We will have live music from 6:30-9 pm by ColdStream. I was wondering if you might add this event to your live music section? As you probably know, Jalapenos donates 10% of their proceeds from these benefits, which is very generous!

Monday, May 2 – Jalapenos Benefit Featuring LIVE MUSIC by ColdStream – a 4 piece acoustic band made up of 2 guitarists, a bass player and a mandolin player. They specialize in three and four part harmonies. Their music ranges from soft rock to pop, soul, Irish, Americana, country, English folk and classic rock. They are a staple in the southern New Hampshire restaurant circuit playing to warm receptions everywhere. 6:30 – 9 pm

Thanks for any shout out you can provide. If you have other promotional ideas, please let me know!

Best,
Liz Dooley

This band has been touring all over the map. Just recently being signed on with Hillgrass Blue billy Records They made an appearnce in Somerville  at The Rosebud Diner last weekend along with four other bands,   Tokyo Tramps, Ray Cashman, Pork Chop Willie, and Kent Burnside. It was one of the most liveliest shows I have ever been to. Hopefuly you can make it over the bridge to check them out. If you love to dance they make it very easy with their upbeat Mississippi Delta Rockabilly style music. When ever, where ever, if I can make it I am so there. Blues like I like it.

AnnMarie at present is with the hot new band, The Bandit Kings. She also sings with another band, Safety.  I have had the opportunity to see AnnMarie on many occasions. Her stage presence is like no other and so full of energy, not to mention the vocals. Most of the time you can catch her with the Bandit Kings at the first part of the open jam and closing the night at the Rhumb Line in Gloucester on Mondays. Check out their website to see where the gigs are and to listen to their songs. They have a couple of CD’s out, and I am happy to say that I have them in my possession.

The Everly Sisters
An acoustic female duet, one a fingerstyle guitarist the other a Patsy Cline enthusiast, both harmonizing to the songs of the lengendary vocalists of the 60’s era, especially a well studied repertoire of Phil & Don Everly hits.  Their acoustic style is intriguing and relaxing, bringing a refreshing new sound to many classic hits from the 60’s to the 80’s.  Both blues singers at heart, they expand their repetoire to also include folk, soft rock, oldies the Beatles and especially the Everly Borthers

 

Thursday night blues party to host Evan Goodrow

Posted on by Joanne

THIS WEEK  I’m pleased to present the return of  Mr. Evan Goodreau. Movie star, jongleur, and all-weather breakfast. He sings, he plays, he winks, he drinks. Always gives me a hard time.
Pushing from behind will be that card-carrying time bomb, the redoubtable Forrest “Tucker” Padgett on skins and bones. And,as usual, my foodtaster Greg T. on catarrh and myself on base will be rounding off this agglutination to the nearest neuron.  It’ll be quite entertaining.
