Now Serving, Wednesdays Only:
Prime Rib Specials!
Hello everyone!
Wednesday, March 30th
Special Guest: KATRIN!
Katrin, a rising star in North America and Europe, hails
from the Boston area. She is the embodiment of pure
talent… the likes of which we have not seen in a while.
Katrin weaves together an awe-inspiring voice, unbelievable
guitar skills (that are definitely not reflective of the self
taught musician that she is) and thought provoking lyrics
to captivate her listeners. Together, KATRIN and her band
consistently deliver on a promise: Audiences will be fixated
to a powerful, pure voice; tight and distinctive musical
arrangements and a group of friends that, bottom line,
just have a BLAST on stage together! Read more…

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
Help Celebrate the release of the Bandit Kings New Album ~ Live From Los Angeles
Gloucester’s own Bandit Kings have new live CD to celebrate about. If you feel like going over the bridge I am sure they would love to have you come and join them. This has to be one of the most liveliest bands that I have ever seen. Entertainment from the get go. They have some new songs that I love plus I got to here them do a great cover by The B 52″ Roam if you want to. Then Dan King blew my mind with “Shake your hips baby” Written and sung by Slim Harpo. It is a very rare occasion that there is not someone on the floor dancing to all these songs they put out. Just sitting there watching AnnMarie and Renee on stage is an invitation in itself.

Some words from Dave himself,
Well, it was nice to have a week off, but, screw that; let’s get back to work. Jobs! That’s what we musicians need. Without this gig I’d have 10 less dollars a week to squander on foolishness, such as food. Hope I don’t break a string.
I’ve been bending over backwards (and falling down a lot) to bring you the finest in sustainable egologically sound sound. No misprint, there. Thanx for your continual support. Let’s see what we have for you this time around….
Hmmm, by Jove, I think we got her. Yes, it’s a Done deal: After a long hiatus, let’s welcome back Ms. Diane Blue, Demiurge and Octomom of the Blues. Possibly my favorite frontperson, and a killer harmonicat, to boot. Sings like an angel, walks and talks, too. She’ll be dragging in her entire repertoire for your musical consideration. Make ya wanna dance. Me, I’m leaving the cane home , but I’m bringing my crozier!
Rounding off the ensemble we have the apoplectic Mr. John Hyde, jazz snob and loving husband, on keyboards and demented tri-tones. He just got his beret blocked…somebody help me. We’re gonna have a shoe-tying contest at first break. Of course Greg T. and myself will be there. Behind the closed curtains will be Mr. Roger Brocklebank, on skins and concussion, eating his way thru the entire menu. This’ll be a fun time. Wipe your chin and come on down!
On other fronts, I’ve been looking to update and enlarge my email list. Many of the addresses I have don’t work anymore. So, if you think of it, send me updated addresses, or names of friends who might like these mumbly missives. I don’t do FaceBook: I have enough friends who don’t need me to help them waste their time. And thanks to Good Morning Gloucester for printing my weeny rants. See Ya!

“Andrew’s Crew” Fundaiser at Jalapinos This Wednesday March 9, 2011
Hi Joey,
My 2-year old son, Andrew Johnson, is a happy, outgoing, gutsy boy who has End Stage Renal Disease. He will receive one of my kidneys on March 29th at the MassGeneral Hospital for Children. We are walking in the National Kidney Foundation Walk this May at the Franklin Park Zoo. Our walk team, “Andrew’s Crew”, is holding a fundraiser this Wednesday at Jalapeno’s. 10% of the profits will go to the Andrew’s Crew team.
The “Andrew’s Crew” National Kidney Foundation page gives a nice history of Andrew:
Also, the Boston Herald has been following him. They will have another article around transplant time. Here are a couple of the articles from last year:
I would really appreciate it if you could publicize the Jalapeno’s fundraiser if you have the space.
Thank You!
Tara Johnson

I totally love Mike O’Connell,
If you love the Allman Brothers you will love the Mike O’Connell Band. Not only does the band do a mean “Whipping Post” they go into some pretty wild rock, leaning to the more psychedelic side, as well. You should hear some of the guitar solos. Mike and the band have been known to lay down some hot Southern Rock and I mean smokin hot. At most of the gigs they offer up some ZZ Top, Tom Petty and even reggae stuff. I remember a while back at the Dog Bar when the band did a couple of Door’s tunes “Riders On The Storm and “Soul Kitchen” it blew me away. I was thinking this is way better than the Doors, really and it could never be reproduced like that again, and it hasn’t. It was just one of those moments. There are some originals on his music page that I wish he would share more often. “Eyes Wide Open”, “Hard Bargain” and “Stars” are a just a few.
