Hi Folks ~ Want you to know I’ll be at Cafe Shalom this coming Saturday, February 5.  New venue, should be lots ‘o fun.  Details below… ~ Fly 

Gloucester, MA – Temple Ahavat Achim, 33 Commercial St. in Gloucester, continues to bring back its popular coffeehouse, Café Shalom, on February 5, from 7:30 to 10:30 PM, with an evening of contemporary acoustic music including folk, blues, rhythm and blues and jazz. Café Shalom will serve hot beverages and snacks. All are welcome; there is no dress or age requirement and families are welcome.  Refreshments will be available.  Admission is $10 at the door, doors open at 7 PM.

Recording artist, Fly Amero will be the featured performer. Left-handed, upside-down guitarist/singer/journeyman Dennis “Fly” Amero finds his musical roots deep within the vast genres of the ’60’s pop revolution. Influences range from Bob Dylan to James Brown to Roy Orbison to Aretha Franklin… and just about everything in between. Fly finds himself onstage as a dynamic solo and frontman performer, and offstage as a writer and record producer.  Fly is currently touring as a member of Orleans and fronts the thrilling rock/blues act known as “The Big Strum”.

The opening act is David Wesson.  David is singer/songwriter Wesson and is the force behind bands The Emergence and The Dark Matters.  He infuses stripped down progressive rock with sounds of the sacred.  Though rooted in American rock forms, his music and lyrics are deeply spiritual and without irony.  Wesson has played at Harper’s Ferry, The Cylcorama at the Boston Center of the Arts, The Middle East, and The Grog.

Café Shalom offers evenings of music in a relaxed coffee house atmosphere with no dress or age requirement.
The doors open at 7, and music begins at 7:30, plenty of free parking.  Call the Temple at 978-281-0739 x11 with questions.

Hello GMG!

Just wanted to drop y’all a line about Jenny Dee’s first 2011 show in Gloucester this Friday (1/28) at The Rhumb Line.  We wrapped up the year playing at Symphony Hall as  part of First Night (opening for Bettye LaVette), but we’re excited to get back on our home turf!  We’re playing 3 sets starting at 9:30pm, ending at 12:30am.

Thanks!
Samantha

Thursday – 9:00 to 12:00 ~ Dave Sags Blues Party

From, Mr. Dave Sag himself,

Many people still enquiring about my hellth, thank you. But I haven’t got any. I’m still suffering from pulmonary symbolism and shortness of pants.  A  dear friend (but a nutcase) recommended I take large doses of that homeopathic standby: Guernica. And even though my girlfriend has been taking it for weeks, she still  hasn’t touched me. Alor!
On other fronts, we have fun for you this week, and dancing, too, as we take Mr. Brad Foucher out of his box and wind him up. You know Brad: that martini proven, hellzapoppin’  Squanto of song, glitarist, and vocalmaster deeluxe.  He’ll be the guy in the corner in the orange jumpsuit.
Behind him, pumping furiously will be Rockport’s answer to Tommy Lee: Mr. Greg Dann, on the skins. Of course, my factotum, Mr. Greg Tower will be there as well as myself. Come early and help us wheel in my iron lung.

Wednesday -8:00 – 11:00

Thursday – 9:00 to 12:00 ~ Dave Sags Blues Party with special guest Evan Goodrow

From Mr. Dave Sags himself,

Hubba, Hubba,  girls, and those of the female persuasion: he’s back!  He’s escaped the event horizon, eaten ten hits of oxymoron, strapped on his titanium codpiece, and he’s comin’ after you! I’m talking ’bout that pulse racing, rubber-hose wielding divo of rhythm and bliss, Mr. Evan Goodreau. Last seen in these parts a while ago, it’s taken months to wipe the smile offa evrybody’s face. Now, put it back on, cuz he’s comin’ to town and he wants YOU, the viewer to  split your lip in  heavenly ecstacizm and zizz to the loopy beet. Ask your doctor if HonkyJive® is right for you.
Meanwhile, Mr. Gym Gwin, Fred’s brother, will be playin’ the eggbeaters and stirrin’ soup behind him, tryin’ to figger out a way to take K. L. out, or at least expose him as a swish. We know it’s true. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BAND.
Of course Greg T. with his hat, and myself , on base, will attempt the impossible. Do czech it out.
Many busy executives ask me how I can go on and do this “creative” writing every week. I can’t really eggsplain it, but here’ what to do: Make yourself an Ice-cold martini (or three), sit down, and let ‘er rip! Usually works for most authors, so, give it a try. Nothin’ like black and white! Stay tuned!
