Last minute shout out,  that Kingsley Flood will be playing The Rhumb Line tonight from 9:30 pm to 12:30 am

I absolutely love Kingsley Flood and have since the first time I got to hear them play.  They bring something new to the plate American Roots ( lively folk) with a little bit of a country thing going on. You have to admit there is some pretty fine knee slapping music here.  I got the CD “Dust Windows” a while ago and played it over and over again, also sharing it with others. They seem to like it a lot. I personally think they have a masterpiece here. When you can listen to it in the car for over and hour singing along it’s great.  My favorite songs are and it’s hard to choose from them all  Cul de Sac, Back in the back, Devil’s arms and When I grow up. They seem to get me to the dance floor a lot faster than the others. Listening to their CD it’s like everything is in the right place, especially the fiddle. Check out their songs I am sure that you will agree. http://www.myspace.com/kingsleyflood

Come out and treat yourself to some real fine music.

From Mr. Dave Sags,

I’m shuffling off to Baltimore this week to see the Redsox, so i’m turning it over to Greg, who’s bringing in his awesome band, BAD MOON RISING.  sort of a Credence cover band with a fruity taste and a slight oak finish. All your faves will be there: Dave brown on gootar, Dave Synchromattacks, on skins, and Johnny P. on bass and vocals. Have fun! See you next week with LISA MARIE!

Myspace page ~ About Bad Moon Rising
Bad Moon Rising is New England’s premier Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute act, honoring one of the greatest American Rock bands in history.

This band is comprised of all veteran musicians with the collective experience of tens of thousands of live performances spanning over three decades, locally, nationally and internationally.

This is not just another sound alike act. The original recordings are not just copied here. The Swamp rock sound is emulated with great respect to historical mood and feel. CCR reached their pinnacle of success during the Vietnam era. This was a tumultuous time in American history and CCR’s raw, soulful power contributed prominently to the soundtrack in American life.

These well loved classics are performed with stellar execution. The recordings on this site were made without any of the high-tech digital editing we’ve all become accustom to; no pitch correction, nudging of tracks or machines were used, just live musicians playing live music. The same way the original recordings were made.

Close your eyes and be transcended to an age when America was in flux, Rock ‘N’ Roll was young and all the world was rocking out to Creedence Clearwater Revival.

CHELSEA BERRY
Walk With Me
10-song CD

Ms. Berry’s voice is heard to evincing effect on numbers such as the lovely “Walk With Me” and the mesmeric “The One I’ve Waited For,” and fans of Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks will find a great deal to like in these particular compositions. Otherwise, overall this seems a largely anodyne collection of sometimes overly solipsistic confessional songs and character pieces, though never less than competently executed. Her compositions are often jazzy and melodic in a restrained fashion, which is seldom the cause of any undue offense, yet also all too seldom evocative of any particular sense of wonder. (Francis DiMenno)

From the very first time I heard Chelsea Berry’s song  ” The One I’ve Waited For”  I said this should be number one on the charts. It is number one in my mind along with ” Walk With Me”.  Being a romantic I can easily get caught up in her music. Chelsea’s songs hit home in many ways and I am sure once you have listened to them you  will certainly agree. Check out the links to get a taste of Chelsea’s music.
