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
Music Around Town ~ June 7 – 13, 2010

I am wicked excited that the Monday night jam is back. I have to say that I loved hearing The Bandit Kings and Chelsea Berry over the past few months. They took the place of the jam and gave us some extraordinary music.
During these jams you get some magical moments from musicians that are there to let loose with no planned agenda. Thank you to Dan King for hosting this and to Fred Shrigley for making it possible.

From Mr Dave Sags who host the Thursday night blues jam @ The Rhumb Line,
This week, the Big Dupa Polka Club of Crakow is proud to present The Justin Quinn Band in all its glory. Justin, harmonicat xtroidinaire and vocalizer, will be channelling Lil Walter and Sonny Boy all nite long. Flushing him out will also be Jon Ross, gootar avatar, Greg T, on hat, meself, and that maniacal three-armed drummer, Mr. Per Hanson. We’re gonna burn it down! Bring some ribs; they’ll cook all by themselves!

We have info from the band called “Scarlet” who will be performing at the Dogbar this Saturday night,
Well, after losing our home-away-from-home (Elliot’s @ the Blackburn), we think we have found a new home just down the street at t.he Dogbar. We will be there this Saturday, May 29th. Unfortunately, our lead singer Theresa has sustained a broken ankle and will not be able to perform. Filling in for her, will be Megan Downey from the “Megan McKenzie Band” as well as “Mother Ton”.
(We’ve been practicing like crazy! 🙂
If your are looking for some great entertainment this Memorial Weekend, come on down and help support live music. Plus, you just never know who might stop by to sit in with us….
The Dogbar is located at 65 Main Street, Gloucester, MA

The Open Door ~ Empty Bowl Dinner
This was my first time to Open Door ~ Empty Bowl Dinner. What an excellent turn out. All the volunteers were smiling . I was amazed at the huge choice of hand crafted bowls . We had our choice of soups, beverages, breads and cookies. I had the clam chowder from Amelia’s, cobble bread from Alexanders bread. Lemon gray iced tea and got a chocolate cookie with macadamia nuts in it that has not been eaten yet. I plan to attend next year one way or another. I hope you can make next time too.

Da One8 Is back @ Latt43

Thursday Night Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line
From Mr. Dave Sags himself,
Something new this time around: let’s all be surprised and welcome Ms. Cheryl Arena to our stage.
( http://www.myspace.com/cherylarena ) .
According to Ed Scheer, our diaphaneous drummbler and gargling vogalist, she’s the bee’s knees, the cat’s meow. She sings; she dances; she does it all. She’s visiting the area (or arena), so let’s give her a warm welcome.
Backing up this agglomeration will be John Hyde,loving husband and jazz snob, on keys, Edd Schmeer, on drums and vocals, and,of course, Greg T. on catarrh. I’ll be there,too.

Description
Funbucket returns to Cameron`s, where we first bamboozled, I mean, “persuaded, the management into letting us “perform”, as it were. Well, finally, all is forgiven, so we`ll be back this Saturday night. Mr. Bogus said he`ll try to restrain himself from doing too much “relic-ing” on his guitars this time. Three of `em aged 10 years in one night this past Tuesday…Ah, but that`s a story for another time, Boys and Girls. Come on out to Cameron`s and maybe see something like what`s in the picture…whatever the hell THAT is!

Music at the Dog Bar

The Dog Bar
65 Main St,
Gloucester 978-281-6565
Saturday, May 8 9-12 p.m.
You have to be well behaved all week, but Saturday is your night to play. Kick the family out and join The Gloucester Beatles, the singing Baird Bros. to dance the night away, singing along to songs you haven’t heard for decades but you know every word to them. Songs that no other band will dare play, but wish they could. Eat, drink and be merry at Dog Bar, Gloucester’s rock’n’roll livingroom – the former White Rainbow – it’s nothing but fun. Rave Reviews from the recent battle of the Bands bring the Tide in on a roll.
