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

My Musical Guest: DAN KING!

Here in the wake of the NFL’s biggest day, I feel it noteworthy to mention our good friend, Dan King (pictured here with his former (and much, much older) coach, has in fact been in a Super Bowl of his own – that as a member of Gloucester High’s famous and historic Fightin’ Fishermen.  The place was Foxboro’s then Sullivan Stadium.  The year was, I believe, 1987.  But, you can ask him for details yourself when you get to the Rhumb Line this Wednesday at 7pm.  And, guess what?  You can also have a great, great time listening to him do his cool, cool thang. Rah-rah!  Go Fishermen! ~ Fly

My Musical Guest: LIZ FRAME!

 

 

When it comes to singing, songwriting and overall live performance,
this gifted artist delivers a knock-out punch every single time. The
one and only Liz Frame returns for this week’s Rhumb Line Wednesday
show. She and I have become fast friends over the years since brother
J.B. urged me to bring her into our little fold. Through that period of time,
I was able to join on one of her fundraisers and she, along with her band
The Kickers, was able to open for one of my Orleans shows. To put it
simple, we just “get” each other. Time to start taking advantage of this
unusually warm January by coming out for the really GOOD stuff. Who
knows what cold, cold spring may yet again be in store? ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
