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

MAR 4TH Fireside Chat Speaker Series @ Beauport Hotel Gloucester w/Captain Paul “Sasquatch” Cohan

Posted on by Joanne

Grab a drink, pull up a chair and listen to the tales of Captain Paul “Sasquatch” Cohan who made his living off the fierce ocean that is the fishing grounds of the North Atlantic.

Sasquatch has achieved an iconic stature in Gloucester through his 35 years captaining his own commercial fishing boats, his tireless fishing industry activism, and especially, his music. An acclaimed story-teller and songsmith, Sasquatch speaks from, and of the heart, and his boundless love of Gloucester. He is the quintessential “Gloucesterman” and it is verified by a style which he glibly refers to as “Gloustacana”, which embodies the heart and soul of The American Fisherman’s Home Port. His wit, his wisdom, and his “Sea Cred” are melodically woven into each of his spell-binding appearances. You will laugh and you will cry, and you’ll always remember your encounter with “Sasquatch”!

Space is limited, so please reserve your spot today for this FREE event by emailing our Concierge at concierge@beauporthotel.com. Be sure to mention your name and how many people will be attending. Light refreshments will be served. We hope you will join us for an engaging and lively discussion!

Wednesdays at The Rhumb Line ~ Bradley Royds hosts for the evening with Special Guest: Jake Pardee 7pm 2.20.2019

Your Guest Host: BRADLEY ROYDS!

photo by Sheila Roberts Orlando

Pictured here demonstrating unbelievably super-human brute strength, we see Bradley Royds
single-handedly preventing the collapse of an abandoned 4-story brick condo in Bar Do Abismo,
Portugal, where he has become a celebrated and worshipped folk hero. Odd, since he’s so
well-known for bringing DOWN the house wherever he performs. Lucky for us all, though, he’ll
be concentrating his amazing powers toward hosting this week’s Rhumb Line Wednesday
Extravaganza in my absence (I’ll be on a string of Orleans dates in California). Thank you,
almighty powerful Mr. Royds! Bradley’s musical guest this week will be the very talented and
popular Jake Pardee, a powerhouse in his own right (and write)!

Come and say hello to these products of a rare and special breed. Meanwhile, I’ll be looking forward to seeing all you
beautiful people next week. ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!

One of my all-time favorite songwriters, the great Liz Frame

biting lyrics, the girl simply tells it like it is – and kicks some
serious ass while she’s doing it. It is always an honor for me
to have the chance to sit in on such sharp material. Come

My Musical Guest: ELLEN FORD!

One of my favorite things about watching Ellen Ford perform
is the way adoring listeners seem to wrap her in a warm, fuzzy
blanket with their cheers and applause. It just so obviously
makes her feel loved, which she most certainly is… by us all.
Last time in, Ellen turned the entire evening into an utter joyfest.
Accompanied once again by the great Chick Marston, she’ll be
doing it all over again come Wednesday. Don’t miss this! ~ Fly

My Musical Guest: JOHN ROCKWELL!

And now… ladies and gentlemen… the one… the very only…

JOHN ROCKWELL!  Pictured here pretending he’s smoking the mic, John comes with an amazingly diverse bag of entertainment tricks.  Sometimes it seems he knows every song that was ever written – and, if he doesn’t know it, he plays it anyway.  Gotta love that! He’s positive.  He’s funny.

He’s handsome.  He’s the whole package, folks.  I’ll simply say… BE THERE! ~ Fly
