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

Tonight! Cheryl Arena joins the Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line 8:30pm 3.8.2018

Posted on by Joanne

 

Ms. Cheryl Arena returns to the Rhumb Line with her disgraceful vagabonds to drop the sword of Damocles on your head. With Mr. Pete “Moss” Henderson on catarrh (and vocals) and red hot drummbler Mr. Forrest “Tucker” Padgett. Fresh out of surgery where we all got our eustachian tubes tied, the night promises to be an open sore on the closed minds of the infidels of the Blooze.Don’t miss it! 830 to 1130.

Wednesdays with Fly Amero @ The Rhumb Line ~ Michael Gallagher is retiring and there is a grand send off tonight! 7pm 2.28.2018

Posted on by Joanne

Wednesday, February 28 – 7pm
THE RHUMB LINE
40 Railroad Avenue
Gloucester, MA
My Special Musical Guests: EVERYONE!

After 37+ amazing years of bartending at the Rhumb Line, the great Michael Gallagher has decided to retire. In tribute to his longstanding impeccable quality, character and integrity, every Wednesday musical guest we’ve ever hosted has asked to appear to perform personal dedications for his final bar shift. There are some, of course, who will not be able to be with us, but they do send sincere regrets and undying love. There will be a card for us all to sign, and I’ve actually written a little special something for the occasion. Anyway, it promises to be a great send-off for a truly great person, so we’re expecting it to be busy. Please try to come early and grab a good seat for the spectacle you are about to witness! Hail to thee, Michael Gallagher! You are loved and will be missed! ~ Fly

The great Michael Gallagher, ladies and gentlemen…

Some of the evening’s guests: J.B. Amero ; David Brown ; Allen Estes ; Ed Daley ; Orville
Giddings ; Sasquatch ; Chick Marston ; Dan King ; Brian King ; Bill Gleason ; Toni Ann Enes ;
Tom Eaton ; Inge Berge ; Ron Schrank ; Bradley Royds ; Tony Frontiero ; Elaine O’Rourke

My Musical Guest: BILL GLEASON!

I like to call him “Howlin’ Bill Gleason” because he’s every

American pop culture history we all grew up listening to. He
sits on a low chair and delivers 12-string blues with a raspy,
soulful growl. We are all students in his presence. ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
