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

Dinner Specials Each Week!
Wednesday, February 7th – 7pm
My Musical Guest: BILL GLEASON!

I like to call him “Howlin’ Bill Gleason” because he’s every
bit as real and genuine as any of the howlin’ blues legends of
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!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest

Wednesday, January 24th – 7pm
My Musical Guest: CHICK MARSTON!

American folk blues master, Chick Marston comes back to
do it all over again. Simple and to the point, Chick’s perfect
sense of time and rhythm brings us into a world shared by
true legends such as Doc Watson, Jelly Roll Morton, Merle
Travis, Leadbelly and so many, many more. All should
drop by whenever Mr. Marston is in the house, and… if you
happen to be a musician, well, bring a big notepad. ~ Fly

Whoa! Check out the lineup for tonight @ Dave Sag’s Blues Party at The Rhumb Line. 8:30pm 1.18.2018

Posted on by Joanne

 

Dave says,

This Thursday at the Rhump Line, it’s Musical Clamfest Time as I welcome back Mr. John Keegan® and his band of roving assassins. You think you know him from Madhouse™ but you don’t know squat till you see him with such heavy firepower as Brian Alex (Wow! Master instigator of the band Entrain), Mark Earley (again in a dual role as Santy Clause and Sonar Splitter), and Benny Benson (our Irish Ace of Pace). No-one can predict what will happen, but MIT has assembled a team to try to detect Dark Matter as a result of hearing loss in ecstatic cling.

Sasquatch Tonight with Fly Amero 7pm @ The Rhumb Line 1.10.2018

Dinner Specials Each Week!
Wednesday, January 10th – 7pm
My Musical Guest: SASQUATCH!

 

His given name is Paul Cohan, but we all lovingly know him
as the one and only Sasquatch. He is a true citizen and
friend of our fair city and its community. His profound anthem,
“Wrapped in the Arms of Gloucester” is honestly one of the most
moving pieces of all the Rhumb Line performances I’ve witnessed
over these many years. Paul makes us laugh and he makes us
cry – and sometimes, he even makes us cry with laughter. ~ Fly
