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

A Holiday Tradition: THE AMERO FAMILY CHRISTMAS!

We’ve been doing this Rhumb Line show on the last Wednesday before Christmas since 2009. It’s really
an extension of a Christmas Eve family tradition the Amero kids grew up with in South Essex, singing
songs in the back room (known as “Moulty’s Inn”) of the old house on Southern Avenue. Mother Moulty
was e’er the festive, gracious host, and every hippy who ever hitch-hiked Cape Ann in funky Walter Dyer
moccasins was, over one season or another, in attendance. I learned a lot of guitar from Chick Marston
on those nights. And the late, great Andrew Doran closed many them at the kitchen table in the wee hours,
draining the final abandoned bottles while discussing the “new world order”. This will be our first Christmas
without him, and he is sorely missed indeed. But, life goes on, as does The Amero Family Christmas! ~ Fly

Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
The Rhumb Line Kitchen……now features Janet Brown with some new and healthy ideas!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!

Looking forward……to seeing you there 🙂

Cheryl Arena Tonight! Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ The Rhumb line 8:309m 10.19.2017

Posted on by Joanne

 

First, a shout out for Skip Hart, everybody’s favorite music fan. Got so used to seeing him every Thursday. Always an incisive comment and a double-dare to “go look it up”. I’m sorely going to miss him trundling through the door every week and throwing my own weight back in my face! RIP, Skip, we’ll all miss you.

And if you’re not tired of me yet, come wail with Ms. Cheryl Arena this Thursday at the Rhumb Line, where men are men and…well, skip it. Ms. C is a huge draw around here and I’m looking forward to stub my toe on her gargantuan amplifier.

She sings, she plays a divine harmonica and she’s bringing my favorite buffalo Bill lookalike: Mr. Pete Henderson to play quick draw guitar. Also on the bill is Mr. Forrest “Frosty”  Padgett, who just had surgery to remove a hip bone connected to the thigh bone. Once I stop laughing and sneezing, it’s gonna be just like fun!
