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

Mike OConnell Tonight with long time music buddy Mr. Jim Perry, of Worcester and Mr. Chris Anzelone on drums and don’t forget Dear Ol Dave Sag’s @ The Rhumb Line 8:30pm 9.7.2017

Posted on by Joanne

Like the Feen-a-mint® rising from its ashes to serve another day, I’m back . Been a little sick this last few days but now I’m available again to clue you in about this week.

Thursday at the Rhummie where Mr. Mike OConnell drops in for another mile-high jaunt into the blues. Always a pleasure, we get to play stuff that Mikey doesn’t usually do, and have a blast doing it. Not only that, but a longtime former musical crony of his: Mr. Jim Perry, of Worcester, crawls in to help out. Another fabulous glitarist and vogellist for your musical amusement. Our usual drummbler is having his leg replaced so in his stead we have Mr. Chris Anzelone (sono buoni), a riveting riveter in his own write, to help out. gonna be a lotta fun. Dave Sag

I have possibly the most dangerous band of the year. I call ‘em the Seasick Dyna-Sores, but we’re really just musical friends. We’re gonna crank out some serious Dixie and Trad Jazz. Six guys, no waiting. three horns, three rhythm players and many vocals. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON’T MISS THIS.

My Special Guests: DOWN HOME SWING!

Such a treat for us all to have Downhome Swing as our Rhumb Line music guests… for so many reasons. First off, the level of musicianship is totally off the charts. Marston by himself is a treasure. Add that Laurie and Ellen have such a natural vocal blend, you’d swear they were sisters! And… we of course must take full advantage of the limited time we have each year with the Keefes before they head back to St. John. Yes, we are lucky! ~ Fly
