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
Looking to get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit? Come grab a drink and get your feet moving at this Thursday’s Upstairs on Main concert starring Cape Ann’s own Michael O’Leary!
*For the first half of the evening, Michael and his stellar bandmates will play a set of traditional Irish songs and tunes. For the second half, they will open it up to others to sit in with them in an informal Irish céili, so bring your fiddles, flutes, bouzoukis, guitars, whistles and pipes and join us for the “ceol agus craic” – Irish for “music and fun!”
We have now booked our first month of amazing local artists! We will now have live music every Wednesday and Sunday. Come in and enjoy all that we have to offer. See you on the green
355 Gloucester Crossing Rd, Gloucester, MA, United States, Massachusetts
Tonight’s show is CANCELLED due to illness within the band. We apologize to Minglewood Harborside and to all our fans, but this situation is unavoidable.

The February 3rd concert features a young woman who Celene and I saw at a Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. She impressed us mightily, and we have been looking forward to this show. Her name is Joy Clark, she was born and raised in New Orleans and still lives there, and she’ll be accompanied by two more terrific musicians from New Orleans. The concert page, with more information and links for tickets, is at https://oldslooppresents.org/performance/joy-clark-2024
Here is a video of Joy performing her song One Step in the Right Direction:

Erelli turns adversity into finely embroidered rock songs that burn with urgency on his 2023 album Lay Your Darkness Down. Following full-bodied rock forebears Tom Petty, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison, Erelli’s songwriting explores the unknown glories of this planet and love’s transformational power. Mark will be joined by Andrew Stern on electric guitar and a very special guest on keyboards. Visit https://oldslooppresents.org for tickets and more information.
Here is a video of Mark performing By Degrees with some friends at the 2018 American Honors event at Austin City Limits.
