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
“Five Wheel Drive” performs selected material from such artists as Eric Clapton, The Beatles, David Bowie, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, John Hiatt, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, etc. with a couple of original songs sprinkled in. I’m really looking forward to seeing them! 📷 Jill Montoni
