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
Chris + Joe (Chris Langathianos and Joe Wilkins), a Cape Ann-based duo with deep roots in the Greater Boston music scene, are known for their tight harmonies, thoughtful songs, and engaging banter. Joe, a multi-instrumentalist, expert songwriter, and producer, teamed up with vocalist and producer, Langathianos, in 2013 a, and they have continued to capture audiences with their easy and melodic, yet diverse, style and approachable sets.
From easy melodic folk to contemporary pop and rock, Chris + Joe bring a new twist to old favorites, mixed with deeply personal, award-winning originals, and a side of self-deprecating audience engagement.
Here is a video of Joe’s song When The Moon Rises Over Skibbereen: https://youtu.be/3VR7IuTYbMY. Ironically, this video was Joe’s submission to NPR’s Tiny Desk contest. He did not win — Alisa Amador, who performed for us a few nights ago, won.

Thursday at the Rhummie: the fabulous tag team of Tony and Sam Goddess. Often known as the Goddesses, it’s always a blast to play with these well-rehearsed practitioners of aural s*** and transcendental medication. Plus it’s a pretty groovey band featuring Mr. John Cameron on the keys, the cackling drummer Mr. Steve Chaggaris, and myself, of course. Yes! i’m back…and I’m beautiful….hope to see you there. hours 7 to 10.
