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

Check out what’s new @ Cape Ann Auction Emporium at 8 Lexington Ave in Magnolia.
Rumors of my death are greatly exagerated – Mark Twain
The above Mark Twain quote is one of my favorites and I’ve wanted to use it for a long time. I’ve never had a reason to do so – until now.
Recently you may have heard that Cape Ann Auction was going out of business. Let me put those rumors to bed.
Cape Ann Auction is NOT going out of business.
Far from it!
Last August we opened the Cape Ann Auction Emporium at 8 Lexington Ave in Magnolia.
That store has been very busy. As many happy customers will attest we are stocked with a lot of great treasures and all prices have room for dealers to make $
Between the store and the many house-calls we’ve had for buying merch., it’s been necessary to slow down our schedule for auctions & other events.
At any given time we may announce an auction, but the growth of the store is demanding all of our energy right now.
In fact:
It looks like we’ll be expanding to a bigger space next door to #6 Magnolia Ave! More on that as it develops.
Also in the wings is a revamp of our 4000+ page website at http://www.auctionwally.com
and our http://www.capeannauction.com
The sites will be more interactive with planned special events at the store!
What’s New in the Store?
We’ve recently acquired a nice selection of fine art:

Vera Eugenia Andrus (1896-1979)
Well known Rockport MA artist
We have 8 of these large hand-carved panels by a Russian artist.
What can we do for you?
Do you want to sell your quality items?
We just sold this Guy Bardone ($2,000) for a client and we can help you sell your fine art too!
Something for everyone!
We do have plenty of bargain price deals such as our
“All for One Price Outdoor Sale Table”
Right now, we have dozens of antiques & collectibles on that table at $3.00 each or 2/$5.00
We would GREATLY appreciate it if you could help us out and spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, OTB, email,… carrier pigeon.

Dave says,
A special treat for you this week as I welcome back Johnny Carwash: Mr. Bobby Davis. Long a staple in the gloucester scene, Bob’ll have you rollicking in your Snapjax , pedal to the metal,playing your favorite instrumental hits long made popular on your Zenith® stereophonic hi-fi system. Not only that, but he’s bringing along a Gloucester legend in the form of Mr.Jason Chamberlain . This cat was around in the beginning and I’ve heard about him for years. I’m so happy to have him join us. His old band The Galaxies was the biggest thing around these parts many years ago, and I know there’s a lot of folks who remember him. Something new and different! David “Doc” Vincent will be tapping the skins and I’ll be on base. Get out the poodle skirts and the Brylcreem®! Seeya there!

Special Guest: JON BUTCHER!
After some 30 years on the west coast, Jon Butcher has been
hard at work resurrecting his legendary status here among us
in the east through recent times. I’ve had the pleasure of
sharing the stage with him on numerous occasions – acoustic
songwriter shows, electric blues, and more. We’ve even
worked in the studio together along the way. This Wednesday,
he lights up the Rhumb Line with his exciting energy and
soulful, seasoned material. A true American legend! ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!

I’d like to take the time to let you all know that June 13th will be my last show with the Bandit Kings. My last show with Safety will be at the end of the Summer.
It’s been an amazing run with incredibly talented musicians.
Music lovers, friends, and family, you continue to help make the magic happen.
I’ve been lucky to have many paths to follow, but it’s time for me to venture onto another.
Thank you so much for rocking with me, and I hope to see you on the dance floor!

Thursday Night Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line to host Ricky “King” Russell with Ed Scheer and Mario Perrett 8:30-11:30.
It’s been a while so put away that greasy kid stuff and welcome back those charming rascals of Rhythm: Edd, Ricky and Mario.These guys fit like an old pair of smelly shoes!
Ricky “King” Russell has long been a palimpsest on the Boston scene, what with his searing guitar and ironic vocals. What’s not to like? Then there’s Eddie Scheer, front man , emcee and Osphena® sales rep on drums and vocals, Mario Perrett, saxist and former teen idol on sax and vocals. We always manage to tear the joint apart and put it back together for the next time. We all sing and harmonize, sometimes at the same time! One of my all-time favorite outfits! Come see! Don’t forget: our hours are now 8:30 to 11:30.

Then, this Saturday nite, I am honored to join Ms. Mari Martin and her really hot band ( the Lucky Boys) at the Rhumb Line. Easily the best singer around, Mari brings an incredible amount of great energy to the stage and will have you rollicking in the aisles and spilling your beer all over your chinese shoes. Come dance the night away.
