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

SAT. SEPT. 14
On Saturday the Cape Ann Cinema is featuring a movie entitled, “20 ft. from Stardom” about the 60’s girl group era with a pre-show performance with the Honky Tonk Women at 8pm, movie to follow. DOORS AT 7:30PM * SHOW AT 8:00PM
It’s back to the Three Stooges Trio this Thursday, so please welcome back that yeti of the guitar, Mr. Rikky “King” Russell. Borne and bread in and of the blues, this cat has been a fixture on the Boston scene for many decades and really knows how to twist your dials for maximum squirming. Even better, that amazing saxist and singer, that major teen idol Mr. Mario Perrett, will be on hand to help us all out. Unfortunately, our drummer under contract, Mr. Edd “Duodenum” Scheer is suffering from rupture of the deep and will be unable to join us, so, we have enlisted the aid of that swarthy bongo boy from the “Love Dogs”, Mr. “Downtown” Steve Brown. Known to change clothing in a phone booth, he’s set to fly in on time to rock the house. It’s gonna be a great nite of flying fur, bad jokes and misplaced observations. Czech it out! Hours 8:30 till 11:30.
But wait! There’s more! I’ll be hanging out at the same time same bat-channel location to witness the arrival of Ms. Mari Martin this Saturday nite at the Rhumb Line. My favorite vocalist, she’ll put a smile on your face and blisters on your feet.
She’s bringing the Low yo-yo band to prepare you for doomsday. That’s Mr. Bogus on guitar, John “Cameron” Swazey, on keys, Roger Broccolibanque, on pistons, and yours truly on base. Music starts at 9:30 when we start cranking that bumper jack between your head and the ceiling. Count on it!
And for all you folks into video poker and free jell-o:
I’ll be down at the Rose Baker Senior Center next Monday from 1 to 3 with the Good Old salty Jazz Band, cranking out all your favorite hits from the teens and twenties. It’s really a blast. Hope to see you there.
By the way, I’ve finally succumbed to the temptations of the web, and now have a Facebook page. Soon’ I’ll learn how to use it. Here is link:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Davesags-blues-party/1413082458915228
Please don’t clog it up with acne remedies, anti-gluten rants or conspiracy theories. Ockham’s Razor works for me. I got enough problems….
And again, thank you for your continued support. Without you we would be nothing. Live music is best!

Special Guest: Toni Ann!
I’ve had this thought rolling ‘round my brain like a marble for
some time now… about how interesting it might be to have
an annual Cape Ann Music Awards event, we have such an
amazing scene going on here. This week’s guest would
surely get my vote for “Most Improved”. Toni Ann Enes! ~ Fly

It’s the big one: Labor Day, that is, so we’re gonna blast off into Oört Cloud Nine with that rapacious rapscallion of Rhythm and Booze: the one and only “Flash” Gordon Beadle. Frontman, vocalist, and saxophone smartypants, if you haven’t seen this guy perform, you oughta consider slashing your ankles and getting it over with. “Sax” Gordon, as many of us refer to him, is the biggest, bestest concept in natural pain relief I have ever known. This man has climbed Mt. Everest a million times, without ever leaving the comfort of of his home. Now he’s gonna do it here. The Natural Guard has been called out and will be on duty. Check him out on Utube. Smelling salts recommended.
Backing him up will be that amazing guitarist and Klonopin® Spokesmodel, Mr. Mike DiBari. This kat knows all the chords….Watch his fingers vibrate and flail and fade in and out of reality.* Drum chores will be handled by our Irish Ace of Pace: Mr. Benny Benson, dentologist and major teenage idol. I’ll be on the bass couch, mumbling about my childhood….
Rheumer has it that there will be a few alien landings in the saxophone department. I can’t mention it…I can’t read it, but suffice it to say that there will be jet fuel spilled and many brains deep-fat fried…
This is it: Summer’s gone after this, so come out and make your presence known!
