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

Rhumb Line Wednesdays… 6pm Start witH John Jerome and Allen Estes as His Special Guest 2.2.2022

Posted on by Joanne

They call John Jerome the “Island Cowboy.”  Well, I guess that’s a good name, ’cause he seems to have taken full charge of tha traucous rodeo we’ve all  known for so many, many years to be Rhumb Line Wednesday.  No finer example than this very week, as he hosts one of this island community’s most prolific and notorious country cowpokes, the great Allen Estes!  This promises to be a match made in Heaven, for sure.  The chute opens at 6pm!

Dinner with great music!

*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
The Rhumb Line Kitchen……features Morgan Forsythe!

 Dishes are better than ever before!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!

Posted on by Joanne

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: It has come to our sudden attention that one of us has been exposed to people who have tested positive for the dreaded COVID virus.  Due to this unfortunate circumstance, we will be unable to present our much anticipated Wednesday, December 22 “FLY AMERO & THE HEADLANDS Christmas Celebration!”  With deepest regrets, we must bear the duties that go along with doing the right thing for our friends, families and loved ones.  Fred Shrigley is currently fast at work on substitute entertainment for the evening.  Sincere apologies from us all, and PLEASE… do have a safe and healthy Holiday Season!THE HEADLANDS with guest FLY AMERO!!!!

Here comes Christmas! HEADS UP! I’ll be making my first live Rhumb Line appearance in four months on Wednesday, December 22!

Nope… it won’t be the traditional ‘Amero Family Christmas’ we’ve all known and loved for so many years. But, it does promise to be an evening of cheerful, funny and festive holiday music provided by me, along with John Rockwell’s notorious Headlands. All the sing-alongs you can sing! All the joy you can bring! THE LAUGHTER! THE INSANITY! THE COCKTAILS! HOLY REINDEERSHIT! So… tell your friends, and… be sure to arrive early with your twinkling necklaces, Santa hats and jingle bells. It’s gonna be a bumpy sleigh ride! Think I’m kiddin’? Think again. I am not. We start promptly at 6pm! ~ Fly
