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,

singers and friends all promise to be there to help make it a

would be more than wise to strongly suggest that any and all
fart-related items (cards, gags, jokes… you name it) would
come highly recommended. It will send her into convulsions
of laughter, I promise. HAPPY 70th, Joycie! Just look how
stunningly gorgeous she still is… ~ Fly

John Rockwell ~ Alchemy ~ Ladies Night ~ Wednesdays 7-9
Hi All:
In honor of spring allegedly coming to Cape Ann AND the Cherry Blossom Festival about to happen in Washington AND in gratitude for last week’s appearance by my new musical friend Helen Aki, I submit the following:
Food, beer, wine, friends, song
Tomorrow is Ladies Night
Hump Day sadness gone.
Perhaps if I’d taken more than 30 seconds and used a brush and ink, that would have seemed poetic…Did you know that there are web sites devoted completely to haiku…about SPAM? It is well nigh impossible to select just one to share. So here are 2.
Can of metal, slick
soft center, so cool, moistening
I yearn for your salt
to be more spam like
o greatest mystery meat
resurrected feet
I hope to see you this week at Alchemy Bistro, 3 Duncan Street in Gloucester. I sing every week there from 7-9, and it’s a lot of fun.
John

Chelsea Berry shares news about her local show.
Hey, all!
This message is going out to all the Glosta folks… thank you for all the support you have given me over the last 5 years, my music has made its way from barrooms and small festivals to coffeehouses and concert halls and theaters— most of them out of state! This is what I have worked for and I am so grateful that it’s finally happening.. but it also means less shows on the island. 😦
I’ve run into a number of people this last month who have asked what’s next for me around here — and it just so happens that this week’s show will be unique, fun, and totally different than a lot of shows you may have seen.
Dawn Mitschele is an INCREDIBLE singer/songwriter from San Diego. She and I will co-bill at Manchester-by-the-Sea’s Crowell Chapel.. it’s a gorgeous venue if you haven’t been there yet to see a show. The format is ‘writers in the round’, where the two of us will share the stage all evening, switching back and forth and telling the stories behind our songs.
Here’s one of Dawn’s tunes…
Also, Manchester’s own Alexandra Valenti will kick the night off with an opening set.
The chapel only seats 120 people- and about half of the seats are gone, so please purchase your tickets now if you plan to attend! Tickets are $20, or you can purchase a whole pew for $120 (seats up to 7 people). http://event.attendstar.com/event/show/chelsea-berry-dawn-mitschele-songwriters-circle/
Show Details: THIS Wednesday, March 27th at 7pm at the Crowell Chapel (4 Rosedale Avenue in Manchester-by-the-Sea)
Hope to see you there. Thanks for your ongoing support… you rock!!!! 🙂
Love,
Chelsea

Meet Chocktaw Rocket
Chocktaw Rocket a fairly new band around town. I’ve seen them twice before. Once, when they made their debut at The Cape Ann Brewery last year and then again at The Dog Bar Cape Ann, about a month ago.
We had the pleasure of hearing them this week at The Rhumb Line’s Monday night open jam . They were the first band to go on to play after The Bandit Kings opened up the evening.
The first song they performed was one that I have never heard before “Everybody’s Gonna Be Happy”. It was so good that people hit the floor dancing and it seemed they very familiar with the tune.
Their second song was an original that Bill Foley wrote “My Type Of Girl”. Both songs were lively, fun and great to dance to.
I hope we get to see more of this band around town soon
Choctaw Rocket is:
Bill Foley_ Vocals and Guitars
Thomas Mitchell_Bass Guitars
Frank Hawks_Lead Guitars
Tod Ellyson_Drums and Vocals
Paula Dion_Vocals and Percussion

Thursday Night Blues Party with Dave Sag’s to host Steve Sadler, Dave Brown and Dave Mattacks 8-11 @ The Rhumb Line
Dave says,
The Large Hadron Collider is proud to present the mashup of the Gods this week as we attempt to create the Higgs Boson’s mate right here at the Rhumb Line. They said it couldn’t be done but they didn’t know we have slide swami Dave Brown being helped out by the commodious Steve Sadler and venerable Dave Mattacks. The sorties will accelerate around the track as the vibrating cesium atom ticks and tocks until critical mass is reached and unused brain cells splatter all over the place. Bring a dustpan! And rubber gloves!
But seriously, folks, this is going to be a very special night with dancing girls in grass skirts and plenty of umbrellas in the drinks, so, get there early and croon the night away. Oh, and remember : our special new hours are 8 to 11.

Bandit Kings live at MinglewoodAtLat43 – 9:00pm-12:00am
This is the last show with all the Bandit Kings before Dan King returns back to the West Coast. I am so looking forward to three sets versus the half an hour at the Monday night jam, but at this point I’ll take what I can get. Great original music, songs that you can relate to and ones that make you feel like you are there, especially “Carnival”.
It was great to see the band member smiling during their performance at the jam. It’s good to be whole.
