Here is this week’s live music schedule at the Rhumb Line!

At The Cut. I was so excited to see Chris + Joe and Chelsea Berry on Saturday night at The Cut. Unbelievably, my very first time at The Cut was just two weeks ago. If you haven’t checked it out, you really should. My first impression, upon walking in to the back of the main room is that I felt like I was in one of the many bars in Nashville that I love to spend time in. The music venue itself is also really cool. While we sat at a table in the front row for Chris + Joe, I chose to mingle a bit near the bar during Chelsea’s show. Here’s a shot from side stage.

Fishermen. Have you ever had the opportunity to sit on the bleachers at the Newell Stadium and watch the Fishermen (football, lacrosse, soccer, track, etc) play on the New Balance Field? It is really quite special. The new wall that follows the river obstructs some of the view, but even so, watching the kids play while both recreational and commercial vessels head in and out of the harbor as the cut bridge goes up and down is super unique. I’ve often heard parents from opposing teams talk about what a great location we have. Gloucester things.

Dining a la Fresco. I watched this seagull enjoy his breakfast on top of the neighbor’s chimney. He was keeping a watchful eye out for other birds to swoop in and steal his meal.

Magnolia morning.

Low Tide on this unseasonably cold morning.

I don’t know much about this, but I’ve seen others posting photos this week. It passed by my window this morning. It reminds me of a water dwelling version of Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel.

Finn is off on a 12-hour fishing trip today and he sent a video while steaming out. His alarm was set for 3:45 a.m. and I dropped him off at the boat at 4:15. The screen grab from his video is blurry, but still pretty. Go get ’em, Finn.

The spinach artichoke dip at 525 in Magnolia is a must. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip at 525 the other day and it was delicious… and huge.

I took a morning walk around Maritime Gloucester the other day. Their property, the pier, the boats, Harbor Loop, Solomon Jacob Park, the Coast Guard Station, and the Harbor Master’s offices are always a great place to take photos. This time of year, even with the blanket of snow we see this morning, there always exists the hope of summer and just enough hustle and bustle to let you know that the waterfront will soon be hopping.

Tonno’s Tuna Tacos, yes please!

Music 7 days per week….9 shows in all. Come on down!

I was meeting a friend quickly the other day as we both only had a little window for a quick beer. We decided on the Cape Ann Lanes Brew Pub and I was reminded again of what a great option it is. While there, I grabbed a pizza and loaded tater tots to bring home to my boys as well. They were thrilled….and my beer was delicious! Definitely stop by…even if you aren’t bowling.

Happiest of birthdays to this guy! The fearless leader and ringmaster of The Rhumb Line family! Over many, many years he has created a live music venue/restaurant/bar that SO many have called “home.” He has brought people together and in doing so has created so many beautiful friendships, memories, and reasons for celebration. He has given so many a stage to perform on and a barstool to sit on when they needed it most. What would we do without the Rhumb Line? What would we do without Fred Shrigley? Feel free to share your favorite Rhumb Line story as a gift to Fred….. and come say hello tonight for Bluegrass night at the bar!
