Chelsea Berry Concerts at Shalin Liu Rescheduled to March 1st and 2nd

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

This just in from Chris Langathianos (Chelsea Berry’s manager)

Regrettably, the coming storm has made it necessary to cancel both the Friday and Saturday Chelsea Berry concerts at the Shalin Liu Performance Center.  The shows have been rescheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 1st and 2nd and tickets will be honored for those performances. If you are unable to attend those shows, Rockport Music will issue refunds on previously purchased tickets.

And this from Shalin Liu’s Karen Herlitz, Director of Marketing at Rockport Music:

Rockport Music Announcement

Rockport Music Concerts Re-Scheduled Due to Weather

 Due to the impeding inclement weather, Rockport Music announces that both concerts this weekend (Friday, February 8 & Saturday, February 9) with singer-songwriter Chelsea Berry are re-scheduled for Friday, March 1st and Saturday, March 2nd.

Ticketholders will be contacted via email by the Rockport Music Box Office next week to exchange tickets.  Please note: The Box Office will be closed on Friday, due to the weather.  Please check our homepage for updates on other concerts this weekend.

Box Office phone number is 978-546-7391.

Here’s what they didn’t say: There were still tickets left to the Chelsea’s Friday show, so that probably means you could still get tickets to one of these shows in March.  If you don’t have tickets yet, I say call up and get them now before everybody else figures this out (remember, you heard it on GMG FIRST!)

If you’re not sure about whether or not you want to go, watch this video from her new CD:

Dave says,

The Bluesland Security Dept. is proud to present  my favorite of all black and blue units, the “3 Stooges” to the fragrant meadow of our stage this coming Thursday. Led by Ricky “King” Russell on gootar and vogelsang,and chased down by the likes of that cutie-pie saxist and storyteller, Mr. Mario Perrett and eminent musical frontman and drummbler, Dr. Edd “Duodenum” Scheer. We have 4 singers, 20 fingers,and a lifetime of groovy tunes to dig into. Everytime these kats come, it takes me days to stop laughing.
Come see us approximate human behavior and  watch the fur fly!
And,  don’t forget about the free shows at the Rose Baker Senior Center  the first 3 Mondays of every month. The Good Old Salty  Jazz Band holds sway from 1 to 3 pm, god willing, playing all your favorite songs from the years 1900 till now.Don’t wait for my memorial service, do it now, while I still remember who you are!

Chelsea Berry ~ The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea

Posted on by Joanne

IMG_9837

Do you have  yours yet? I got mine. Chelsea Berry’s Cd party was a big success last night at Shea’s Restaurant and Bar. It was packed and when I arrived the band was singing. It appeared that everyone was having a great time. Chelsea was as friendly as ever and shared her love all around.

So far I’ve listened to the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea twice. It’s very well done. I tend to lean more toward the rocker side of music but “Hard Times” gets me good, slow, serious and about a sad abusive relationship. “My Heart” is a catchy tune, fun and makes you want to get up and dance.  “Dangerous High” is a nice piece of communication and a rock out song.  “Devil and The Deep Blue Sea” tells yet another story about Chelsea’s feelings with her brother being away in the service. The rest you have to hear for yourself,  seriously.

Chelsea and her band did a fantastic job. I highly recommend the CD  it’s a hit!

One more thing. There were people sporting their new Chelsea Berry tee shirts, They were black with Chelsea’s name  and an outline of guitar in turquoise. Very nice!

IMG_9791Chelsea was indeed all smiles last night.

Chelsea and Michael ended the evening with “Blues House”   A Chelsea Berry original.

Don’t forget Saturdays show at the Shalin Liu is sold out and there are still some tickets available for Friday night.

P&V’s LOL #12: Sometimes you just can’t blame anybody

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

(For those of you who have just tuned in, “LOL” stands for Law of Life.  Click here to see the first 11.)

Everybody’s looking for somebody to blame — especially for last night.  First there’s the power outage.  Even though the official line still makes vague reference to an “abnormality”, you can bet people are scrambling to nail somebody’s ass — or “hold them accountable” to use the latest PC term.

Then there’s Beyoncé.  Joey may have liked her lip-synched dance numbers, but Vickie and I have to agree with venerable music curmudgeon, Bob Lefsetz, who said, “I wasn’t sure what to do after Beyonce’s appearance, join a gym or masturbate.” (We know Joey’s done the former.  What about the latter, Joey?)

Lefsetz tries to blame Madonna, CDs, Hip Hop (read his full tirade here) and he lauds  Prince, Adele, Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers.  (Joey likes The Lumineers too.  See this post.  Their show tonight at House of Blues — yup, across the bridge — is sold out.)

Singers love to lay blame.  Usually they blame somebody else, like when Beyoncé admonishes “you should have put a ring on it.”  Once in a while somebody writes a great song blaming himself.  Of those, my favorite is Guilty by Randy Newman, sung here perfectly by Bonnie Raitt.

You’ll be blaming yourself big time if you don’t get VIP tickets to see Henri Smith featuring Charles Neville this Friday.  It’s the best dinner / show / Mardi Gras party deal around.  Best of all, you can avoid feeling guilty because you’ll be helping to send local YMCA Teens on their service-learning trip to New Orleans in April.  Oh, and Henri won’t be lip-synching.

The older I get the more I realize that casting blame feels good, but doesn’t accomplish much — sort of like masturbating.

Blame is best left to songs.  Chelsea Berry knows how to write a great song that lays blame.  And you can bet she won’t lip-synch when she sings it at her  Shalin Liu concerts.

Just two days left until Chelsea Berry’s “Devil and The Deep Blue Sea” CD release party!

SHEA’S RIVERSIDE RESTAURANT AND BAR

Essex, Massachusetts

Tuesday – 7:00pm until 10:00pm

Please join us to celebrate the release of Chelsea Berry’s newest full length album, “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea”.

The new record is “energetic and wild and has its moments of epic orchestration while the lyrics send the message of the story of human struggle and love and loss and all that stuff I love to write about and people can relate to.

I am really excited about this album because it’s going to be a whole new side of the music- and a whole new side of me. Growing and changing and not being afraid to leave it all out there– without losing that familiarity and approachability that’s so central to me as a performer.”

The CD will be available for purchase and there may even be a couple of impromptu performances.

Also, on Friday and Saturday, Febraury 8th and 9th, Chelsea and her spectacular group of players will perform at The Shalin Liu Performance Center. There are still some tickets left for Friday night’s performance. Don’t miss it!

Last Mardi Gras (2/21/12) after a brief studio intro, we took the cameras and crew to Minglewood Tavern  to film Henri Smith’s excellent band featuring Charles Neville at a Mardi Gras fundraiser for the Y Teens Rebuild New Orleans trip.  The result is a high energy concert and interview with Henri Smith and Charles Neville in Latitude 43’s super comfy lounge area.  This special show airs tomorrow (SUN) at 6pm on Cape Ann TV Channel 12 and again WED 2/6 at 6:30pm
