Dave says,
This week we feature slugger and home rum king, Mr. Evan Goodreau, our wily purveyor of groovy times and caustic guitarrberations. A busy guy, we’re glad to have him back. Always a vibrational experience. He always raises the stakes, then pounds them back into your heart! Lots of energy!
To keep the blood coursing will be our Irish Ace of Pace, Mr. Benny Benson with his muscle-bound ticking of the clock. Of course, Mr. Greg T.and myself will be standing by to cover any eventualities. Eat your wheaties!

Raw Footage Preview of Chelsea Berry at North Shore Music Theatre last night
Local photographer / filmmaker Brendan Pike shot some excellent video last night of the Chelsea Berry Band rocking the North Shore Music Theatre “like nobody has ever done before,” as one long-time theatre-goer exclaimed after the show.
Of course you are among the very first people to see this raw footage because you’re an FOB! And as soon as we have more to share (Brendan shot Chelsea’s entire set), you’ll be first to see that video too.
Tomorrow will rock with a New Orleans flavor when Aaron Neville takes the stage with Henri Smith opening — There are still tickets left (get them here), and, as you can tell by this video, which was shot from behind the LAST ROW, all seats are good seats. No; make that GREAT seats. And the sound is spectacular!
Weather is clear and looks perfect for the evening, so get out to Fiesta and party! Over a dozen great choices for live music in town tonight. Check out the full live music schedule here.

You’re not one of those people who avoids Fiesta are you?
OK, I said it. It’s the elephant in the room. We actually have friends who look at us like we’re mental patients when we say we LOVE FIESTA! There are only a few places on Earth where the whole city parties and invites tens of thousands of other people to join in. Rio and New Orleans come to mind. Not bad company for Gloucester to be in, is it? Just look at this video from last year:
The guys who didn’t get the pole aren’t cursing the winner. They’re cheering him and carrying him on their shoulders out of the water and up the street. That’s the spirit I’m talking about! A little more of this spirit on a daily basis would make all our lives better.
Plus there’s live music all over town (see full live music schedule here) and nearly everybody you run into is in a great mood for days at a time. So let’s have some fun, OK?

She really makes it happen! She’ll be singing’ all your favorite toons and blowing that category 5 harmonica till the clowns come home!
Backing her up and putting on a happy face will be that winsome wildcat of the 88’s: Mr. John Cameron, rapidly becoming my favorite ping partner. Thrashing the skins will be that Madhouse® rump-a-pum-pum pummeler, Mr. roger Brocklebank. Gonna make him sing, too.
Of course, Mr. Greg T. and myself will be on hand, either cringing or wiggling thru the changes. A great nite to go out!

3 Answers: Where will the Zip Line Kid be tonight? Where can you get Fiesta Coupons? & Why is Chelsea Berry in the news in LYNN?
Today’s Daily Item of Lynn story about Chris Isaak’s concert tomorrow at North Shore Music Theatre includes an interview with Chelsea Berry (see Lynn Item Story Here). Now, for some reason she told the reporter how old she is (I thought women never did that — she never told me). More importantly, read the story and find out how she’s taking her music in a new direction, which you can experience for yourself tomorrow night when Chelsea and her new band open for Chris Isaak (whose birthday is today). VIP is sold out, but seats are still left — and all seats at the Music Theatre are good seats. Get tickets here.
OK, where do you think the Zip Line Kid will be tonight? It’s wrist band night at Fiesta. That means your kids (and you too if you can handle it) get unlimited rides for one price. So our family will be at Fiesta — rain or shine. And we will save $5 with a coupon. You can get one too here.
Just in case you’d rather be inside tonight (see full live music lineup here), check out Fly Amero with guitar virtuoso Jake Pardee at Rhumb Line. Here’s part of Jake’s appearance on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes, where he talks about guitar playing, lessons, listening, neighbors, Berklee and says, “Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane to me are very similar.” Then he proves my point about his virtuosity!

Aaron Neville says he’ll play songs from his new album (produced by Keith Richards) on Saturday

Aaron also talks about his love of music, 50 years of writing and performing and how technology is changing the process of mixing and producing his new album.
When asked how he decides what songs to perform he says, “The voice is a connection between hearts … I just want to connect with the people there listening … ” VIP tickets for Saturday’s concert are sold out, but good seats are still available. Get tickets here.
Fiesta and Rockport Chamber Music Festival ought to be enough excitement for one week, but in addition to that, we’ve got 42 more artists in 18 venues, including a schooner! See the full live music lineup here.

Pier Tag & Diving with Zip Line Kid @ Magnolia Pier
Pre-K to college kids to grandpa. Everybody jumps off Magnolia pier. In this video, we catch part of a game of Pier Tag, followed by some aerial acrobatics and the Zip Line Kid’s first jump off the railing. Given the ages of some of these kids (and adults) you could say they’ve got at least as much skill and daring as the greasy pole walkers!
It’s a beautiful summer Sunday with over a dozen live music choices on Cape Ann (see full live music lineup here). Since the weather is soooooo good, consider the Celtic Music Sunset Sail with Michael O’Leary aboard the Schooner Lannon. Truly acoustic–no mics, no amps, no power except the wind in the sails and the power of great songs and excellent musicianship to move your soul.
