My View of Life on the Dock
Yesterday we introduced you to Megan Burt, the gimmesound Artist of the Week, and featured a video of her solo delta blues hit — and the story behind it (click here if you missed it). Today, you get to see her ROCK. Check out the video above.
Tomorrow you can see her live at Alchemy with her good friend and Gloucester singer/songwriter Chelsea Berry.
It’s Tuesday in Gloucester. That means KBMG or Henley Douglas Jr. Details here.
Chelsea Berry introduced us to her good friend and fellow singer/songwriter, Megan Burtt at a house concert last night. The fact that Chelsea has excellent taste in friends and musicians is proven by Megan. She and Chelsea rocked the crowd. We captured much of the concert on video. Here’s one song and a captivating story. Watch it and see why we chose this rising star as gimmesound’s Artist of the Week.
You can see Megan live at Alchemy on Wednesday (Chelsea will sit in too). You may want to call ahead for reservations 978-281-3997. The word is spreading fast that Megan and Chelsea are not to be missed!

Allen Estes sings his brand new song Be Safe My Son for the first time on his show Local Music Seen, which will air in April. Here’s a preview. He literally finished the song last week, so this is the very first time it’s been heard by anyone outside the studio (except his son, Dylan, of course).
Lots of music today starting at noon. Our friend, Inge Berge, comes out of hibernation tonight at 8pm to appear at Giusseppe’s!
Check this first ever recording of Marina Evans’ new song. Her performance pulls you in to her world and takes you on a journey you won’t experience anywhere else.

It’s a good time to give Good Morning Gloucester the news on our headliner for the Gloucester Blues Festival taking place in Stage Fort Park on Saturday, August 11th.
Shemekia Copeland is at the top of her game, and will thrill the blues lovers at Stage Fort Park this August. She performed earlier this week at the White House for President Barack Obama and shared the stage with blues luminaries like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Jeff Beck, Keb Mo, Warren Haynes and Trombone Shorty.
On Monday night at 9:00 p.m., PBS will be broadcasting the show: “In Performance at the White House Red, White and Blues”. I urge our friends to tune in and get a small sampling of the powerful voice of Shemekia Copeland, the Queen of the Blues.
The Gloucester Blues Festival is a Paul Benjamin/Bob Hastings Production. Paul Benjamin is the producer of the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland, Maine which attracts 16,000 people to the Maine waterfront each July:
We promise to bring the finest in blues to Gloucester this summer. We will be releasing the names of other performers in the weeks ahead.

Her beautiful, sultry voice, distinctive sound and multi-genre style (folk, rock, jazz) have charmed most of us on Cape Ann. Now she has a new website (see here), so we thought it would be fitting for her to be our gimmesound Artist of the Week.
