Dave Sags Blues Party tonight @ The Rhumb Line with Evan Goodrow

Thursday9:00 to 12:00 ~ Dave Sags Blues Party with special guest Evan Goodrow

From Mr. Dave Sags himself,

Hubba, Hubba,  girls, and those of the female persuasion: he’s back!  He’s escaped the event horizon, eaten ten hits of oxymoron, strapped on his titanium codpiece, and he’s comin’ after you! I’m talking ’bout that pulse racing, rubber-hose wielding divo of rhythm and bliss, Mr. Evan Goodreau. Last seen in these parts a while ago, it’s taken months to wipe the smile offa evrybody’s face. Now, put it back on, cuz he’s comin’ to town and he wants YOU, the viewer to  split your lip in  heavenly ecstacizm and zizz to the loopy beet. Ask your doctor if HonkyJive® is right for you.
Meanwhile, Mr. Gym Gwin, Fred’s brother, will be playin’ the eggbeaters and stirrin’ soup behind him, tryin’ to figger out a way to take K. L. out, or at least expose him as a swish. We know it’s true. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BAND.
Of course Greg T. with his hat, and myself , on base, will attempt the impossible. Do czech it out.
Many busy executives ask me how I can go on and do this “creative” writing every week. I can’t really eggsplain it, but here’ what to do: Make yourself an Ice-cold martini (or three), sit down, and let ‘er rip! Usually works for most authors, so, give it a try. Nothin’ like black and white! Stay tuned!

This is a great event to get all dressed up and head out on the town. Always a popular venue for the business leaders and politicians to get together, socialize, have a few drinks, a great diner, a few more drinks then kick up their heels and have some fun.

Garfish will be performing dinner music along with classic rock-n-roll from the 1960’s & 70’s  and 80’s along with some current hits that will surely get the crowd to its feet. This is the first show of the New Year for Garfish since their sold out performance at the Gloucester Elks Lodge in November. Tickets are limited so please make your reservations early.

The band consists of Kevin Lopes on lead vocals, along with fellow musicians: Walter Piscitello on drums, Doug Comeau on guitar, Gary “Gar” Hiltz on bass and Jeff Worthley on piano & saxophone.

Garfish has played regularly at many area venues, including the American Cancer Society and Senator Bruce Tarr fundraisers along with other local benefits.  The band performs their own renditions of classic songs by Elton John, Jethro Tull, The Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Styx, Lionel Richie, Dropkick Murphys, Moody Blues, Joe Cocker, Billy Joel and others.

Best Wishes to you all for the New Year…..Gar

Thursday Night Blues Party at The Rhumb Line With Dave Sags ~ 9:00 to Midnight.

Our unsub this week is the one and only Steve Sadler, string genius, gargler, and poster boy for Men’s Health Magazine.  The Star of the East has risen and muhgals from many distant lands ( like Peabody) will be bringing in their caravans and refrigerator boxes in celebration of the blessed event. Steve has just finished up  a brand new CD of his own tunes, in which he’s taught a thing or two to Brian Wilson. Smooth and creamy vocals, like a frappe. Groovey tunes with real chord changes, too. Get yerself a copy. Great cruisin’ music!
Stirring the pot will be Mr. Jeff Casper, the friendly drummer, who’s been on hiatus ever since he had to bite off his own leg , to escape that bear trap. Ankles Aweigh, Jeff! Of course, Greg T. will be there as well as myselph, on base. Now, if I could only shake that cold….

Dave Sags Blues Party to Host Lisa Marie ~ 12-23-2010

OH, come all ye faithful… the Christmas Tree is lit (so is the band) and it’s counting down to that last green light of that quarter-mile.When it hits, you’re bound to quake, as the slicks screech and the hammer hangs and dem ol’ reindeer take off, hooves a-popping, bells a-rattling, ears a-ringin’ to that V-8 heat that can’t be beat. It’s Christmas time, pretty baby and to get all your noses turning red, we got the Queen of the north, Ms. Lisa Marie. She’s got the reins and the leadfoot to get ya where ya gotta go. We’ve purposely cut the brake lines for this one special performance. Hear her sing such xmas faves as “Santa’s got a lawyer” , ” Who left the grate closed?”, and “I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus”. It’s sure to be the high point of any dead Christian’s holiday.
We got reindeer,too! The famous finger-flailer, John “Prancer” Cameron will be on the ivories. And citizen and weekend father, Mr. Steevie “Vixen” Chaggaris, will be on the egg-beaters whilst sitting on hiz own stool. Of course, Mr. Greg “Rudolph” Tee and myself will be there, too, drinking eggnog and Alka-Seltzer. Ask your doctor if Lisa Marie is right for you. Don’t look for premiums, as the cost of the finest precludes the use if them.
But, seriously, folks, Greg and I would like to thank each and every one of you who have helped to make this past year a little bit brighter. Without you, we’d be nothing.You have helped to make my  Days sunnier!So, Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Shalom, Kwanza, whatever, but have a merry! And, remember: live music is best!!

Three dynamic musicians under one roof. You can not go wrong with that. I have had the opportunity to hear Bradley, Jake and Pete, each one alone and with a band. I was also able to catch the last set when they were all playing together, not to long ago at the Dog Bar. It was unique because they all have different styles among them but share that familiar passion. Sometimes you just want to sit back and have the pleasure of just listening to their creativity with all of the songs that they so eagerly share. Then again, you may want to jump right up and dance around the place.  You will see that at just about any show.
