Ace of Base live at The Topside!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give you a heads up about the entertainment this weekend. Also, some great food on the menu for tonight and tomorrow. The ever delicious Shrimp Vieste (with spinach, feta cheese, tomatoes, and garlic) Also tomorrow, come check out the half chicken or the Rack of baby back ribs (fall off the bone). For the entertainment, two of my favorites playing! Hope to see you there….

Tonight: Steppers Heaven: 8:00 pm
The smooth, sultry and soulful sound of music being played the way it was meant to be. The songs by Steppers Heaven are as cool as the other side of the pillow. The group is made up of Bobby Bishop (vocals/guitar), Terrell ‘Model T’ Brown (vocals/guitar) and their band. Blue Soul Meets Rock and Roll. Delivering a sound that is a mix of The Blues, R&B, Reggae and Rock, Steppers Heaven is music that you will feel. They draw from their wealth of experience to deliver mesmerizing live performances that hold audiences captive. Bobby and Terelle have been noted musicians in Boston for several years, having taken it to a level rarely seen these days…appearing on the radio, on TV, the paper, documentaries, the studio, and of course the stage.

Tomorrow: Ryan Faraday: 9:00 pm
Ryan puts on the best show I have seen live, and that includes all the huge concerts I’ve been to. At 24 years old, Ryan Fardy has had a fantastic start to his 9-year career.  He has played to crowds all over New England and the United States (Las Vegas, California, Florida…etc), and even Canada.  He has opened for the legendary Chaka Khan, Leon Russell, Edgar Winter, Mountain, Snoop Dogg, Rick Derringer, Hoobastank, and more.  He was also the featured cover story for Boston Blues Magazine at the age of 18. With an upbringing on the Boston Area blues scene, Ryan has created his own genre, mixing Blues, Rock, Funk, R&B, Soul, and Pop.  He is striving to make his songwriting ability known even though he still holds the “guitarslinger” tag throughout the Boston area.  His shows combine the inventiveness of Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck, the passion of Eric Clapton, and the on stage intensity of Stevie Ray Vaughan.  Audiences typically find themselves in awe of his command of the guitar and of the stage, and have trouble believing that they are witnessing the talents of someone so young.  However, they don’t have any trouble believing that they are seeing a performer who has a very bright future.

PS, no Ace of Base this weekend, but I’m still talking to Debbie Gibson…

Thursday – 9:00 – 12:00 ~ Dave Sags Blues party

Let’s see what Mr Dave Sags has to say about tonight,

Sorry I’m so late, but I’ve been busy harvesting potatoes in Maine all week. Now I gotta work off all that moose fat. So, to help me work it on out, jump up and spin around, I have to get the best. And so I do; in the form of Mario Perrett; cutie-pie saxist and world class vogelizer.
He’s been busy, too, as he just got back from supervising next October’s issue of Playboy Magazine’s photo shoot of “the Girls of Aroostock County”, a smashing success. Now he’s back home ready to tear it up and shake you to your very core.
Pushing the beat from behind will be Roger Brocklebank, Madhouse timebomb, on drumms, and possibly vocals, if he’s not feelin’ too shy, and, of course, Greg “Whammy Bar” T. on catarrh, as well as myself, on base. We’re gonna tear it up!

NEXT THURSDAY: Willie “Loco” Alexander and the boys from Brazil! Featuring Billy Loosigian and Stevie “ha-ha” Chaggaris. Get there early: free cold compresses to the first 50 victims.

Friday 9:00 to 12:30 ~ Bingo Fridays

Cape Ann’s hottest rock band ..you’ve seen them at Harbor Loop and in the horrible’s parade on The Rhumb line’s float

Our Alaskan songbird comes from her recent show at The House of Blues …a night of acoustic folk and rock

Chelsea Berry is a singer songwriter from the town of Chugiak, Alaska. She has lived and performed around her beautiful home state as well as in Chicago, Nashville, Boston, and, most recently, Cape Ann, MA. She has just finished a new original album which was released at the House of Blues in Boston on the 26th of June. Chelsea’s music is deep, earthy, and refreshing.. Her vocals are smooth and her lyrics poetic and identifiable to any listener. Her music falls somewhere between Sheryl Crow and Joni Mitchell.. With a little Alaskan edge.
