My View of Life on the Dock
From Frank Hawks-
Just a reminder that Slingdaddy will be returning to Elliot’s @ the
Blackburn on Saturday, December 26th.
So if you have enjoyed us in the past, come down and show off your new clothes that Santa brought.
Elliot’s is located at 2 Main St in downtown Gloucester.
It will be our lead singer’s final performance with us as he has decided
to leave to pursue other interests. We will keep everyone posted on the
progress with our new lead singer for future shows.
Happy Holidays!
My good friend, Joanne, has put together this week’s music schedule. So check in out here. Thanks Joanne! I love you!
Come to Harvard Square! A magical place of city lights during the Holiday Season! Dan King and KBMG (King, David Brown, Dave Mattacks and Wolf Ginandes) play their special blend of live folk, roots and rock n roll at Tommy Doyle’s (used to be the House of Blues) on Winthrop Street.
with Joe Henley, performing their own modern mix of folk, rock, and bluegrass, this promises to be a splendid evening and a Holiday treat!

From Dave Sag on The Rhumb Line Blues Party
Due to the big turkey day, our blues party will be shifting to Wednesday nite, and as a extra special treat we put together a really hot band featuring Ms. Lisa Marie!! , Forrest Padgett on drumbs, Cliff Spencer on keys, Greg t. on Qatar and myself. But stay away from me: I have a pretty bad cold(cough, cough). Nothing witty this time, just plain, old good music. See ya there!
Tonight @ Cameron’s!
“She may be the sister of Beck, but Alyssa Suede sounds more like a mix of Jewel and Alanis Morrisette.” – Rock is Life.com
Singer/Songwriter, Alyssa Suede began her music career two years ago under the guidance of her dad, renowned arranger/composer David Campbell. She spent the past year playing clubs in N.Y., Nashville, Los Angeles and Northern California. Her latest performances include the 2009 Sundance festival and this year’s SXSW.
Presented by local promoters Victory Agents and Dan King, Suede will take the stage for one night only at Elliotts in Gloucester.
Comfortable alone on stage, Alyssa moves with ease from guitar to piano to harmonium and has a voice thats been called “-breaking, twangy [with a] musical likeness to Jewel that is often startling.” – Muzikreviews
Meanwhile, her single “Falling from Mars” has already generated a buzz in the film community winning “Best Music Video” at the Memphis 2008 Film Festival and “Best Original Song” at the 2008 Feel Good Film Festival in Hollywood. Her EP, “Black and White in Color” was released in October of 2008 and is available on iTunes.
“Suede has chops that show promise in the future.” – L.A. Times
Doors at 7pm
Show promptly at 8pm
$10 at the door
This just added!
MARINA EVANS will be doing an opening set of her best material.
Marina has been making waves around the Cape Ann scene lately bringing even more excitement to this very special show!
Favorite song- The Poopyhead Song
For $8 per kid (under 2 years are FREE!), you get an ice cream social, face painting, prizes and giveaways, an…d a concert with Leeny and Tamara! Fun for everyone!!
You don’t need to buy tix in advance for this, just show up! Be there, Saturday, November 14, festivities start at Noon. And PLEASE, help spread the word about the show, we’d love a BIG turnout!!

It’s gonna be a busy week, so, let’s get going.
Thursday nite, it looks like yet another close encounter of the fourth kind, as we welcome back that doodley duo: Mario Perrett and Edd “Duodenum” Scheer. I love playin’ with these guys. Cutie-Pie Mario, who may or may not have posed for Playgirl Magazine, will be honkin’ his sax and testifyin’ to that vocal jive while Ed, our see-thru drummer and vocal ad-libber will be nailin’ down the beat and laughing at everybody within earshot.Looking befuddled and playing his catarrh will be Greg T.,of course, and I, too, on base.
Things deteriorate rapidly this Friday nite at Elliot’s at the Blackburn, with the triumphant return of The Geezerz. Last time there we outdid ourselves and I was forced to change my slacks twice (Just kidding).As you all must know by now, The big G is decomposed of Dave Brown, battin’ cleanup, Dave Mattacks, who carefully locates that arcane spot between tick and tock, Greg Tower, who nullifies the void, and myself, with mop and pail.Showtime is 8:30, and ends when the band disappears.
But, wait! there’s more: If you act now I’ll throw in with no cost to anyone: another jam session! Yes, yes, this Sunday afternoon, from 1 to 4 at Chianti’s in Beverly, there will be a monstro gathering of the troops to raise money for The North Shore Blues Project. This is the brainchild of local filmmaker Henry Ferrini, and we gotta help him out. Tryin’ to get some dough together to spread the word of the blues to kids around here with film and live performances. On tap are the likes of Willie”Loco” Alexander,John Hyde and his blushing bride, Sandi Bedrosian, Mark Retallack, Rik and Al-x Razdan and many others, myself included.C’mon down!
Finally, for those of you who are underemployed,or just darn lazy, Monday afternoon at the Rose Baker Senior Center got sumfthin for yoo: the Good Old Saltine Jazz Band playin’ yer favorite hits from 1910 on. I play bass with these guys, and it’s great fun.Stop in from 1 to 3 for a taste of the real thing. No cover, no minimum! Ta-Ta!

Y’all remember Billy, or is it Buffalo Bilious, the famous juggler of hot blues lix, ancient rock’n’roll samples and general musical magician, courtesy of Willie Alexander’s Ragtime Band. Billy is one of the most sought-after call guys on the Boston circuit, and we got ‘im, and we’re gonna blow a fuse. Wear rubber gloves.

Blacking him up will be our own Frosty The Snowman, Mr. Forrest Padgett, on Drummbulators, the nicest guy I’ve ever known, and of, course, Greg T. on catarrh, and myselph, on base. We’re gonna romp and stomp till midnite. Honk and sneeze till daylite. You come, too.”
