Dave Sag’s Thursday Night Blues Party with Orville Giddings, Mark Earley and Steve Chaggaris @ The Rhumb Line 8-11~ 11.21.2013

This Thirsty,

The polls are in. And it’s official: Orville Giddings and Marque Earley  are the undisputed kinghs of Ipsquitch. Many Magi believe that twins were born at the virgin birth, and scholars have long debated how a freakin’ tenor sax was hawked out of the birth canal to the tune of “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I got love in my tummy”. We’re here to dispel the notion that flossing will help you lead a more upright life. Indeed, the mere mention of saxophone reeds and guitar picks is enough to send the most  covalent of humanoids into a maelstrom of shock.
That being said, Let’s welcome that  fabulous guffawer of glee and full-time guitslinger Mr. Orville Giddings. This guy writes great songs, sings them well, too, and plays a mean goo tar. and then there’s Marque Earley, tenor and baritone buffonio maestra on sexomaphone, willing to chase you back to whatever evil planet you came from. How can we miss?? Add the stylistic cacklings of Stevedore Chaggaris and basic innuendos of Dave Sag and you have the beginnings of a life worth living and dying for. And we will.
Our new winter hours are 8 to 11. Bring cash.

Dave

The Four Legged Faithful Playing Nov 23 at Cape Ann Brewery

photo171

The Four Legged Faithful are a band made up of 4 ordinary men who all thrive on playing music together. Their aim is not to play traditional folk or bluegrass music, but instead to create beautiful, heart-felt, and genuine music using traditional folk/bluegrass instruments. They create a sound that is honest and reflects the band’s many musical influences from nearly all genres. All members sing; creating multiple combinations of 2, 3, and 4-part harmonies. All members write and sing songs about their thoughts, families, and the natural world that surrounds them. For a band without a drummer, The Four Legged Faithful achieve an incredible level of intensity using foot percussion and layered rhythms throughout every measure.  Check out this video and go see them on Saturday November 23rd.

Lordy be, what fun. You will see ~ Dave Sag’s Blues Party Thursday night @The Rhumb Line. 8-11

blues party mike dave frosty
We’re penetrating the Gardol® Shield this week with two of the finest slide glitar players this town has ever produced: Mr. Mike O’Connell and  Mr. David Brown. Mikey is a big favorite, what with his agglutinated vocal style and sponge-coated gritar stylings, he’s sure to have you sucking on your upper plate, whilst he  goes for your jugular.  And Brownie, of course, the systolic swami of slide, with his jewel-encrusted whammy bar and electric gas pedal, surrounded by a spaghetti mess of 2500 feet or so of extra cables. Heartfelt heartbeat duties performed by  one of our favorite egg scramblers: Mr. Forrest “Frosty” Padgett.

The last time this ensemble played together, I thought Mitch Miller was gonna come running and offer us a contract! But seriously, folks, it was a magic night, filled with psychic

DON’T FORGET:  WE’RE ON WINTER HOURS: 8 TO 11. Tell your friends and enemies!
NEXT WEEK:  Wilbur and Orville Giddings with Marque Earley and Steevee Chaggarris, the laughing drummer. The fur will fly. O.G. writes great songs. Nice teeth, too.

Don’t be fooled by cooler weather — the music season NEVER slows down on Cape Ann

A few places have closed for the season and there aren’t as many tourists around.  Traffic is lighter.  The Cut Bridge isn’t always up.  But that doesn’t mean you can wait until the last minute to get tickets to concerts at Shalin Liu.  That’s because with a world-class music venue down the road in Rockport, the season never really ends — at least not the music season.  Many of their concerts are already sold out — or nearly sold out, meaning you have to call the box office to see if there are any seats left, namely: Capital Steps and Arlo Guthrie.  There are still a few tickets left for Jonathan Edwards and Peter Wolf, but not many.  And the Cape Ann Big Band matinee on Dec 8 is nearly sold out too.  There are still some good orchestra seats for The Freddy Cole Quartet on next Friday, Nov 15, but they’re going fast too.  Check out his video below:

So the moral of the story is that just because it’s getting cold out doesn’t mean you can wait until the last minute to get tickets to world-class concerts at Cape Ann’s premier concert venue!
