Cape Ann once again featured in The Noise ~ Rockport Show Recommended for This Saturday

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Last month I pointed out that The Noise Magazine recommended two Gloucester shows for the week of Oct 22, putting us on par with Cambridge (see post here).  Well there’s a new Noise issue out and this week they recommend a Rockport show (see here) specifically Amy Black with Megan Burtt at the Old Sloop Coffeehouse.  Congrats Amy Black, Megan Burtt, Old Sloop (tickets here) and Rockport!  Oh, and I guess I have to congratulate myself on being right again.  I picked this show in this post .  Here are two more videos from these rising stars, just in case you weren’t convinced by the ones I posted last week.

More Megan Burtt videos here.

Now for tonight, there’s a special treat at Minglewood: Tony & Samantha Goddess will share the stage with KBMG.  You don’t get to see all these talented artists sharing the stage very often so take advantage.

See this weekend’s complete live music schedule for Gloucester and Cape Ann here.

Give a Gift for Good

Looking for the perfect holiday gift?  Want to get something special, one of a kind and handmade?  Well then look no further, visit Haiti Projects located at 136 Rantoul Street in Beverly, MA, shop online or visit The Gloucester Bookstore who has been a large supporter of Haiti Projects since the start.  Also, find us at any of the Fairs listed below in the Greater Boston area.

Haiti Projects was founded by Annisquam native, Sarah Hackett, in 1994.  She wanted to empower the women in the area of Fond des Blancs, Haiti through employment, not a handout.  Since then, Haiti Projects has grown to employ up to 100 women, provide a women’s health clinic and library for the area.  A whole generation of children have been educated, fed, and clothed because of the extraordinary talents and hard work of their mothers.

Every year, we look for new and exciting designs for our customers. This year, we are announcing leather handbags, made from goat leather.  Indigenous to Haiti, these soft and supple bags are the perfect holiday treat for you, or for someone else.  Inspired by Haitian designer Prajje Jean Baptiste this design embodies the promise of a new high end Haiti. To see our other products, learn about our other projects and how you can help visit www.haitiprojects.org.  Happy Holidays!

Thursday Night Blues Party with Dave Sag to host Steve Sadler & Jimmie Scoppa @ The Rhumb Line~11-1-2012

Posted on by Joanne

This Thursday will be a great nite of rock ‘n roll and algorithm and blues since we have two titanic glitarists  of the Boston scene on board.  I’m talking Mr. Steevie Sadler and Mr. Jimmie Scoppa. Steevie, our commodious multiincrementalist and stellar vocalist, is one of our most popular care-actors of all time. And Jimmy is no slouch, either, having played for years with T.H.and the Wreckage, one of the finest roots bands that ever came out of  Boston. You’ll be smelling Vitalis® and yelling “uncle”!
Last Thursday saw Ms. Mari Martin wreck the joint, so, to keep up the momentum, she’s gonna join me up at Glenn’s in Nbpt. for another great nite. That’s this Sunday nite from 6 to 9. Glenn’s is great restaurant and fabulous venue to hear music, so, get your butt over the bridge and join us for some fun!

Walnuts!?

“Authorities are investigating two thefts of more than 80,000 pounds of walnuts from Northern California valued at about $300,000.

The Tehama County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a freight brokerage firm on Friday reporting that a 40,000-pound truckload of walnuts never arrived in Miami as they were supposed to.

Authorities believe the culprit is the same person who also picked up another load of walnuts (each load weighing 40,000 pounds) days earlier from Los Molinos. Those walnuts were intended for Texas, but also disappeared.”

Rainbow over Good Harbor

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

good harbor beach rainbow after sandy

A rainbow appeared for a brief moment over Good Harbor Beach this afternoon. The surf is still crashing, but it looks like GHB held up pretty well to the storm.

Lots of people were out walking their dogs and enjoying some outside time after being cooped up because of Sandy.
