If you’ve been waiting for a multi-platinum recording artist (i.e., Rock Star) to come down the road to Beverly’s Larcom Theatre, wait no longer. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band (feat. Michael “Tunes” Antunes on sax) will ROCK the house on Saturday, January 31 with his #1 hits “On The Dark Side”, “C-I-T-Y”, “Tough All Over”, “Hearts on Fire” and one of my favorites “Tender Years.”
You know how you’re gonna feel in late January … like you need some high-energy music to break you out of your winter doldrums. The thing is, these tickets won’t last that long. So get them now (right here). They make perfect holiday gifts for all of your friends and family who will be feeling the same way in late January. Here’s his hit, “On The Dark Side” from the Eddie and the Cruisers movie featuring “Tunes” on Sax.

TMax opened The Minglewood Shuffle then Lynn Taylor, Steve Caraway, Mosey Greams, Bradley Royds, Ric Saint Germain and The Tree House Charlatans (who sat in for Jake Pardee who couldn’t make this event). It was an excellent night of live music at Minglewood. Each performer brought something different to the stage, originals, new songs and a few covers and each one was on fire. Be sure to check out the next shuffle on the third Thursday of the month and that is on January 15th 2015.

Over at the Causeway a cup is a bowl and a bowl is a super bowl. With a heap of haddock, cooked just right. If they had more seating Gulf of Maine haddock might become endangered.

During Men’s Night, our friend Matthew Green strolled into the gallery. This was a great surprise, as he’s been away for a few years. We’ll see him tonight at the GMG Holiday party at my gallery. Thank you Santa.

I have been searching through all the restaurants but I can not find out if anyone is open on Christmas Eve.
Or are we left with Chinese take out?
Thanks so much

Hi Joey –
I wanted to be sure to share these fun pictures from the rehearsals for Welcome Yule! A Midwinter Celebration which will be presented on Sunday, December 21 at 3:30 PM at the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church.
Welcome Yule! is a family show filled with music, dance, songs and stories to drive the dark away. It features carols, wassailing songs, dancing, a mummers’ play and a Yule log procession. This festive, participatory celebration invites the audience to sing-a-long, laugh-a-long, even dance-a-long!
There is a $15 suggested donation for adults at the door; $10 for seniors and children five through sixteen; $40 family cap; age four and under free. This event will benefit the Meetinghouse Preservation Fund.
For more information visit Sing Through the Seasons on Facebook, or email folklifestudio@gmail.com.
Hopefully you’ve already read about this on GMG as it has been well covered!
The Gloucester Stage Youth Acting Workshops proudly presents Holiday Delights from December 19 through December 21 at Gloucester Stage Company, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester. Holiday Delights features a cast of over 30 young people ranging in age from 6 to 17, all students in Gloucester Stage Youth Acting Workshops.
Follow the torch-lit procession beginning at Dock Square on Saturday evening at 5:00 and celebrate holiday traditions while sharing the story of the nativity.
I list this as a “great take” this weekend for two reasons. On any given weekend from November to February, the Farm to Table by Train exhibit is worth seeing! My boys could watch the trains all day long. This weekend, however, is extra special because one of my favorite children’s authors is also at the Wenham Museum signing books! Meet Caldecott Award Winner, Chris Van Allsburg…maybe most famous this time of year for writing The Polar Express, but also the author of many other amazing books such as Jumangi, The Adventures of Harris Burdick, Just a Dream, and now The Misadventures of Sweetie Pie. See all of his books here.
On most Saturdays and Sundays Talbot Rink offers almost two hours of public skating…from 2:00-3:50. A great chance to get active during the long cold winter months and see lots of familiar faces. Skate rentals are available and the cost is nominal.
“Holiday Delights,” is a fun-filled holiday spectacular presented by the Gloucester Stage Youth Acting Workshops, playing December 19th through the 21st. For more information please call 978-281-4433 or visit www.gloucesterstage.com.

It’ll be good to have back Mr. Greg Lutrell this Thursday night. Just back from six months in in China, Greg’s bringing his wok and giving a demonstration on it’s use between sets of excruciatingly endocrining-inducing blues. He plays to die for and sings like an banshee in heat. You’re gonna love it. Our international composition also includes Mr. Benny Benson, our Irish Ace of Pace, on drummps, and your favorite Polish-Italian bassist: me. Ask your doctor if Dave sag’s Blues Party is right for you. Do not attempt to drive or operate heavy machinery whilst under the influence of three chords.
And, by the way, if I don’t see ya: Merry Xmas or Kwanza or seasonings greetings!
