Ruby Rose FoxYou know we love to put young, rising stars on stage with national touring artists.  Often the young talent comes from Cape Ann, but this time, we’ve got Boston Music Award winner Ruby Rose Fox and her stellar band opening for Martha Davis and The Motels on April 22, right down the road at Beverly’s Larcom Theatre.

Just the thought of these 2 powerhouse voices on the same stage sends shivers up my spine.  Check her out!

In this excellent, in-depth article by Bill Copeland, Ruby says “I think it took me a long time until I could sing in the place where my voice lived.”  Truly the words of a poet and a dynamic singer-songwriter.  Don’t wait until the last minute.  Get tickets now, RIGHT HERE and be sure you’ve got a great seat to this super-hot show!

You know the rule: If you don’t vote you can’t bitch.  And I love to bitch, so I always vote.

After you go to your local polling place today, you can go on-line and vote for your favorite local music at The Boston Music Awards.  You’ll be able to vote for plenty of artists you’ve seen in Gloucester and Cape Ann, including Kingsley Flood for their Album “Battles” and for their Video “Sigh a While”, Peter Wolf for Live Artist, Gracie Curran (who opened the Gloucester Blues Fest) for Blues Artist, Barrence Whitfield for Male Vocalist and Dennis Brennan for Best Live Ongoing Residency.

Let’s show the Boston folks that artists who come to Cape Ann to perform get the most votes!

Congratulations To Local Music Acts Taking Home Boston Music Awards Honors!!!

Hi Joey,

I love your blog!

I don’t know if this is of interest to you but thought I’d try.

George Hall, a Gloucester resident and guitar-playing fixture at the Rhumbline, is the lead guitarist for Kingsley Flood.  The band just performed at the Boston Music Awards last night and took home the Boston Music Award for "Best New Artist of the Year".   I don’t know if you’ve caught them live but they play at the Rhumbline frequently, when they’re not travelling up and down the east coast.  In fact, the Rhumbline holds a special place in their heart…they love the crowd there.  Their CD "Dust Windows" topped the Amazon charts for quite some time as well.  Check them out!

Also, Jen D’Angora of Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents won "Best Female Vocalist of the Year."  Tony Goddess of Gloucester is a guitarist with the band and his wife Sam Goddess is a back-up vocalist.

The awards were held at the Liberty Hotel in Boston and it was a sold-out event.

All around, a good night for recognizing some home-grown talent.

Thanks.

Gregg Z.
