My View of Life on the Dock
Upcoming shows at 9 Wallis — Jon Butcher is next!
We hear 9 Wallis has a legendary green room. The entrance is just down from the Larcom Theater.

Every once in a while a reporter is able to get a rock icon to open up and share personal stories. Local writer, Blake Maddux, is one of those rare few as you’ll be able to see in his interview with Edgar Winter in the Beverly Citizen. Read it here!
Weaved through several fascinating stories about Woodstock, his brother Johnny, his father, mother and grandfather, Edgar says, “music is a lot more than just my internalized private world. It has the power to transcend boundaries and reach out and bring people together.”
You can experience what Edgar is talking about this Saturday, right down the road in Beverly at The Larcom, the most intimate, acoustically stellar listening room north of Boston! Good seats still available starting at $29.00. Get them here!
SPOILER ALERT:
Here’s an Edgar Winter quote from the article:
So Johnny and I started out playing ukulele, singing Everly Brothers songs like “Wake Up Little Susie” and those kind of songs.
We’re torn. Two of the hottest rising stars of today’s blues scene will be close to home tomorrow. Danielle Miraglia in a co-bill with Jon Shain at Old Sloop in Rockport ($10 in advance HERE, $12 at door)
… OR …
Victor Wainwright and the WildRoots with Roomful of Blues Horns and Dwight & Nicole opening at The Larcom in Beverly. Tickets start at $19 HERE.
Here are some videos to help you decide:
Thought you’d find nothing to do this weekend because Summer is over? NOT!
This just in from the band’s road manager. One of today’s top touring keyboard players will join THE SMITHEREENS when they bring their high energy power pop show right down the road to Beverly’s Larcom Theatre next Saturday, April 2nd.
While on break from John Mayer‘s tour, Andy Burton will bring his tremendous talent and energy to the stage when The Smithereens make their triumphant return to Beverly’s most intimate, acoustically stellar listening venue after last year’s rockin’ show that packed the house.
Good seats are still left, the best available seats being in the balcony – GET THEM HERE.
Here’s a taste of what you can expect from Andy Burton with The Smithererens:
OK, it’s gonna snow on Valentine’s day — maybe another foot or more. You could amp up the #Snanger OR you could chill by the fire and take your sweetie pie to see Booker T. Jones next Saturday (2/21) down the road at Beverly’s Larcom Theatre.
What could be more romantic than a concert with the greatest Hammond B3 groove-master of all time (and a Grammy-winner and Rock n Roll Hall of Famer) in a gorgeous fully-restored, historic theatre, built in 1912 (same year as Fenway Park) with perfect sound?
Well, here’s what’s even more romantic than that … local rising stars Sarah Seminski & Eric Reardon are opening the show. Here’s a video of them performing “Try A Little Tenderness” at the Larcom back in November. Now, Otis Redding recorded with Stax Records at the same time as Booker T. & the M.G.’s, who backed Otis on his version of this song. Romance will just envelope the whole place next Saturday. Get tickets here.
Oh, I just couldn’t resist that terribly corny rhyme …
Before I head downtown (Gloucester, that is) to (hopefully) finish up my shopping, I figured I’d remind all of you, who might be stressing about what to buy, how easy it is to raise your loved ones’ spirits with the gift of music. Of course there are many excellent choices this year, but I’ll take this opportunity make a shameless plug for just 1: John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band right down the road at Beverly’ Larcom Theatre on Jan 31. It’s really easy:
1) Buy your tickets here.
2) Print them out.
3) Fold, wrap in a bow and put under the tree (or where ever you like).
Here are some reasons why this is a good idea: It’s local. Fun. Don’t have to go to the mall. Don’t even have to get dressed to buy them. Gives you and your loved ones a treat in the dead of winter. Gives you something to look forward to. Doesn’t take up any space. Music heals your soul.

You may or may not know that major rock stars live right down the road in Beverly, MA. CASPIAN, performed at Beverly’s Block Party last year, but mostly they tour the world. On October 18, they’re celebrating their 10th year as a band with a special hometown anniversary concert at The Larcom Theatre. Yesterday at noon, they offered pre-sale tickets to their fan-base, who turn out to be highly loyal — meaning the show is nearly sold out barely 24 hours later (most of the orchestra was sold out within an hour). That’s what I mean when I say, “rock stars.” So if you want to go to this once-in-a-decade event, get balcony seats now (right here).
