Miranda Russell performs at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport on Friday and Saturday May 24th and 25th, 8 PM. Miranda and her 6-piece band will play an eclectic repertoire from standards to Americana folk/rock. Familiar to Cape Ann audiences from her many appearances at Gloucester Stage Company, Miranda has played at the Shalin Liu for the past two years, selling out the house. Hailed by critics as a sensational nuance performer, “Russell will knock your socks off, should you be wearing any this close to the beach” (Boston Phoenix).
Here is Maranda Russell’s wonderful cover of Paul Simon’s Graceland. She and her band really make this song their own. Watch and see what we mean. You can catch her at Shalin Liu, where this was filmed, with the same band this weekend. Get Tickets Here
There is so much going on tonight, I’m not sure how to decide what to do. There is everything from paino bar ~ Brazilian ~ jazz ~ Beethoven ~ Rock ~Reggae ~ DJ Dance Party. So get out there and enjoy all the great music on Cape Ann. See Full List here

Our son took this photo of the Lannon and the Ardelle.
What a great weekend and there is still great music around town tonight, get out and enjoy the music. See the full schedule here: http://www.gimmesound.com/Gloucester.cfm
According to the Gloucester Daily Times: Gregg Sorensen, a Rockport Music spokesman, said all concerts are selling well, but Chelsea Berry and the New England Gospel Ensemble, are “selling like hotcakes,” and The Kingston Trio concert in February is almost sold out. see the full article here.
Great music around town tonight from Dueling Painos at Giuseppe’s to Richard James Band that plays zeppelin, the dead, phish, floyd….and many more at Minglewood. Get out and hear some great music. Click here to see the full music lineup.
