This is it. Right now. August probably gives us, here in Gloucester, more entertainment choices than any other month — I haven’t really studied this, it just feels that way, but I’ll bet it’s true.
Shalin Liu‘s busy schedule is a prime example. Many of their concerts are sold out, but here are a few choice shows we recommend, all of which have good seats left.
Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes this Thursday, August 6th. They’re billing this show as ONE MAN, FIVE GUITARS AND TRUE ARTISTRY. No kidding. Get tickets here.
A.J. Croce next Wednesday, August 12. Knowing he’s son of Jim Croce might be enough to get you there. But you might as well just take it from Willie Nelson, who said, “A.J. Croce has wisdom beyond his years. With his music, he represents his generation with a profound sense of honesty in his lyrics and quality in his delivery. The future of entertainment is safe in his hands!”
And then there’s the Rockport Jazz Festival from August 13-16, featuring one of my newest friends, Sean Jones, on August 15. Sean was Henri Smith’s special guest at Saturday’s Block Party in Beverly and let’s just say he owned the crowd of thousands, who showed up. Expect great things from Sean Jones over the next few years!
Good Morning Gloucester
