Chelsea Berry Concerts at Shalin Liu Rescheduled to March 1st and 2nd
This just in from Chris Langathianos (Chelsea Berry’s manager)
Regrettably, the coming storm has made it necessary to cancel both the Friday and Saturday Chelsea Berry concerts at the Shalin Liu Performance Center. The shows have been rescheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 1st and 2nd and tickets will be honored for those performances. If you are unable to attend those shows, Rockport Music will issue refunds on previously purchased tickets.
And this from Shalin Liu’s Karen Herlitz, Director of Marketing at Rockport Music:

Due to the impeding inclement weather, Rockport Music announces that both concerts this weekend (Friday, February 8 & Saturday, February 9) with singer-songwriter Chelsea Berry are re-scheduled for Friday, March 1st and Saturday, March 2nd.
Ticketholders will be contacted via email by the Rockport Music Box Office next week to exchange tickets. Please note: The Box Office will be closed on Friday, due to the weather. Please check our homepage for updates on other concerts this weekend.
Box Office phone number is 978-546-7391.
Here’s what they didn’t say: There were still tickets left to the Chelsea’s Friday show, so that probably means you could still get tickets to one of these shows in March. If you don’t have tickets yet, I say call up and get them now before everybody else figures this out (remember, you heard it on GMG FIRST!)
If you’re not sure about whether or not you want to go, watch this video from her new CD:

Beautiful new love song from Chelsea Berry ~ Check out the video
The queen of breakup songs nails it with this inspiring, honest, uplifting love song that celebrates a true, working relationship. My Heart is only one of 10 excellent songs on Chelsea’s stellar new album Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (get it here), officially released last night at a packed, upbeat party at Shea’s Riverside in Essex. Aren’t you glad you have tickets to see her at Shalin Liu this weekend? (More Chelsea Berry Videos here.)
Now get out there tonight and enjoy all the great live music before the storm hits. See the complete live music schedule here.

P&V’s LOL #12: Sometimes you just can’t blame anybody
(For those of you who have just tuned in, “LOL” stands for Law of Life. Click here to see the first 11.)
Everybody’s looking for somebody to blame — especially for last night. First there’s the power outage. Even though the official line still makes vague reference to an “abnormality”, you can bet people are scrambling to nail somebody’s ass — or “hold them accountable” to use the latest PC term.
Then there’s Beyoncé. Joey may have liked her lip-synched dance numbers, but Vickie and I have to agree with venerable music curmudgeon, Bob Lefsetz, who said, “I wasn’t sure what to do after Beyonce’s appearance, join a gym or masturbate.” (We know Joey’s done the former. What about the latter, Joey?)
Lefsetz tries to blame Madonna, CDs, Hip Hop (read his full tirade here) and he lauds Prince, Adele, Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. (Joey likes The Lumineers too. See this post. Their show tonight at House of Blues — yup, across the bridge — is sold out.)
Singers love to lay blame. Usually they blame somebody else, like when Beyoncé admonishes “you should have put a ring on it.” Once in a while somebody writes a great song blaming himself. Of those, my favorite is Guilty by Randy Newman, sung here perfectly by Bonnie Raitt.
You’ll be blaming yourself big time if you don’t get VIP tickets to see Henri Smith featuring Charles Neville this Friday. It’s the best dinner / show / Mardi Gras party deal around. Best of all, you can avoid feeling guilty because you’ll be helping to send local YMCA Teens on their service-learning trip to New Orleans in April. Oh, and Henri won’t be lip-synching.
The older I get the more I realize that casting blame feels good, but doesn’t accomplish much — sort of like masturbating.
Blame is best left to songs. Chelsea Berry knows how to write a great song that lays blame. And you can bet she won’t lip-synch when she sings it at her Shalin Liu concerts.

Fun Friday Night Coming Up Tomorrow – Check out the videos
Even though this is a blog — and a blog is supposed to be an immediate YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST medium — people have been telling us we should talk more about what’s happening the day after our post because they often read the posts the next day. We get it. Not everybody sits at a computer all day — and even some of you who do have bosses that want you to get some work done, not surf the web all day. So here we go:
IT’S A BIG FRIDAY NIGHT on Cape Ann with music for every taste. If you play your cards right, you can get to at least 2 live shows. Start out with Linda Amero Menage a Trio at the Franklin or Mia Chung, Elisabeth Ann Larson and Soo Bae performing all three of Brahms Piano Trios at Shalin Liu in Rockport. Then finish up with Ned & The Big Babies @ Rhumb Line. Plus there’s plenty more for nearly every other musical taste. See the full lineup here.
Here’s a video for all you piano, violin and cello players of Brahms Piano Trio No. 1 where you can follow along with the score:
And here’s one of my favorite clips (if a bit wobbly) of Ned & the Big Babies. Don’t you just love that groove! Ned is always right there with you and he’s one of those great bass players who plays bass like he LOVES it, not like he’d rather be playing lead guitar.

A rare opportunity to hear all three Brahms Piano Trios this Friday – Check out the video
This simply doesn’t happen very often. All three Brahms Piano Trios performed by three world-class artists, acclaimed for their “technical brilliance,” “breathtaking virtuosity” and “smooth and stylish” in one evening at an acoustically perfect concert hall built especially for this kind of music — and it’s right in your own backyard. Oh, and did I mention it helps support the the students of the Northeast Massachusetts Youth Orchestras? Watch (and listen to) the video to see why Shalin Liu is THE place to be on Friday if you love Brahms or chamber music or student music programs or music in general! GET TICKETS NOW!
Lots of Cape Ann favorites perform in Gloucester tonight and tomorrow. Check out the full live music listing here.

If you missed Jon Butcher last night, watch this video
As we reported last night (in this post), Allen Estes joined Jon Butcher and Charlie Farren on Jon’s song Coleman Mine that he wrote for the HBO series Deadwood. Jon and Charlie performed with James Montgomery and David Hull to a sold out house at Shalin Liu. If you missed it, here’s the song from Allen’s show Local Music Seen.
You can catch the full show tomorrow (Sunday) at 6pm on Cape Ann TV Channel 12.

Music tips for this weekend that you might not know about
Chelsea Berry will be Aurelia Nelson’s featured guest on her North Shore 104.9 show Curtain Up this Sunday, Jan 20, at 9am. You don’t even have to get out of bed. Just tune your clock radio to 104.9 and set it to go off at 8:59am. Lie in bed and listen comfortably.
If you saw Jon Butcher on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes, you’ll know he’s playing at Shalin Liu tonight with James Montgomery, Charlie Farren & David Hull. As of this post there were about 15 tickets left and you can get them here. Jon may ask Allen to join him on a song they performed together on the Local Music Seen.
Another good bet for tonight is Renee & Joe @ Minglewood Tavern. Here they are at Latitude 43 for the November Berklee in Gloucester show:
As for the rest of the weekend, we honestly don’t have any idea how you’re going to choose from over 2 dozen excellent shows — and plenty of them early enough to take the kids. Here’s the complete live music lineup.
GOOD LUCK!

New Concerts: Larry Coryell, Chelsea Berry & Tamir Hendelman @ Shalin Liu
This just in from Karen Herlitz @ Rockport Music:
New Concerts Announced at Rockport Music
Rockport Music announces some new additions to our 2012-13 Season. Enjoy the highest quality of concerts and presentations year-round at the stunning, seaside Shalin Liu Performance Center. Additions to the 2012-13 Season include:
Since local favorite singer/songwriter Chelsea Berry sold-out her concert on Saturday, February 9, at 8 pm, Rockport Music has added a second night on Friday, February 8, at 8 pm. Back by popular demand, singer/songwriter Chelsea Berry performs with a tremendous edge, power and finesse. Chelsea’s presence has been described by listeners as “compelling… she draws the entire house into her world like moths to a flame.” Combined with her acoustical guitar skills, Berry will charm audiences with popular hits as well as original songs, including pieces from her CD “I Wonder.” Chelsea has opened for such artists as Livingston Taylor, Roger McGuinn, and Chris Isaak. The Dejas open the concert. Tickets: $19-$34 [Editor’s note: We posted about this on Wednesday here]
Known as the pioneer guitarist merging jazz, rock, free-form improvisations, and Eastern influences, Larry Coryell brings his eclectic style back to the Shalin Liu Performance Center on Friday, March 22, at 8 pm. Described by critic Whitney Balliett as “the most innovative and original guitarist since Charlie Christian,” Coryell’s career spans four decades, over 60 albums (dozens more as a sideman), and performances with some of music’s heavy-weights like Eric Clapton, John Scofield, Elvin Jones, and Chick Corea, to name a few. Also a consummate composer, he tells Rockport Music, “I write music because I can’t help it. I think perhaps I want to complement all the great compositions already out there…Wayne Shorter and Sonny Rollins come to mind, and of course, Monk!” Tickets: $19-$34
Performing on Saturday, May 11, at 8 pm, award-winning jazz pianist and composer Tamir Hendelman has performed and recorded with such notable artists as Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, and John Pizzarelli. With awards from ASCAP and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, his latest album Destinations hit number one on the JazzWeek Jazz Charts. Hendelman’s trio explores standards, Brazilian music, blues, and Hendelman’s own Israeli roots. The LA Jazz Scene proclaims that, “Hendelman played with a fullness of content and intensity, bringing new presentations of tunes. Not a fixed position player, Hendelman wears off the ivory over the entire keyboard.” Tickets:$18- $32
For ticket information and details on the 2012-13 Season offerings, please visit our website at www.rockportmusic.org. Tickets are also available through the Box Office at 978-546-7391 or visiting 35 Main Street, Rockport, MA. The Box Office is open Monday-Friday, 10am-4 pm.

BREAKING NEWS: Guess you’re not screwed after all
A couple of weeks ago we warned you (in this post) about waiting until the last minute to get tickets to Chelsea Berry’s triumphant return to Shalin Liu with her new band, performing songs from her new CD.
Well, Chelsea decided to give all you procrastinators a second chance by offering a second show on Friday, February 8 at 8pm (the Saturday, Feb 9 show is sold out) and remember, you heard it here on GMG first! The Dejas will open this show with their 4 piece band just like the Saturday show.
Now, don’t screw this up and think you can just sit there and procrastinate some more. This show was just announced so there are still good seats left (clicks on this link to get some). But they won’t last long.
Just in case you missed Chelsea opening for Chris Isaak at North Shore Music Theatre with her band last June, here’s a taste of what you can expect next month in a much more intimate setting:
Don’t let today’s snow (which is now melting) dampen your entertainment for the evening. There are excellent live music choices tonight. See the complete lineup here.

Local rising star profiled in Northshore Magazine
Last week (in this post) we warned you against waiting until the last minute to get tickets to see Chelsea Berry at Shalin Liu on Feb 9.
You may have thought we were just helping promote her concert, but you’d be wrong. That concert will sell out. Chelsea Berry doesn’t need our help promoting it. That’s because she’s a rising star, which is precisely why Northshore Magazine chose to feature her in their latest issue (see here).
We posted the warning so you wouldn’t miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see her debut new music with her new band at one of the most spectacular venues anywhere on Earth.
It won’t be long before tickets to a Chelsea Berry concert will cost at least a hundred bucks, they’ll sell out in a day, and even if you’re lucky enough to get them, you’ll very likely be a lot farther from the stage than the last row at Shalin Liu is. Plus you’ll have to drive an hour and pay for parking.
Don’t take our stellar talent and venues here on Cape Ann for granted. Look at it this way: It’s a Sunday in the dead of winter, yet there’s plenty of good live music to choose from tonight. See the lineup here.

You could be screwed
As of yesterday, there were only 50 tickets left to Chelsea Berry’s triumphant return to Shalin Liu with her new band, performing songs from her new CD. And the concert is on Feb 9 (five weeks from Saturday).
Do you really want to be one of those people who clicks on this link in two weeks and screams at the computer, Oh Sh*t, it’s sold out?
Just in case you missed her opening for Chris Isaak at North Shore Music Theatre last June, here’s a taste of what you can expect next month in a much more intimate setting:
Now just because it’s cold, doesn’t mean the weekend doesn’t start on Thursday. Good live music choices tonight. See the complete lineup here.

Toad Hall Bookstore, Main St.
In Gloucester:
Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, Commercial St.

Here’s a list of the live music (dozens of choices). The whole shebang goes from 6pm to midnight and is one of the best entertainment values of the year. You can download a map and complete schedule (in table format) here. Plus if the weather cooperates (which it just might) you can see the moon, Jupiter and its moons, and galaxies so far away they’ll convince you that you really are as insignificant as you thought — a great way to begin the new year. The Zip Line Kid and I are still talking about how much fun we had looking through the telescopes set up by the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club at Dock Sq.
Last year we were too late to get in to see Cape Ann Big band at Shalin Liu. We won’t make that mistake this year. Here’s a sample of what we missed:
Plenty of opportunities to get into the party spirit tonight (see complete live music listings here). Might be a good time to check out Mike O’Connell and his excellent band at Minglewood starting at 9pm.

All your shopping done? If not, NYRE Buttons could save your butt
OK, you’ve had Ladies Night and Men’s Night, but you’re still not done. Or if you’re like me you haven’t started yet. We went to Men’s night last night and what did I do? Saw the Two Buddies Show at Alchemy, bought cheese, pate and olives at The Cave (I know I was supposed to by buying gifts, but I was hungry), talked with lots of people I don’t see every day and then it was late and Vickie and John (who had been Christmas shopping the whole time) wanted to go. Oh well, guess I’ll go back to plan A, which is to start my shopping at noon on Christmas Eve. Then I’m focused.
But wait! You don’t have to procrastinate like I do. You can get New Years Rockport Eve buttons for everybody still on your list. It really is one of the best entertainment values you will ever get on Cape Ann with dozens of artists performing all over Rockport from 6 to midnight — and beyond (see live music schedule here). Plus magic, puppetry, story telling, fortune telling, face painting, balloon making and lots more for kids and parents.
Here’s where you can get buttons:
In Rockport:

On Wednesday, you could get to nearly every live show in Gloucester if you scheduled it right (as I pointed out in this post). That’s probably not gonna work this weekend, ergo, you’re just gonna have to choose.

Chestnut is known for blending such styles of Gospel, blues, as well as tones of Jelly Roll Morton’s ragtime and early jazz.
The New York Times hails, “His brand of crisp articulation and blues-inflected harmony evokes another era…multifaceted and dynamic…Mr. Chestnut was the evening’s star and he brought charisma to the role…” Additionally, Time Magazine states that, “what makes Chestnut the best jazz pianist of his generation is a willingness to abandon notes and play space.” Chestnut’s new album, Journeys, is his most compelling to date—his playing is lyrical, timeless, and always deeply soulful.
