When blues legend James Montgomery plays the
harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's
recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg
Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty
years, Montgomery plays with authority. While
growing up in Detroit he learned first-hand from
the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and
Jr. Wells - at the legendary "Chessmate." Over
the years, he's carried on in the tradition and
continues to be a vital presence in Blues as one
of the most dynamic performers on the scene.

Frank Morey, Scott Pittman, & Matt
Murphy
Ok as most of
you know one of my favorite shows
Singer-songwriter Frank
Morey has never been accused of
having a sweet, pretty, angelic sort
of voice. The Lowell, MA, native is
known for a rough, rugged, throaty
style of singing, and his voice is
perfect for his very earthy,
blues-minded folk-rock. Morey's
expressive vocals are as gritty as
they are soulful.
Take a chance if you have never seen
Frank you will not be
disappointed!!!! I Promise

An early St.
Patricksday treat
Jim McGrath
 The first thing you notice about Jim McGrath is the easy competence with which he delivers his songs. The rich baritone has been seasoned over the decades and like a very fine wine – or whiskey -- it is only now coming into its full flavor. The next thing you notice is that Jim never takes his eyes off his audience. He’s constantly on the prowl, looking to make contact with you and bring you his direct vision of the subject of the song he’s singing. It might take a little longer to appreciate what a masterful guitar accompanist he is, but Jim McGrath is the whole package. A saloon singer extraordinaire, evoking an almost forgotten era when the fellow playing and crooning in the corner of your local pub was the only (and best) entertainment you’d find.

The Little Mahrud Jazz Orchestra features Baraiolo and Jerry Seeco on trumpet, Bob Holfelder on trombone, Bill MacGillivray on drums, Jeff Cox on guitar, Ben Aldrich, bass, and a sax section composed of Steve Gaudreau, Mike Crowley, Philippe Cretien and Rich Lebedz.

 Sherman Lee and the Dillonaires CD Release Dirty, Dusty RoadSherman Lee with son Andrew and daughter Anna are multi-instrumentalists with strong, clear voices who perform old-timey Southern music and shape-note songs. They combine their talents and love for traditional music with an upbeat sense of humor that keeps listeners on their toes -- when not tapping them -- throughout a performance. They're as much fun to watch as they are enjoyable to listen to.
Opening Tonight: Andy Cohen
 Andy Cohen has been playing one kind of old time music or another since he was barely tall enough to reach the piano keys. His best-known virtuosity is in the blues - the good old, honest, down-to-earth, licks-filled acoustic blues. He is lucky (and old) enough to have learned directly from some of the greats, including Jim Brewer, Pink Andersen, Honeyboy Edwards, Rev. Dan Smith, Daniel Womack, and many more. He is a scholar of the works of Rev. Gary Davis, and comes just about as close as anyone can to replicating Rev. Davis' intricate style of guitar playing.

 Marylou is an artist who performs pre-war blues from the 1920's & 30's. She covers major artists from the delta to east coast piedmont style players such as Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Blind Boy Fuller and Memphis Minnie along with mandolin players such as Yank Rachell.

Adam Goldberg, Frasco-Rohrer Bring Change of Pace to Sunday Night Jazz In the mood for a piano man who blends a Billy Joel-like persona with his own intense music? How about a manic duo whose jazz-infused pop tunes are a match for the pair’s rapid-fire banter? You'll find it hard to resist a smile--or tapping your feet–when pianist/singer-songwriter Adam Goldberg is joined by tuneful cutups Chris Frasco and Sean Rohrer in a split show . Chris Frasco's music blends elements of jazz with everyday pop. The songs are upbeat, catchy, and fun to sing along to. Frasco’s partner is percussionist-singer Sean Rohrer, who occasionally swaps his drums for Frasco’s guitar. Goldberg’s piano-based rock draws on influences ranging from pop culture (game show host Bob Barker gets a nod in one of his tunes) to pop psychology (“In Advance” warns that the artist might have turned out just a bit different than what some of his friends had imagined). His intense live performances along with his two albums of original material are both stimulating and thought-provoking. Mixing rhythmic piano riffs with poignant and often sarcastic lyrics makes for a powerful listening experience. $7 Cover 7pm Show |
