Good Concerts Upcoming In Our Area
 

This isn't a heads-up, it's a question requesting a heads-up on decent concerts nearby soon - man, I'm jonesing for good live music - :spin:

Anybody know of anything?

Last Thurs and Fri. were 2 good acts but that is history. Here is the rest of the month. Great place to see some quality blues, and a little jazz too, and good food and drink too.

The wife and I do these in the winter, but we are folkie blues types.
You get up close and personal, the tickets are very cheap, and most places have some great deserts:btu:

Too many name changes. :hs:

Robben Ford is worth seeing anywhere. Sounds great.

Geez, missed that post, T1 - Jorma Kaukonen was - or is - excellent, still listen to the Airplane and Hot Tuna on a semi-regular basis -

Does he still have the hairband tattoo on his forehead, I wonder?

Hell, he's probably got more tat left than hair by now...

Buffet in June. I will have to get my sniper rifle zeroed in;)

David Bromberg tonight at the Narrows too bad it's sold out
WMVY is going to broadcast it live
I saw him a few times in the 70's-early 80's and his shows were great.
One place was in CT and I think it was called Shaboo's? Anybody remember this place. Senior moments
Very talented
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N86YBxFhaqA

I remember the Shaboo! At least what I remember.....
Seriously,it was a great club.Saw many great acts there.Regulars were Taj Mahal,Muddy Waters,James Cotton,Pousette Dart,Rick Derringer,Winter Brothers,Roomfull of Blues,NRBQ,to name a few.
Derringer loved it so much,he moved to Ct,not far from the club and still lives here.
The Shaboo was owned by David "Lefty"Foster.It burned down some years ago.Lefty went on to form the "Shaboo All Stars" You never knew who would play with the "All Stars" from gig to gig.Lefty eventually accepted an offer from the Mohegan Tribe and the band has become "The Mohegan Sun All Stars",the casino's house band.Some may think this is a "sellout".I don't care,they still kick ass!!
