One of our open mic community members, Conor Kenney, has a great porch ( my group, Cold Car played last summer ) near the Sam Adams Brewery and is looking for more musicians who’d like a performance slot.    Send him an email w/ your stuff. conor@conorkenney.com

He was a jolly fellow, kind and encouraging to all, and a pleasure to call friend. He loved bringing in his original Gretsch Tennesean, and occasionally his vintage Ampeg amplifier. Every cover song he played had a purpose and a story to go along with it. He was also an avid sailor who gave lessons to all, including the blind! We’ll miss you Ed.

Know any percussionists, singers, sax players, guitar soloists that can’t sing, etc.? It seems these types of people are under the impression that our open mics are not for them. Au contraire, mon frére, we have and can make opportunities for playing, sitting in on a solo, adding background harmony, leading a song w/ simple chord progressions, etc. Its not karaoke or a blues jam, but it is a great way to meet new people in our music community and expand our musicianship.

Ken Carter writes heartfelt poetry that shoots arrows at realism. Each well-penned song is accompanied by his own rhythmic, percussive guitar work and a whiskey voice reminiscent of Ray LaMontagne and Van Morrison.

10:30- Dylan Roddick

Dylan Roddick is a vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter based out of New York City. His music showcases his melodic, catchy songs, powerful vocals, and dynamic guitar playing.  He fronts a trio composed of veterans Keith Lentin (bass) and Anton Fig (drums).  The music they create together is emblematic of authentic rock sounds of the past while being a completely contemporary edgy rock attack. The single ‘Cellular Baby’is available as a vinyl 45″, a download from iTunes, CdBaby, Amazon, and as a free download from www.dylanroddick.com.

***OTHER HAPPENINGS:

My band, The Almighty Buck just played a Dana Farber benefit after a cycling rally. Our bassist, Leah Ferjulian, also our fill-in open mic host, rode 60 miles and then played a full set with the band while drinking her beer...kind of like a triathlon, but different! ...the band’s next show is at Night Shift Brewery, Everett, Friday, July 31st 7-9pm. Listen anytime at www.TheAlmightyBuck.US

Greg Guba will be performing at the Danvers Farmer’s (Danvers City Hall) on Friday, July 3rd, 3-6pm.

Best wishes and safe travels to our Devlin’s open mic’r, Mr. Sonny Jim Clifford (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5c9EAT2-mg  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sonny-Jim-Clifford/212532552124642 ) and he sets off on a cross-country tour starting in Kentucky with Erin Harpe and the Delta Swingers.  http://www.erinharpe.com

This year St. Patrick’s Day falls on our Tuesday Open Mic. To keep the day festive, you’re invited to play an Irish song as part of your set, though not necessary.  We’ll be spinning traditional Irish tunes in between sets as well.  We expect it to be very busy and the open mic will be set up on the opposite side. The restaurant asks that we all please be extra aware of our instruments so as not to disrupt the flow of Guinness & Corned Beef. (FYI We’ll have to play the night by ear a bit., regarding start time, set lengths & a good mix of traditional music.) It’s gonna be a good time!

***Do you have a show coming up? 

This email goes out about the second or third week of every month. If you’ve got a show coming up, send me an email with the details and I’ll list it at the end of each message. There’s a lot of great talent in our Open Mic community. It’d be great to know when/where our friends & peers are playing.
