Greetings All,
*** Save the Date!
Sunday, Nov 24, 3-6pm Zedervan's album release show at Aeronaut Somerville.
Why this is special? Because the group met and formed out of our open mic scene. I've heard some unreleased tracks and it is awesome. Very well done all around, musicianship, performance, songwriting. No holds barred!
*** Sad News! Menotomy Grill in Arlington, MA has cancelled its highly regarded Thursday night music series. The community is deeply saddened.
*** Happy News! The old Toad in Cambridge will be reopening as a music venue, with a different name. Now owned by the same fine folks that own the Burren and Bebop. (Sidenote: if you don't know, Toad, was one of the world's greatest places to see live music. No cover. Regular priced beers. Amazing talent with tons of original music. Best of the best played there. I saw "Lake Street Dive" play there maybe 13 years ago, give or take. Now they're playing MGM Music Hall this December 13, 2024!)
*** Heads up! Wednesday before Thanksgiving, no open mic at Ward 4.
*** For those that go to the KoC open mic in Melrose, we just created a FB group page where you can find pertinent updates. Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/musicinmelrose
Happy Halloween! ~ Tim
