FOLK NIGHT FEATURING:
Ron Carlson, Jan Luby and Lee Hargraves
Again, me with the early show... 330-600 every 1st Sunday at the radio station. In the round, 3 features and then open mic in the round. Serena has the rest of the year booked out with some fun themes so watch her space! Nice chatting with Ron Carlson and enjoyed his song John Henry & the Luddites!
Bonus pics of the new interactive art exhibit from the day before.

Quick jaunt into the city to see check out the 'new' Tuesday night residencies. 1st Tuesdays are now manned by an off shoot of the Blue Light Bandits and Daniel DeCristofaro. Funky, spacey, country and straight rock n roll. All great musicians that enjoy their craft and know all their cues.

Aug 29 2026 (Bees Deluxe & Troy Mercy Music)
Nice to have a double bill at Vincent's when my original plans fell through.
Demetri and I had made plans to go to the DOOM Fest that was outdoors at Ralphs. We arrived when the 1st band was on stage but were DENIED entrance. D doesn't drive and had only an expired driver's licence on him and the bouncer wouldn't budge. We couldn't believe that two guys ready to rock, both over 50, were not allowed to pay $25 to stand in a corral in the parking lot of Ralphs because of an ID.
We went to V's to regroup and Bees Deluxe were playing D had a b**r and we started to make a plan and ran into Dan Bungee and find out Troy is playing so we stuck it out for the 1st set.
Nice to hang out with D, all the regulars & meet the new guys in the band, chat to Cold Moon Arts Events about upcoming flea events...

15 years of the WEEKLY Tuesday night residency has come to an end. Don't fret , Jon & Co. will still have a monthly Tuesday night here ! Good to see fans & friends and fellow musicians show up and celebrate the music with the band.

Aug 23 2026 (Jubilee Gardens w the Gang of Three)
Sunday night early show at the radio station. Comfortable space with pro lights and sound. More of a listening room but they did have some dancers to Jubilee Gardens hypnotic and lush sounds. One long set of original material from a gifted songwriter and his talented group of friends.
Gang of Three was fun as well with original arrangements of covers of the Beatles, garage, classic rock and an always welcome cover of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day"

Aug 22 2026 (The L-Jays & Ryan Hart & the Blue Hearts)
Back in the city to catch Lynn & the L-Jays. I like their multi-decade set list, great vocalists and harmonies, and rocking band.
Hung outside to catch the late band and was treated to some chicago style straight ahead blues. As I was about to pack it up Bob Moon came in with the whole family celebrating his birthday and ended up staying out back with them smoking, chatting about music & life...

Fun day at the park with art, music, culture, and Kites!
It was grey and hardly a breeze but lots of fun flying and people watching. The 15' kite was gorgeous and watching the process of the unveiling. Good to see some familiar faces and chatting with Jennessa Art about the process and the progress on the wall mural. Fun photo adventure!

Aug 20 2026 (Open Mic)
Bridget Eileen Nault hosts an open mic every Thursday night in Worcester at a hidden brewery behind the old Rotman's. Nice space serving their own b**rs and food. Energetic host who kept it all moving with no breaks, welcoming to players of any skill level and genres, and supportive players and friendly fans.
Mark Belanger gets my nod of the night for including some songs that you wouldn't expect to hear here like Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love" and the Buzzcock's "What do I get".
