Tonight! (Friday,
August 26) Last minute schedule changes result in an appearance at Chief’s
Tavern by Frankie Lee, Mel Ford, and Tom McCarty. They’ll be playing that Maintainers-type blues without all those
noisy drums. (Kidding, drummers. You know we love you.) Downbeat at 6:30 pm.
Tomorrow night, Saturday
(August 27) The Sparks Band at The
Varsity Club—Beatles, Animals, Stones, and Kinks, Oh my! Even Beau Brummels,
and Left Banke. It’s easier than building a time machine. Where is The Varsity
Club, you ask? Head up through Lodi, past Okee, to Lake Wisconsin (also known
as The Wisconsin River), take the free ferry across, turn left, then keep eyes
right. You can’t miss it.
Big news for fans
of Big Wes Turner’s Trio. The one
and only Billy Flynn will be filling in on guitar for the whole month of
September! That’s three Thursdays—the first, third, and fifth—September 1, 15,
and 29. Blues? Yes. Sixties surf music? You betcha! Like it? Love it! That’s
Grammy winner Billy Flynn to you, Missy!
Also in September The Maintainers (with Rick Becker on
drums) play back-to-back gigs—Friday September 2, for the Mazomanie Music
Conservancy, and Saturday, September 3, to open up The Knuckledown Saloon’s big outdoor blues and rockabilly show.
Headliners are my personal all-time favorite band, the amazing BelAirs (biggest little band in all the
land).
Kudos to Jon Vriesaker
on fiddle and Dan Kennedy on guitar who answered the call last night (Thursday, August 25) and turned
up the heat on
the Birddog Blues Band performance at the
last concert of the season outside the Green County Courthouse in Monroe. (If
you missed it you also missed the headliners, the fabulous Family Business band.)
