John Scofield Plays Country Music? Yes, He Does!
I know John Scofield‘s jazz as well as his work with Medeski Martin and Wood, and was intrigued enough when I read the description of this project to attend a show at Regattabar (one of four that weekend). I am so glad I did!

Go See Girls Guns And Glory Now!
I was quite excited for the Girls Guns and Glory show at The Sinclair recently. Not only is this one of my favorite bands, but Julie Rhodes – another favorite – opened the show! How great is it to be able to see friends knock it out of the park at a wonderful venue with an alleviating audience that was large despite competing with a Patriots playoff game!

Bluegrass At Its Finest
Del and Dawg – Del McCoury and David Grisman – are a couple of the finest bluegrass musicians making music today so the prospect of seeing them share the stage at The Cabot excited me.

An Evening Of Extraordinary Music
The On Stage! Series at The Chevalier Theatre was an ideal venue to host the incredible Shun Ng and the Shunettes on a lovely winter evening. This series seats around one hundred people at cloth-covered tables on the stage along with the musicians.
Shun Ng and the Shunettes
I am extremely familiar with Shun and his superb guitar playing, but have only seen him with the Shunettes (Deon Mose and Angel Chisholm) a couple of times (including a very cold New Year’s Day outdoor show). I am almost at a loss for words to describe the power of these artists.

See The Fabulous Shun Ng & The Shunettes
One of my favorite up-and-coming acts, Shun Ng & The Shunettes, are performing at the Chevalier Theatre in Medford on February 18th! This show is part of the theatre’s On Stage! series, where the audience sits at tables on the stage facing the auditorium and the artists are also on the stage.
Watch For This Up-And-Coming Artist
I was introduced to Ayla Rose‘s new single, a cover of Tracy Chapman’s big hit, “Give Me One Reason“. What a powerful, soulful voice this 16-year-old woman possesses!
Ayla Rose – Fenway, Boston, MA
Ayla was joined by a great group of musicians, some of whom are friends of mine and others I know by reputation. She is based in the Boston area, and I look forward to seeing her perform.
Check her out by clicking on the song title!
