Music Fun Week of July 22-29

MOJO RISING Debut at 19 Broadway
(Was that really in March?)
Fun with JOSH & TEAL, Denise, Tommy & John
Stay tuned ...

Mmm mmm.  The MUSIC I danced with this past week:
The BLUES BURNERS at Northgate!!  The Pulsators at Hopmonk!  A GREAT BIRTHDAY party!  The Great American Blues & BBQ with Austin DeLone, Nick Gravenitis, Roy Rogers, Miles Schon, Jimmy Dillon, Kevin Hayes, Erik McCann, Keith Crossan, and MORE!  Plenty of BLUES.  Hot hot hot!

Comin’ up:
Tonight TWANGFEST at Peri’s with my pals The Treble Makers!  That’s the late show … If I can get out of the house early enough I’ll begin at Fenix Blues Jam, with Special Guest Rudi Colombini.
Thursday Rudy and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones at Sweetwater.
Friday can you guess?  JAMES MOSELEY Dance Band at Fenix!  Can’t be 2 places or I’d be at Terrapin for Danny Click & The Hell Yeahs!  Or 3 places for Doc Kraft at Seahorse.  There are the earlier outdoor shows at Pacheco and at Marinwood; and good music also at Hopmonk (Vintage Grass); Sweetwater (Mustache Harbor), Trek Winery (Chime Travelers), Presidio (Swing Fever), and more.
Saturday likely Tribe of the Red Horse at Hopmonk – or Wall Street at Fenix, or IrieFuse at Sweetwater … also Lady Crooners at JCC.
Sunday another outdoor afternoon concert at Magnolia Terrace at the Elks, with Key Lime Pie.  And a little later MOJO RISING is at Piccolo Pavilion in Corte Madera!  Hopmonk has their Sunday Cookout Series.with Matt the Electrician & Bobby Jo Valentine.

Tuesday next:  Stymie & The Pimp Jones Luv Orchestra with Fenton Coolfoot & The Right Time in a free show at Sweetwater!
