Hey guys,
It is not very often that I talk about music that is not in downtown Savannah, but last week’s Macon Bragg Jam Bus was a rousing success. It was a great time for everyone involved. I met a couple of new friends and got to see as many bands as I possibly could. I certainly hope that the Bus is an annual event, because I am ready to buy my ticket now.
There does seem to be a slight lull in the number of shows this week, but definitely not in the quality of the music going on. As far as I am concerned, that just means I can see (almost) everyone I want to see. I would like to point out a couple of shows that I am really looking forward to seeing. Eric Sommer is returning to Abe’s On Lincoln tonight [Thursday]. He is an excellent blues musician (although his Facebook page says pop/folk/acoustic) and always puts on a good show. And Abe’s is a great venue to see live music in, although they don’t have touring musicians as much as I wish they did. The Accomplices are returning to Savannah after their Alaskan(!) show. This is one of the best bands in Savannah and I try to catch them as often as I can. I haven’t had the chance to chance to catch SheHeHe yet, but I am looking forward to their show at the Jinx on Saturday. Here are those picks and more suggestions:
