Hey guys,
Wow, this is the most shows I have listed in quite a while. The weekend starts tonight, highlighted by the Velvet Caravan show at Trinity Church. I would also like to catch James Chapman’s new band, Goldie, but I think I’ll have to wait until their next show. I have listed several shows that should be good for those that can stay out later tonight. Friday presents lots of choices all over town. I will probably bounce between Col. Bruce Hampton at Barrelhouse and the punk show at El-Rocko (Dad Joke’s 2nd Anniversary Show, congratulations). The music starts early on Saturday, with an all-day festival at the Ships Of The Sea Museum. I’m not sure what to do later that night. But I may end up at the Wormhole for their 8th Anniversary Party. And congratulations to Amy and Jeff, 8 years is tough to do in the bar business. And, in true Savannah fashion, the weekend doesn’t stop there, there are good shows overflowing into the week. AM Rodriguez continues the roll he has been on lately with a show at the Sentient Bean on Sunday. El-Rocko has a swing Band on Tuesday and Wednesday. And, of course, the usual suspects continue for the rest of the week. I sure hope to see you around somewhere this weekend, be sure to say “hello”.
