What a beautiful summer in New England so far. A trip to Scandinavia and Germany in July, plenty of gigs of all kinds. I can't thank you enough for all the great moments that have occurred from Memorial Day right through to this last weekend. The support for the arts has been superb. It's been non-stop. The BANDIT KINGS are taking off in a real way and I can't believe we did our first gigs only 5 months ago. We've been on the radio, played the famous Plough and Stars and go out of state this fall with the west coast calling us this winter. Look for Gigs in New York in September, Cambridge in October. SAFETY 80S has been riding a great summer on Rocky Neck, Salem and coming up to our old friends Captain Carlos late August. Safety plays the Topsfield Fair on Columbus Day and Watch for our first Casino gig at Twin Rivers Lighthouse Bar coming Halloween weekend. KBMG has been invited to the Celebrate Gloucester Concert with Charles Neville, Henri Smith and Roomful Of Blues Labour Day Weekend on Sunday September 5th and Travels to Portsmouth NH and the Dolphin Striker on Oct 8th to kick off the long weekend. KBMG continue acoustic tuesdays at our beloved Jalapenos. What else can I say but make a reservation and come enjoy the best mexican food with David Brown, Dave Mattacks, Wolf Ginandes and I. KBMG tuesdays at Jalapenos have become an institution and the place to be tuesday nights and I'm not kidding about reserving early. Locally the Monday night Jam at the Rhumbline is back in a big way and to celebrate 15 years of Jams we're bringing Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski of Classic TAB Trey Anastasio Band to help make this a night to remember. Special guests all night plus an intro set of Russ and Ray's orginal duo work. I'd advise you get there early for this very special evening. Alchemy Village Night made some renovations for the better and is packing them in with an eclectic mix of guests like The Silver Spades, Marina Evans, Ron and Sheila, Joe and Renee. Tapas is the thing to try now at Alchemy so if you haven't been lately it's time to come on by and try something new and interesting. The music is early so you'll have plenty of time to get home or get out for the rest of the unofficial weekend kick-off every thursday night.
