I’m glad to have seen touring bands like the Sun Ra Arkestra and Bob Dylan.

Tonight it’s The Fleshtones at a bar. 12 bucks, no ticket surcharge (latest BS is paying for said service charge to ticketmaster at the door for a venue owned by livenation on the night of the show).

Earlier this year I enjoyed The Knitters.

Yup, went to the HouseofBlues last year.

Skip the damn COEXIST crap and Buddha statues, and cut your outrageous beer prices.

There is still a decent little scene in the CambridgeSomervilleMA bar area, some very nice Americana stuff at places like TOAD, ATWOODS, PRECINCT etc.

You could check out names like Tim Gearan, Christian McNeil and the Sea Monsters.....doing weekend residencies at Atwoods and Precinct.

Tonight for instance, at TOAD, no cover charge, Nawlins Funk played by Confederacy of Dumpsters....at Precinct, the MardiGrasBall Troupe in honor of Bastille Day.....No, they couldn’t play two seperate nights but the same one.
