dave sag

The smell of desperation is still strong despite the windshield-wiping of the New Years Eve of Destruction. This year I resolve to do better and to push myself over the top of my medulla oblongation to you, my assorted nuts and bolts of Erato’s vision. May you all lose  those 10 pounds and nasty habits that you’re really afraid of losing, as they will not take the best part of your being with them!
So fans, put the ice bag and the resolutions back in the freezer and come greet the new year swinging! To the now/wow groovy  sounds of  the A-Train Orchestra.  The famous father/son combo of Rik and Alek Razdan, newly banned from Rockport are comin’ at you with a bucket full o’ blues, missile parts, and saxophones, ready to destroy your will. And we will!
They’ll be joined by their Stygian minions featuring Mr. John Hyde, loving husband and jazz snob, on  keys and accordion, Mr. Dan Whalen, on qatar, Mr. David “Doc” Vincent on upright drums, and myself Salmon Dave Sag on eructions and interruptions. Should be very interesting. If you blow into anything except a handkerchief or a breathalyzer, this is the night to sit-in, so look out for  brass interruptions of any variety. You never know who’s gonna show up!
And again, thank you all for a wonderful year. It was the seventh! Looking forward to the eighth! And we are nothing without you, the viewer! So stay tuned!

 Dave says,

 Well, this is it. The high point of my year. My therapist, me, warns me not to believe everything I think. I’m going with that one. And you should too. So, come out this Thursday to witness the Star in the East who’s gonna fall out of the sky and land on his ass just for you. Not Fred, I’m talking about that formidable pied piper Mr. Gordon “Sax” Beadle.Frontman, and master of the tenor honk-a-phonium, this guy is the drill sergeant of the blues. He’ll have you quaking and reaching for the brass ring all night long. Sax Gordon is my personal favorite blasting cap. Fire in the hole!!
But wait! There’s more. Knot only is Gordie on the bill, but also my favorite drumbler and comedy partner, Mr. Edd Scheer. Known for his incredible understanding of my random mutterings, Edd’s sure to raise your blood pressure by 30 PSI. We both suffer  from riposte traumatic stress disorder, leaving our incredible Qatarist, Mr. Mike DiBari, lurching in the wake of  the verbal tsunami. It’ll be the best night of the year! You’ll quake, you’ll shake, you’ll need  some kind of crutch. Bring Diaperine®.gordon sax

Guest Presentation
Friday, December 13, 8 PM
Presented by M.E. Productions
ROCKPORT BLUES SUMMIT
—LUTHER “GUITAR JUNIOR” JOHNSON, SUGAR RAY NORCIA, & “MONSTER” MIKE WELCH

blue-summit-02-lg

ROCKPORT BLUES SUMMIT
Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson has emerged as the bona fide leader of the West Side guitar style with his unique blend of blues, soul and funk. His blazing guitar riffs and plaintive vocals leave no doubt that Johnson is a blues master at the top of his game. He served an apprenticeship with Muddy Waters (one of the last direct links!) and Magic Sam before developing his own signature style. “Guitar Junior” earned his moniker by performing blistering blends of single string playing on the electric guitar. Magic Sam immediately signed him upon hearing the teenage “Little Junior” sing Sam Cooke’s “Somebody Have Mercy” at a club on Chicago’s West Side in the early ’60s.

Singer and harp man Sugar Ray Norcia’s career kicked into high gear in 1979 when he formed the original Sugar Ray & the Bluetones with guitar giant Ronnie Earl, and it has stayed there ever since. They backed Big Walter Horton, Big Joe Turner, Jimmie Rogers, Otis Rush, JB Hutto & countless others in the early ’80s all over the North East. In 1991 Norcia hooked up with Roomful of Blues and toured the world with the 11 piece band, appearing on their Grammy-nominated Turn It On, Turn It Up!

Mike Welch has been on the international blues scene for 15 years, and he’s only about 30!! Dubbed “Monster Mike” by Dan Ackroyd at the opening of the first House of Blues club some 15 years ago, Mike has seen his career move through three distinct phases already, from young teen phenom in the mid 1990s, to in-demand session guitarist, to a deep, soulful artist whose early promise has been fully realized working with Sugar Ray and solo projects.

Luther is at the top of his game and the pinnacle of his legendary career. Sugar Ray is nothing short of an icon in the New England blues scene, and “Monster Mike” is blazing his own distinct path. It’s the Blues baby, don’t miss it!

Thursday 8:00 – 11:00 ~ Dave Sag’s Blues Party with Dec.12 Dennis Brennan and Matt Stubbs. They’re coming! Shave your legs, ladies. Love these guys!

dave sag

Dave says,

Let’s welcome the Boston Brain Trust back to Gloucester in the form of  the incandescent Dennis Brennan with his cohorts Matt Stubbs and Chris Rivelli. Another close shave with  three chords and the truth. Every time these guys show up, I feel like I’ve been reborn into a higher form of reptile! Someday, I won’t need the sun to make my aorta pop with rhythm. But for now,I’ll get out of the house before it’s too late. Put on your Keds and come out swinging.
Dennis, of the oleaginous windpipes and great collection of hats, is truly a master of the blues. Not only that, but of many other styles, too. Why am I telling you this?? You should already know!  His gunzel  Matt Stubbs has travelled the world  many times around backing up many famous cats. A sizzling guitarist, watch his fingers: now you see it, now you don’t. And Chris? Well, he’s the de facto Rheumful o’ Blooz agitprop, reedy to scramble your eggs with his whisking style.
Truly one of my favorite agglomerations, I can’t wait to see how it ends! Remember: Winter hours now 8 to 11

Hello friends, Just a friendly e-mail to let you know that this Sunday, Dec.8th, 6:00 to 9:00pm, I will be playing at Giuseppe’s. This is something I’m am truly excited to be doing as I booked this as a solo….. however….yes, I will be bringing a couple of guests with me(Thad Bernard & Deby Wantman) to give a test run on some Crosby Stills & Nash songs we’ve been rehearsing. There is a fund raiser going on, Giuseppe’s will be donating 10% of the night to support the East Gloucester School. This means I am lucky enough to have a built in local crowd!!! Sweeeeeet! How ever this also means if you will be coming down to join me, Memory has asked to please call for a saved seat and let her know when you get there you are there for the music. She will do her best; the closer it gets the more challenging it may be. As always,I hope to see you there & thank you for your support, Toni Ann
