With it now being Autumn, we can expect some of the outdoor live music events to one by one either go indoors or else simply discontinue until next Spring. And with a last-minute addition to the K’ville Street Dance, there are only 2 of those left, the first one happening this coming Thursday. Plus, there are only 97 more days to get your Christmas shopping done. It’s true what they say, “Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like an apple” … But at least this week we have a couple of special events to go along with the regularly scheduled ones. Here’s the live music guide for the week of 8/19 through 8/25…
After the hella fun we’ve had these last few weeks, it’s kinda nice to see things settle down a bit. Not that there isn’t any music this week, on the contrary – there’s gonna be plenty. See for yourselves – here’s the live music schedule for the week of 9/12 through 9/18…
Sorry, but I gotta rush through this week’s music guide. I’m off to the Blue Wing Blues Fest featuring Daniel Castro tonight. Woohoo! Hope I get everything, but if I omit someone, please let me know and I’ll edit it in Tuesday morning before I post. So, here’s the live music schedule for the week of 9/5 through 9/11…
Normally I’m annoyed when both the bands and venues neglect to post their upcoming shows and I have to search the world over to get that info. But this week it’s different because of what’s going on in The LC – The Lake County Fair and The Blue Wing Saloon’s Blues Festival! Pretty much sez it all… I’ll list the Blue Wing events with the BWS listings, the LCF I have already been posted separately. And over the weekend, these events will overlap to bring you one of the best weekends of music you’ll hear all year. I’m playing Saturday at the gazebo in the LC County Fair with Randy Hood and I’m going to the Monday night BWSBF show. Too much fun, folks! So, here’s the live music schedule for the week of 8/28 through 9/7…
Seems there’s a National Day for just about everything. Case in point, just yesterday, March 27th was declared National Quirky Country Song’s Title Day. I mean, how goofy is that? RIGHT?!? Well, this upcoming Saturday has been declared “National Haiku Day”, a day when everybody is supposed to come up with a Haiku poem. For the uninitiated, Haiku is a poetry style from Japan that involves three lines; the first has five syllables, the second has seven and the third has five. For example, here’s one I just came up with –
Lake County Music
Is a privilege indeed
It’s good for the soul.
Now, how poetic is that? So, you all have until Saturday to come up with your own Haiku. In the meantime, here’s the local live music guide for the week of 3/28 through 4/3…
The good news: it’s gonna be a pretty busy week in terms of holidays and observances, where Hannukkah started two days ago on Sunday, Winter Solstice happens on Wednesday, Christmas is on Sunday and the doubleheader of Kwanzaa and Boxing Day occurs on Monday. The bad news: because Christmas eve is on Saturday and Christmas Day is on Sunday, many places will be closed for these observances. But despite those days being sans live music, there’s at least one joint each day from Tuesday through Saturday to go out and get your live music fix. WOOHOO!!! Here’s the schedule, plus an updated NYE rundown for the week of 12/20 through 12/26.
“Eenie weenie chili beanie, the spirits are about to speak!” Anybody out there remember where this famous quote came from? Here’s a hint… Boris Badenov referred to this dynamic duo as “Moose ‘n’ Squirrel.” Okay, times up! It’s a line from the Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, which aired from 1959 through 1964. Like most kids, I would watch cartoons, but this was pretty much the only one I really liked because it was silly in a Three Stooges sort of way – full of puns, sarcasm, self-referential dialog, and other socially unacceptable wordplays, especially so for impressionable children like I was. I would watch the show with friends, laughing hysterically – but they didn’t really get it. I could relate to the patience and empathy of Rocket J Squirrel, marveled at the perseverance of Bullwinkle J Moose, who never stopped trying despite his constant failures, and sneered at the comic depiction of Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, and Fearless Leader. This, to me, was cartooning at its comic best. Okay, maybe I’m entering into my second childhood, but I hope you don’t mind me including references to the show throughout this music schedule. Here’s the live music guide for the week of 12/13 through 12/19…
This week’s activities should run the gamut between Shredding and a Car Show, with lots of live music events scrunched up in between. With Friday, Saturday and Sunday predicting good weather, the outdoor events are stacking up, while the indoor ones are gonna be just as busy. Enough prattle – here’s the live music schedule for the week of May 12th through May 16th…
