Live Music 6/27-7/3...the countdown to the BIG weekend!

Happy Thursday, music lovers. It's the weekend before 4th of July so there's a festive spirit in the air. Lots of music starting tonight and continuing through next week. I've got you covered with what I know about through 7/3 but I'm sure there will be additions as the weekend gets closer, so please check on the blog before you go out to get the most up to date info. And spread the word to your friends to LIKE our FB page and to follow the blog. Please note that Pranzo's (near Harris-Teeter on St. Simons Island) has been added as a music venue. If you are out and about and know about other places with live music, let me know so we can make sure we're covering everybody out there.

If you're a bluegrass fan you know who Grandpa's Cough Medicine is. Festival favorites, they're here on SSI and playing at Palm Coast Coffee Friday night. Well worth the $5 cover. Mulligan's has a special show Saturday night with Bubba Sparxx. The Club at Bennie's plays host to the fabulous Caroline Aiken with her friends Kimbo McMinn, Jody Frost, Zane Tomlin & Vince Jarocki on Saturday night. She's the headline performer for the Sunshine Festival 4th of July Fireworks concert and she ALWAYS puts on a great show. I'm keeping this short and sweet because NEXT week is gonna be a busy one. Have a great weekend and go find the music that moves you!

Music, Music & More MUSIC! Live Music Schedule June 20-26

Happy Thursday, everybody. Let's just kick off the weekend early...whaddya say?! Liza Anne Odachowski is here for a visit, so she and Sam Brooks will be making beautiful music at Wake Up tonight. Greg Hester is over at Catch 228 tonight ready to sing you a tune during happy hour. Or stop in at The Club at Bennie's a little later to wish Tony Adams a Happy Birthday. There will be several musicians on hand to serenade our favorite Emerald Princess crooner and singing Santa on this special occasion. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TONY!

Continuing the weekend: In a rare musical performance at Brogen's North, Paul and Sarah Mozo will celebrate the longest day of the summer on Friday, beginning at 6pm with Happy Hour. Coastal Kitchen is bringing something new to the Golden Isles on Friday and Saturday: dueling pianos with The Andrews Brothers! How cool is that?! There's an Athens band in town on Saturday: Evan Barber & the Dead Gamblers at The Club at Bennies. Sunday night we've got a Jazz in the Park concert with Terry "Doc" Handy performing, so bring out your lawn chairs, a picnic, and get a good seat. The Not Brothers will be performing at The Full Moon Party at Ocean Lodge Sunday night, and Patrick says it might be their last for a while, so don't miss it. It's going to be another great weekend with lots of fantastic live music!

I've extended the listings through next Wednesday for some of the folks who have regular gigs and Open Mic nights, so you aren't missing anything early in the week. And, as always, if I get updates, I'll add them, so check the blog before you head out for the most accurate info and check our Facebook page for cancellations or changes. Spread the word!  Peace. Love. Music!
