Yesterday witnessed the first day of the first ever North Beach Music Festival, taking place at North Beach Bandshell in Miami, Florida. The day saw performances from some local acts like The Heavy Pets, and then later on saw headlining sets from the likes of The Motet, Karina Rykman, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong.

Hot Tuna at the Capitol Theatre, December 4th, 2021, this is the second rescheduled date for a performance that was originally set to be played in July 2020. Now it's a year and a half later and that's a lot of time for anticipation. Almost like my first concert, I still get the pre-show jitters. We've seen this band dozens of times, add in the fifty plus free Quarantine Concerts live from the Fur Peace Ranch and there has been a lot of great music to enjoy.

"The Dirty Street Grass Company" tour, consisting of Kendall Street Company and The Dirty Street Grass Players is about to come to a close this weekend - on Sunday Dec 12th (at Stella Blues in New Haven). For the seven date mini co-headlining tour, the two bands have each performed individual sets, and then come together for a superjam collaboration set at the end of each show.
