Madison’s east side favorite Harmony Bar and Grill celebrated it’s 20th Anniversary under the stewardship of Keith Daniels on March 14th last month. A longtime lover and supporter of the blues, Keith decided to throw a mega concert at The Barrymore featuring the Bel-Airs, Westside Andy/Mel Ford Band, The Jimmy’s, Cash Box Kings, Jim Schwall/Andy Ewen Band, the Midwesterners, the Roddys and Jimmy Chuch & The Drunken Sailors. With hour-long sets starting at 1 pm, delicious (and free) food catered by Bunky’s, and the beer flowing, The Barrymore was packed with people before too long. More than 1500 people went through the doors to help Harmony celebrate! Here are some pictures from the late afternoon, early evening sets.. enjoy!
Cracker rolls into town soon to play the High Noon once again. This time it’s one of the intimate David Lowery and Johnny Hickman duo shows. (They call it “Unplugged” … But don’t you believe it!) … A Cracker show is always great fun, and I’m going to go whenever I can. I’ve just got a real soft spot for journeyman musicians like this; bands that tour frequently and continue to produce new music for decades.
I’ve been listening to their most recent release Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey and its another in a long line of really enjoyable releases. So I’m pleased to report that Lowery’s sense of irony, biting wit and acute observations remain intact.
We are streaming a few tracks here from the new release (including special live track recorded at the High Noon on Nov 8, 2007).
