With jazz, country and rrraaawwwkkk just a few blues beats away from each other, it only makes sense that great music has a little of each in it once in a while, not to mention the occasional 4th chord, melody, coda, etc. Because mixing-up the musical gene pool definitely helps keep bands...and audiences...healthy, even-tempered and resistant to disease, we've invited my daughter Sara (front row, 3rd from left, lifting a Pabst Pounder) to rock a few songs with us at George's Tavern on the "First Friday" in August (8/7) with Krispy Brothers opening at 9 pm.
If you don't know Sara, she just received a Bachelor of Arts degree from UW-Milwaukee's Peck School of the Arts with a dual concentration in Jazz Studies and Multiple Woodwinds. She's a great musician, a good sport, our favorite (only) daughter, and with a new full-time job on top of a long list of paying gigs, she should be our last tenant hopefully.
Throw-in our friends and a great classic rock cover band, Krispy Brothers, and you'll be sure to see rock mixing with country, jazz mixing with rock, classic covers mixing with originals, woodwinds mixing with guitars, youth mixing with experience, and a young professionally-trained musician with a bright future mixing with the rest of us.
So enjoy Racine's downtown scene on the August 7 edition of their monthly "First Fridays" celebration, and be sure to make your way to George's Tavern, 1201 N. Main St., by 9 pm for what could be THE rock & roll show of the summer. Thanks for tuning in to the blog again, and keep rockin'!
