This Saturday: The Royal Family Get Down!

As I sit here writing this piece, I’ve been taking a wonderful journey down my concert-going memory lane. I saw my first Soulive concert at the original House Of Blues in Cambridge back on May 20th, 2000. Similarly, I first saw John Scofield perform in a quartet at the Regattabar in Cambridge on March 16th, 1999. And then just about two months later, saw the Charlie Hunter/Adam Cruz duo on May 22nd, 1999 at the Somerville Theater. So the timing hits home, as I am essentially celebrating MY 10 year anniversary of being turned on to these artists.

I’ve only been to The Pines once, and it was in the Summer of 2006 – and I can honestly say, it’s the most beautiful small outdoor performance space I’ve ever been to. The weather looks like it will cooperate, so if you’re within a reasonable driving radius – I highly recommend check out this all-day high-grade talent show. I’ll be there.

Those who don’t want the night to end early can head over to Pearl Street for Adam Deitch and Break Science who will be playing the official after-party.
