On Saturday night, I left the mellowness of the Gordon Lightfoot show at the Lowell Summer Music Series and headed to The Back Page Jazz and Comedy Club, also in Lowell, to see Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen tear the roof off the venue! Sometimes […]

What a day of incredible music! The first full day of the 2015 Green River Festival had a fantastic schedule, as I have come to expect from this Festival. Despite the unrelenting heat (which was worse the following ay), people danced, paraded, […]
