Guitar aficionados should not miss the Blue Rhythm Boys this Friday at the Avalon – Tom Mitchell is one of the best in the Mid Atlantic; together he and Jim Stephanson put on a fabulously swinging show. And thank goodness the weather looks better for this Saturday, as we are planning on eating at least a dozen oysters, maybe two…at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Oysterfest. If we’re not too full, we plan to do a little shopping at the Christmas Bazaar at Wye Mills. Or maybe shop early, and then have oysters for lunch ? So many decisions !
Friday, November 4 – 8pm: Blue Rhythm Boys at the Avalon Theatre The Blue Rhythm Boys have made quite a name for
themselves in the DC area for their swinging blues style and tight vocals. The two guitarists, Tom Mitchell and Jim Stephanson, have individually played with the likes of Dan Hicks, Elvis Costello, and rockabilly legend Billy Hancock. Together the duo’s musical blend is guaranteed to knock your socks off, as a critic for the Washington Post put it. Or, as Dan Hicks says, “Swingin’ Acoustic Guitars, southern-tinged vocals, and the best repertoire East of Bucks County all combine to float your boat up the mighty Miss-i-sip!” – $20 Avalon Theatre 40 Dover St. Easton, Md 21601. 410 822 7299
