We’re singing the Winter Blues here this week at the Stone Church

We have a weekend of blues and funk planned for you, here at the Stone Church.  Beginning tonight, the monthly residency of the Wild Eagle Blues Band comes with their Stormy Mondays: Seacoast Blues Jam. Then Friday’s early show features blues powerhouse Mr. Nick and the Dirty Tricks.  Friday’s late show sees the return of the R&B outfit Miss Fairchild with local fusion band Sassquatch opening.  Saturday, the night belongs to Stone Church funk favorites Superfrog with Zeme Libre.   Sunday the Bluegrass Bureaux Cats swing back in!

Stormy Mondays: Seacoast Blues Jam will happen every 2nd Monday of the month- rain, snow, or shine! The Seacoast Blues Jam will begin at 7:30pm with a set by the house band, Wild Eagle Blues Band (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keys). The second set will be opened up to anyone who would like to come jam with the band!

Nick David’s harmonica playing has a swagger – developed over thousands of one-nighters from Massachusetts to Memphis and from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, and even across the pond to Europe. Or maybe it’s a swing, or a little extra hip-shake, just like the grooves generated by the powerhouse band he’s formed with four other kingpins of the New England blues scene: Mr. Nick & the Dirty Tricks. Mr. Nick & the Dirty Tricks unites veteran musicians Nick David (a.k.a. Mr. Nick), “Lonely” Gus Carlson, Teddy B. (Bukowski) and Rick Rousseau for one of the region’s most formidable live outfits in any genre. But their hearts belong to blues.

Boston’s R&B ensemble Miss Fairchild is joyfully committed to The Show; spectacle, musicianship, awe and entertainment. Performing in the grand tradition of the Motown/Stax innovators of the 60’s, and the glittery Pop-Funk icons of each succeeding decade, MF exists amongst a new tier of R&B showmanship. Channeling both the urban ferocity of The Dap Kings as well as the slick live acts of Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars, they tilt their fedoras to the past, while dancing in tandem with the contemporary. The fusion band, Sassquatch opens.

Show at 10 pm

The Stone Church Music Series presents the Bluegrass Bureaux Cats! The Bluegrass Bureaux Cats are a group of friends who’ve played in various combinations over the years, and have come together recently to play a variety of songs we’re really excited about. Mostly bluegrass,(traditional & modern), plus some folk & swing. Originals and covers. Plus, we really liked the idea of a band name that could be abbreviated as “BBC”.
