Last month we played a show in Marblehead at the Me & Thee. The incredibly hard working all-volunteer staff made the night a wonderful experience for us. The person with the vision for an all-Marblehead band opening night (and the opening of their 40th season) was Kathy Sands-Boehmer. She puts in countless hours following the New England music scene and is always strategically planning interesting and exciting nights of music for all of those lucky enough to make the trip to the Me & Thee.
Here’s a video that someone from the audience shot and them posted to YouTube. We are playing the tune “Sally In The Garden”. Left to right the musicians are Tim Baldanzi on the mandolin, Etienne Cremieux on the fiddle, Ren Price on percussion, John ‘JP” Price on Guitar and me (Tim Rowell) on banjo.
Thanks, Tim. The me&thee is a labor of love for all of us, wouldn’t you say? I absolutely LOVE presenting music in such a great acoustic venue! It’s an honor, to tell you the honest truth. Still hoping that more and more people discover what a treasure this place is to the music community in greater Boston. It’s definitely worth the drive for those of you out of town!
