I am telling you all to get your butts to Mofro tomorrow at the Magic Bag. This show is gonna be hot.
And for the real hardcores, our friend, the Great Divide are playing the Winter Blast tomorrow evening at 7. This could be just the right mix before coming out for the Mofro show.

SHOWS YOU NEED THIS WEEK

Greetings
Like the Groundhog, I am sticking my head out and saying hello. I have been a little under the weather (had a tooth abscess which lead to a double extraction yesterday). So, I apologize for not getting this out earlier
TONIGHT
Galactic at the Majestic. I have been seeing this band for many, many years. This is the off the hook New Orleans based jazz funk band. A guaranteed dance party and honestly drummer, Stanton Moore is the best in the biz.
FRIDAY
Mofro at the Magic Bag I first saw Mofro at Bonnaroo many years ago. They have been a regular on the festival scene and have played Langerado several times. They were part of the inaugural Rothbury last summer. Another great show I believe their first appearance in our part of the state was at Small in Hamtramck in 2004. What a great show that was. What can I say about JJ Grey, the front guy of the band. He just gives it. They are from the swamps of North Florida. There music is somewhere between soul, folk and the blues. This is gonna be a sick show
SATURDAY
BOB MARLEY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION WITH ONE LOVE FEATURING KING ISAACA AND RAS AMBITIOUS
FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY The annual Winter Blast returns to our fair city. Here is the music schedule http://www.winterblast.com/event/2007/music.html
SUNDAY
My dear friends, the Macpodz, the funkiest band to come out of Ann Arbor Michigan in years is headlining the Winter Blast. They will be on stage at 4:15.
I intend to do a more thorough update later this week. Again, sorry to be AWOL for a while.
