Slideshow of our night with The Magnificent Strings, Conrad Plymouth, and the chillin' people (& dogs) of beautiful Bay View!!!

You coming? let us know!

 We LOVE this summertime treat of a night out, Bayview's Chill on the Hill.   As they say, memories are made of this.  A blanket, a bottle of wine, friends and live music on a summer night.  We're so lucky!

 Last summer at Bayview's Chill on the Hill we bowed to the thunder and the lightening and exited the stage after a mere 6 songs, hoping to pick up where we left off some other day.  We're happy to say that we'll do just that this summer, July 13. Conrad Plymouth opens, which makes it all worth the wait.  Music starts at 7:30.   Family show, a community picnic really, we love summer nights on the Hill.

 


Great night, really nice people, we were so happy to be part of Scottfest!  BB took this one.

Milwaukee’s Longacre follows last year’s full-length debut with five songs that further their adult alt aesthetic. Adding to the group’s muscularly hushed emotional vignettes are more exotic, international sounds and themes. Some flamenco guitar and American-Indian powwow drumming form the bass for a couple of cuts; the opener casts Asian concubinage as a metaphor for alienation and recalls 10,000 Maniacs and Siouxsie & The Banshees. The emotional gravitas that singer/lyricist Claire Chin brought to her quintet’s 2008 release remains, though one may wish she’d crack an intermittent smile.
