Back to Ryles, July 10…plus CD release party update!
Hey friends, just a quick head’s up to let you know that we’re back at one of our favorite spots, Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge on Saturday July 10! As is our usual, we’ll be doing three sets of 60s soul, NOLA R&B and more, so please c’mon down and check it out. $10, 9pm, and tickets are available on the Ryles website. Its also our last public gig of the summer before our big CD release party at the House of Blues Boston on Sept 11…oh, we didn’t mention? WE’RE HAVING A CD RELEASE PARTY AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES ON SEPT 11! We’re really excited about that, could ya tell? They’re letting us in the fancy-schmancy Foundation Room, which is a gorgeous club upstairs that you usually can’t get into unless you’re a member. But for our party, its open to all for just $10, AND half of the door goes to the very worthy House of Blues Foundation charity. Can ya beat it? I don’t think ya can! More details and special guests coming soon. See ya there!
