I saw a few people mention J Geils. I’m going to see Peter Wolf and his current band this Sunday at a small venue in Truro on Cape Cod. If you’re looking for a fun trip check out the Payomet Centers schedule and come see a show there. They get some great acts there and it’s a unique venue (on an abandoned Air Force base by Cape Cod National Seashore.
Hey Redz, I know the place, we vacation in Truro every year. They've had Arlo Guthrie, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, others. Ever been to the Beachcomber in Wellfleet? It's a bit of a college crowd, but I saw State Radio there and stood right next to the stage. My wife was doing photography for the show.
Seen a bunch of fun shows at Payomet. Los Lobos twice, English Beat, Graham Nash...
and yes, I'm a little past the "Comba" stage of my life, but it's a fun place to see a show. They get some good acts. Last time I was there I saw the "Baseball Project" which has a couple of members of REM in it. They sing songs about baseball, which sounds kinda weird, but they make it work. There were maybe 30 people in the crowd. They played a couple of REM tunes at the end.
Also saw the Old 97's there within the last 10 years.
The place darn near fell into the ocean last winter. It's going to happen sooner or later (probably sooner).
Where do you go in Truro?
Yeah, next time there's a big winter storm, the Comba will wash out to sea.
In Truro, we stay at a campground within walking distance of the ocean beach.
Nice.
I made it about halfway through Peter Wolf the other night. He sounded fine, I just had too much going on in my brain and couldn't really focus on the music. I was there volunteering for the booth for WOMR, so it was a freebie sho (or I would have stayed).
Stopped at a beach in Wellfleet on the way home. Watched the waves crashing under a full moon while sitting on a lifeguard chair. Better for the brain than Peter Wolf!
