For Valentine’s Day, it’s not just about food, stir the heart of your loved one with some music! It may not be Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, but here’s what’s going on locally.
– At Dick’s Bar and Grill, the rockin’ starts early at 6:30 p.m. and the featured artist is Harvey Fields, and he’s just the drummer. The flavorful foursome’s full name is the Puzzle Piece and they are advertised as playing “tasty blues, jazz and R ‘n’ B.”
– At Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt on Friday night its a locally based group, the Rick’s, followed on Saturday night with Who Hash. Also featured is Zach Paxson, whose wide-ranging cross-country tour also included a private party in Houlton on Valentine’s Day.
– Guv’s Place in Houlton has another locally based band in Practical Goods on tap on Friday night, and on Saturday night its Ella and Ward.
– Also getting into the groove, last weekend, was Willie b Blues, a band that performing quite a bit locally of late, this time at a new joint that’s opened in Lakeland, Shiner’s. They were given rave reviews, much greater than you would normally hear, from an off-duty bouncer friend who had a rare night off from Ellie’s on Main.
