Picking Up From Where We Left It, Let’s Dance Through The Week Together
On The Scene With Tracey Stones
Sunday’s Soothing Sounds
The Dusty Trio came to Fairfield Harbour on Sunday, August 25, 2019, to offer a fun afternoon of music for the community I call home. My friends and neighbors gathered at Red Sail Park to enjoy a performance by this talented trio. Presented by yours truly, Tracey Stones Productions is the sponsor of this concert series which kicked off in May with Big Jim and will continue until we resort to an indoor facility for the winter months. This series was inspired by knowing both Hank Barbee and Big Jim Kohler.
Watching them in their journey and embracing their sobriety, I wanted to create a more family-friendly scene in parks around towns near and far. Pack a picnic and come out and enjoy music with friends and neighbors. Currently, there is no funding for these events. I m the banner sponsor and sole promoter. I ask concert-goers to tip the bands that play.
Last week was special in that the tips collected were donated to a family in need. Greg Davis is Barbee’s father-in-law and was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and shortly after lost his job. In all, several hundred dollars was collected for the family. The newlyweds’ bride set up a Go Fund Me account for fans and friends who couldn’t make it out to the show, but could help the family in this trying time, please visit Let’s Beat Brain Cancer.

From Surf Sounds to Waves of Jazz
It was one special guest after another last Sunday afternoon on the deck. This not surprising, as John Van Dyke seems to bring out the special guests each week, when he shines on the deck at Persimmons. A few weeks ago it was a couple of beauties he shared the mic with and this week it was a mixed bag of wonderful personalities. All faces that I love and admire. All so talented too. Bob Tyson joined the band with his sax. Steve Tyson shared a song with us, Steve Robb did the same and Ann Sorracki offered up her jazzy best! It was a beautiful night of wonderful music.
Below you can hear more about music tonight. But for jazz on the deck tomorrow, join Andrea Owens and her talented quartet, sit under the sails and enjoy the good food and fine music being served. Jazz music is served from 5:30-7:30 each Sunday evening.

Sweet Memories Made Each Monday
It was my thought a few weeks back, that maybe things would slow down for the peak of the Summer season, as that is the norm for our area bars. Generally August offers lower sales, as people get ready for back to school and put a cap on vacations too. With that being said, Monday is the exception to this rule around town. Each Monday at The Brown Pelican, brings more excitement, even seven months later.
Last week we had the stand-in regulars on guitar, Jayke Steel and Jonathon Peck, and joining the fun this week was Landy Spain of Built for Comfort fame. He shared a couple of songs on guitar and closed out the night offering another on vocals. It never gets old watching this night grow and become the sweet treat it has become for our town and it’s music-loving people.
Hosted by Big Jim and his Chicago Blues Band, this night kicks off with the guys offering several jams in trio formation, before opening the killing floor to talented jammers that join the fun. Music plays from 7 pm -9:30 pm and it has been known to even go later. Be sure show the house band your tips, as this helps to keep them happy. Thank you all that gather and help make our Mondays memorable.

Wednesday Is Not Worse, With More Talent Added to the Mix
Wednesday nights at City Stage seems to offer much the same experience, only different. Taking place at The City Stage, this fun night also kicks off at 7 pm with the band offering a fine set of Chicago laced blues, before opening the stage up to the growing list of jammers that come to join. This week we had two new guitar players Adam Hill, being one of them. There were three bass players that came to call, Phillip Alcock, Chiles Estrada and Billy Mobley, all played the bottom beats for us. We saw David Sawyer on the harmonica and Rich Demetri on drums. That’s a lot of action to cover in the course of two hours. But it is always a fun and fine time. Be sure to catch the band at City Stage this month on Wednesday, September 4, 18 and 25. On Wednesday, September 11, DownEast Folk Art Society will present the music of Sally Barris.

Footloose On The Neuse Presents Adam Pitts
New Bern Parks ad Recreation Department is in the midst of offering the second annual Summer Concert Series deemed Footloose on the Neuse. The shows are sponsored by Trent Cadilac/ Buick/ GMC and Riverside Camping Center. Offering the entertainment for our town last night was the talented one man band, born and raised in Bethlehem, NC and calling Raleigh his home, Adam Pitts. He shared familiar songs with the large crowd that gathered under the star-filled sky along the Neuse River.
For those that might recall, Pitts was the talented player selected to open during the First Annual Town Bear Drop. That was the first time I had the pleasure of hearing him perform. He is a singer-songwriter who would rather be crafting his own works to share, but makes a living sharing familiar songs instead as the story goes. He is a talented stringer and can be found on Facebook here: Adam Pitts Music.
For those looking to catch the singer live for themselves, his next big show event is in Apex, NC on Saturday, September 14. He will perform at Peak Of The Vine. As for the next Footloose on The Neuse Concert event; they will feature New Bern’s own funky soul band, Joe Brown and the Band. Mark your calendars for Friday, September 13, 2019. Music starts at 6:30 pm and the concert wraps up about 9 PM. Bring the family, including pets on a leash. Leave coolers at home, but come ready to support local food trucks and vendors on hand to serve you.

Cru Bar & Wine Store/ The Beaufort Coffee Shop
Cru Bar & Wine Store/ The Beaufort Coffee Shop Presents
Megan Jean and the KFB, Sat Aug 31st, 9pm-1am, $3 cover charge
http://www.meganjean.net
“In the four years since their last album, Megan Jean and the Klay Family Band have undergone something of an identity crisis. Sure, there are elements that have remained the same: Megan Jean’s hurricane of a voice that can glide from baritone to mezzo soprano without breaking a sweat; the engine-room thrum-and-stomp of her husband Byrne Klay on banjo and bass drum — that’s all intact.
But depending on when you might have seen them on their endless tour around the country, Megan Jean and Byrne Klay might have been a folk-tinged duo with Jean on acoustic guitar, or a washboard-strumming revue heavy on campy 1950s horror movie references and 1920s flapper-jazz style vocals. In their most recent incarnation, they’re a mesh of fiercely rhythmic, percussion-heavy propulsion, with the banjo and Jean’s roof-shaking voice the only melodic elements.
It might seem that there’s some grand evolutionary design in place, but Jean says that necessity, and injury have been the mothers of their invention.
“I started on guitar, and then realized I needed to have drums to get folks dancing,” she says. “And I needed to get ’em dancing if I wanted to play where the people were on Saturday night. I switched to washboard, which hurt my hands and shoulders terribly after a few hundred shows over several years.”
She adds, “These days I’m playing a full kit and singing, and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had onstage.”
Byrne Klay is one of those musical wizards, who can essentially play any instrument he picks up, but even so his style has changed as well. “Last year I started playing an electric banjo,” he says. “It’s a whole new thing for me. It plays and resonates like a banjo but sustains like a guitar. I’ve learned a lot making that thing work beneath Megan’s voice. And Megan’s drumming has really developed; her feel for rhythm is pure heartbeat.”
Klay adds, “A good musician knows that the secret is to tune your instrument to the strongest heartbeat. The rest is just a body in motion.”
The result is that Jean has more space than ever to flex her vocal muscle, which she does with even more skill on the KFB’s new album, “Tarantistas.” The duo recorded the album at The Jam Room in Columbia with engineer Zac Thomas. “We have special chemistry with Zac,” Klay says. “As an engineer, he’s the perfect partner for us. His ears are as good as Megan’s and his skill set covers everything we can’t. He has great taste and really listens to how we play.”
Jean estimates that the band has played 600 shows since their last album, and despite the hardships of being an independent band that literally lives on the road (their home is their touring van much of the time), the experience they’ve accumulated has been invaluable.

Recently named the FloydFest 19 On-the-Rise Series winner, DownTown Abby & The Echoes has never been more focused on its mission to bring funky, dance-inducing original tunes to the Southeast’s most popular festivals and music venues.
DownTown Abby & The Echoes’ powerful vocals and groovy rhythm section is a must-see for all ages and musical preferences.

49 Winchester
Hailing from the heart of Appalachia in Russell County VA, 49 Winchester’s sound is drenched with blues, soul, southern rock, and country influences. An eclectic blend of musicians from different backgrounds, they have forged out a genre bending sound that is uniquely their own. Lead singer & guitarist Isaac Gibson’s powerful raspy vocals and honest lyrics, supported by a muscled 3 guitar attack, steel guitar, and a rock solid rhythm section provide a sound and spirit laden with emotion, both high and low.
Making their musical beginnings as childhood friends, Isaac Gibson & Chase Chafin began playing songs together on the banks of the Clinch River & the steps of the abandoned buildings in “Old Castlewood” Virginia. The echos of a once bustling town, empty train station and hotels of Winchester Street provided a perfect backdrop to their country, blues, and ragtime influences. With added guitar work from longtime friend Bus Shelton, the young band began playing shows in 2013 as an acoustic folk-trio in the months after high school and was well received into the region’s strong culture of grassroots music.
Over time, and with the addition of a rhythm section, the bands sound became something with more grit and power. Their childhood influences of rock and roll, blues, and country, molded the music into something that is totally unique and all their own. With a consistently heavy touring schedule, 49 Winchester has since played venues & festivals across the East, delivering the songs of Isaac Gibson in a powerful live show.
Their 2018 sophomore album “The Wind” was self-produced at Bristol VA’s Classic Recording Studio with Mike Stephenson and features driving electric guitars and drums matched with jangling mountain banjo melodies. The 11 poetically straight-forward tracks touch on the topics of despair, love, & self-reflection with emotion & excitement that mirrors the energy of their live performance.

Plenty To Report From New Bern Then We Leave Town To Rock It!
On The Scene With Tracey Stones
Last Saturday night Tryon Palace hosted the Second Annual Live and Local Event at the North Carolina History Center. Above, New Bern original Brewer, Pete Frey of Brewery 99.
Live & Local Features Local Beer and Live Music
Saturday’ evening’s Live & Local event was the Second Annual for The Tryon Palace Foundation. This is a new fundraiser for the Foundation and though in its infancy, it is a successful one too. They sold out of the 400 tickets available. On hand were several area beer crafters, offering their best brews of the season. Under the party tent, which was sponsored by Hyundai of New Bern, just outside were two stellar bands. Opening the event was The Dust Parade from Wilmington and closing things out, from Morehead City, The Spread sharing their fun grooves. Amongst the breweries were our own Brewery 99 and BrÜTopia. Also on hand from New Bern was Savi Wine Store. Surrounding the outskirts of North Carolina History Center were a great variety of local food trucks serving up their tasty treats.
During the event, I sat in on the live stream with New Bern Now’s Wendy Card and her co-host Jane Malucci. During that hour we had the opportunity to get to know Regina Ochoa, who helped organize the event. Following our time with her, we got to speak with Matt Shortway of Shortway Brewing in Newport. They are coming into their second year in the industry and brought samples for us to try. I found it rather amusing that his sample was called The Hippy Shake. It was quite tasty and smooth. Before closing out the hour, Hank Barbee stopped by and chatted briefly about his performance under the tent.
To view that podcast check out the watch party link:
All in all, it was a fun event and a great time. Also featured throughout the day were a variety of local food trucks serving the goods. The event was such a great success that they are reserving the space for next year. Mark the date and save it!

Carolina Swamp Dogs Return to The Bern with The Blues
The final act I caught around town last Saturday evening was, the duo I brought to the Bern, The Carolina Swamp Dogs. This duo of blues makers is fun and serious all at once. They have fun making the music they love and are serious about educating people on the blues as part of their show. This is always a wonderful thing to behold. Even with knowing the blues, as well as I, do, they teach me things as they share their beats.
The band is not on social media and they do not have a website, but I keep everyone up to speed on their gigs as they unfold right here. This weekend they will be headed to Wrightsville Beach this weekend to rock their blues away on Saturday. If you are down in the neighborhood drop, by Wrightsville Beach Brewery on Saturday afternoon. You can catch the Swamp Dogs from 3-6 pm.
℘℘℘℘
Leaving Town We Go in Search of The BiPolar Express
As the Swamp Dogs wrapped up, I looked at Mary Shine and ask, “What next? ” She looked at me and said, “I would love to see my boys, we can still catch the end of their show.” So with that, we got in the music bus and road to Morehead City to check in with the BiPolar Express. The rock trio was appearing on the deck at Off the Hook and rocking the enthusiastic crowd.
Before the final set ended, a big New Bern crowd of birthday gatherers joined the party and we sang and celebrated with Ashley Lee.
For fans and friends, looking to get rocked hard by this fun trio, they will be in town this weekend doing their thing. Check them out on Saturday night as they rock the deck at Blackbeard’s Triple Play Restaurant. Music starts at 7:30 PM and they keep the party going until the town makes them quit at 11 pm.
Keep up with the band by liking their page on facebook, The BiPolar Express or pick a show and just go!

Friday night dance party with Little Stranger, Apples & Airplanes and SkyBlew
Little Stranger
Born and raised in Philly and crash-landed in Charleston, John and Kevin Shields are the minds behind the quirky indie hip-hop group Little Stranger. Performing as a duo, Little Stranger is a fresh hybrid of John’s singer-songwriter magnetism and Kevin’s hard hitting, in-your-face delivery. Stylistically reminiscent of Gorillaz and Twenty One Pilots, Little Stranger inhabits a relatively unexplored niche at this point in time. They’re all about originality and every song is a separate work unto itself. With all the strangeness that their name implies John and Kevin Shields bring years of experience to the table. With previous bands, they’ve played with names like Slightly Stoopid, Del the Funky Homosapien, Grace Potter, Papadosio, The Heavy Pets, and John Brown’s Body.
Little Stranger was quickly recognized at home, named “Hip-Hop Act of the Year” in the 2016 & 2017 Charleston City Paper Music Awards and listed jointly as one of “17 People to Watch in 2017” in the Charleston Indie blog, Out of the wood- work, they’ve toured up and down the East and West Coasts, and recently released a string of eclectic music videos to their fans. With an ever-increasing arsenal of new tunes, Little Stranger is poised and making 2019 a big year.
Apples & Airplanes
A Raleigh Original since 2010, Apples & Airplanes combines elements of Americana and old R&B with a jammy vibe to create a sound that is unique and true.
SkyBlew
SkyBlew uses his sincere, substantive lyrics & colorful sound, to breathe life into music, and the world.

Monday Is Never Manic With Blues Mania at The Brown Pelican
The Brown Pelican is the popular watering hole that is known for hosting live music five nights a week. Kicking things off with a blues fix is Big Jim Kohler Band who each Monday offers music jams from 7-9:30 PM each week. This popular night brings out many blues admirers and players too. All are welcome to come out and be a part of the fun. The band offers a fun set of Chicago style blues before asking guests to share the stage for more jams that lean into the blues.
℘℘℘℘
Mid Week Blues Break Brings New Faces and Many Bassists
Following a night off, Big Jim and the Band get back to work sharing more jams with more jammers in town. Most Wednesdays, the band can be found on stage at City Stage, sharing the blues and cutting the grooves with special guests.
This past week we saw some new faces and two new bassists who stepped up to jam with the band. First, we met Chiles, a new face on the stage, who shared a few songs before tuning over the bass detail to David Rappaport. Rappaport is the bassist for the new line up of Due East who will be making their debut at The Brown Pelican in a few weeks. Look for them in mid-October.
Along with a couple of new bass players, we featured two harmonicas at one point in the program. Blowing the notes were Gordon Graham and David Sawyer.
The mid-week blues jam offers two hours of blistering blues and rocking grooves that bring fans to Chicago and back in two hours time. The BJKBB will be there each week until September 11, when the DownEast Folk Art Society brings a show to town. More on that as we grow closer to the event.

Thursday Yields More Blues From the Road as We Head to The House for Woolly’s Big Blues Jam
Woolly & The Wingnutz are the house band at The House in Durham where each Thursday, players gather to join the jams. This week Woolly requested that Big Jim come early and play with the Wingnutz. This weekly jam welcomes many players from the Triangle region and always offers a bouquet of talent. Many of these players are friends we met along the way in our travels to The Blue Note Grill.
Speaking of the blues supper club, they will be hosting their annual blues competition, next week for The Road to Memphis. This annual competition is judged and selects one winner from each category to go to Memphis to represent The Triangle Blues Society at The International Blues Challenge at the beginning of 2020. The Big Jim Kohler Band is registered to compete. I will be on hand to stream live from the competition.
Not long after the competition, Woolly & his Wingnutz will be coming to New Bern to rock your blues away. on the deck at Persimmons Restaurant on Saturday, September 14, 2019. That show will start at 6:30 pm.

We Welcome The Weekend with More Blues and Rockin Grooves
Things got underway between Tracey Stones Productions and Persimmons Restaurant after the manager, Meghan Margarum reached out to hire Big Jim for a show. I replied that he would be available in late August and that I would love to meet about bringing more music to the beautiful venue. After a few messages and a meeting, it was agreed that we can work together in bringing talent to the waterfront restaurant that overlooks the Neuse River.
Last night it was the debut for the Big Jim Kohler Band on the deck. Bringing their talents to make the music were Big Jim on guitar and vocals, Chris Buttitta on bass, Mike Ferrara on drums and there is vocal spotlight which shines also when Kathy Kohler grabs the mic to belt her blues. They set up outside on the deck for the first set, but as the storm set in during the break, we broke down and moved the party upstairs and inside. Tonight you can find the boys rocking their blues at Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Wilmington NC. Music starts at 8 PM. Next week they will be back on the Bear City clock and doing what they do about town. Be sure to be a part of the fun soon. We love seeing you.

Closing Out My Week Of Blues with Good Rock
I closed out the week with the rocking fun grooves of Stairwell. This Greenville-based band has been creating sounds for 13 years and have two original discs available for purchase. They also travel with lots of merchandise, from t-shirts to jewelry, hats, stickers and more. The band plays a variety of cover songs that run the gamut from pop to rock. Of all the songs they offer, it is the original works that truly impress me. Here is a sample of what I mean.
The band keeps their events up to date on Facebook so if you wish to keep in the know, be sure to check them out on Facebook by following this link: Stairwell. Their next show will bring them to Da Bayou Wilson next Friday night with music being offered at 10 PM. Next Saturday the band returns to their home base to rock Tiebreakers Sports Bar and Grill, Greenville, with music again starting at 10 PM.

The Blue Note Grill
Groove-laden New Orleans boogie, deeply soulful ballads and rollicking Gulf Coast blues courtesy of the incredible Marcia Ball.
Marcia Ball, the 2018 Texas State Musician Of The Year, has won worldwide fame and countless fans for her ability to ignite a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she takes the stage. Her rollicking Texas boogies, swampy New Orleans ballads and groove-laden Gulf Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music lovers all over the world.
With SHINE BRIGHT (available April 20th), Ball set out to, in her words, “Make the best Marcia Ball record I could make.” In doing so, she has put together the most musically substantial, hopeful and uplifting set of songs of her five-decade career. Produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and recorded in Texas and Louisiana, Shine Bright contains twelve songs (including nine originals), ranging from the title track’s rousing appeal for public and private acts of courage to the upbeat call to action of Pots And Pans, a song inspired by renowned Texas political writer and humorist Molly Ivins. From the humorous advice of Life Of The Party to the poignantly optimistic World Full Of Love, the intensity of Ball’s conviction never wavers while, simultaneously, the fun never stops. Shine Bright is exactly the album Ball set out to make.

This offers readers a resourceful tool to finding music in their area, all around the state, every day of the week.

Bands and venues are welcome to invite me to their events on Facebook or via email at ncmz.live@gmail.com. There is no cost to be listed on occasion, but please understand just like free music is not free, this free promotional service is not free either. It costs me a great amount of time.
If you are a busy band or a thriving music venue, I want you! We can create a calendar for you and keep you in the zone! $250 a year and you can have all your events added to a personal calendar widget right here in the music zone. Advertisers will be responsible for providing the event’s content.
Beside offering calendar options, NCMZ.LIVE also can create an active link for your website, or social media pages. Which also offers some live coverage for your live music events. For five years we have been building this site together and thanks to your suggestions and my commitment it keeps getting better. THANK YOU!
I will still bring you live coverage of the music scene around us in the random fashion we have become accustomed to in these five years of reporting.

So a big shout out and thank you to everyone who has extended a hand, offered a tip, bought me a meal or a beer, I love you all for the love you have shared with me! And every time I think I have to quit, you really have stepped up to help me keep the beats! Together we are building an awesome product that we can be proud of as we share it with our friends.

We Rocked the Scene Last Weekend and Bring Big News on More Music Starting this Week
On the Scene With Tracey Stones
Saturday We Bounce About Town
First Stop For Pizza Topped With Music
On Saturday night I started things off over in my neck of the woods, where Sara’s Big Apple welcomed Justin Castellano as the musical guest!
Castellano offered a variety of music in a fashion known to him, which is unlike any in our area! The classically trained stringer makes the most beautiful sounds with six strings. Here is a sample of his skill and grace. This song is written for his young son. This is “Sebastian’s Theme.”
Castellano keeps busy playing five nights or more, most weeks out of the year. He makes a great addition to any restaurant looking for dinner music. I always enjoy hearing him share songs and interact with his audience.
For fans and friends of the famed stringer, you can find him tonight and tomorrow evening at Boro Restaurant and Bar. Music is offered each night from 8-11 pm.

Big News and The Blues Served at Persimmons on Saturday
Earlier last week, Wendy Card and I met with Dean Quadi owner and Meghan Margarum manager, at Persimmons Restaurant. The meeting came about after I proposed interest in handling their music and advertising budgets via my company Tracey Stones Productions.
I set up the company on the intentions of serving the venues that are hosting live music. I am not interested in being a traditional band booking agent, as many bands would like. Hosting venues’ events calendars however, is of great interest to me. The reason being is there are a lot of places to apply my talents when booking and promoting music for the venue. My services alleviate the stress of finding, booking and paying the talent to play at an establishment. We meet about budgets and I take those figures and apply them to the process of supporting live music.
The goal is to bring as much music to as many places as possible, while connecting the masses to it. Finding the right music for the right room is key to this work. This blog that TSP publishes, is my broadcast to the world on the things I am doing with our music community! The bigger it grows the happier I become! In this quest, the restaurant is now committed to offering music four nights a week. It is my goal to show them how to grow that to include music each night.
Given all of that good news last week was groundbreaking for this blogger, as the storms clouds finally broke up after a long 11 months. Persimmons is the first venue to consider our services since the storm and I feel good about the opportunity. These last 11 months have been rather slow for Tracey Stones Productions.
Much of that changed, when I reported for work on Saturday evening to promote The Carolina Swamp Dogs. It delighted my heart to hear Margarum tell me they would be happy for me to host the music. She went on to say, the owners have agreed to make a bigger commitment to bringing more music, which, btw sounded like music to my ears. Moving forward, the weather will no longer impact live performances, as they now have room to host music inside and upstairs.
Gary Oles and Tommy Langlois are the duos best known as the Carolina Swamp Dogs. Based in Jacksonville, this duo offers authentic blues music for listeners to not only enjoy, but learn more about. Oles tells stories of the founding blues fathers, that gave us the traditions we are entrenched in today. Offering much of the vocal work, Oles plays harmonica and percussion, while Langlois offers the guitar and drums. He also sings a few selections during each set. With their focus on roots music, they always bring a good variety of fun music. This duo of retired Marines will be back in town this weekend and rocking The Brown Pelican tomorrow night. Music plays at 8-11 pm.

The Wannabees Bring the Rocking Good Times Following the Storm
The Wannabees were in town last Saturday night as well. The New Bern based rock quartet always have fun rocking their hometown friends and followers. And that is just what they did after a brief rain delay. Of course with playing outside, it can sometimes be a challenge, especially here in NC where pop up storms are commonplace and temperamental weather outbreaks are the rule of the Summer season. By 9 pm the boys were rocking and the deck was filled with eager fans, ready to dance the night away under the clearing sky. After days of rain, it was just what we all needed to usher us through Saturday night!
The Wannabees have been a staple on the New Bern music scene, with Larry Swinson on guitar and vocals, Tod Stilley on guitar and vocals, Michael Bass on bass and vocals and behind the kit is one of the busiest drummers on the scene, Jason Patterson. The music makers get together a couple of times each month to offer music to their growing fan base.

Sunday Jazz Offers A Soothing End to The Week
It was the Andrea Owens Jazz Ensemble that offered the dinner music for Sunday’s Jazz on the deck at Persimmons. Music is served for diners from 5:30-7:30 pm and they have a rotation of stellar offerings. This quartet blends the talents of husband Phil Owens on guitar and his beautiful bride Andrea on vocals, Chris Morden on the upright bass and Richard Farrell on the bongos. Together they offered the soothing sounds that carry you away. This quartet is back on the schedule for next Sunday, September 1, 2019. Music on Sunday is right on time for dinner and the view is spectacular. Make a date to be there.

Capping off the Weekend And Walking Through the Week
On The Scene With Tracey Stones ℘℘℘℘℘
Sunday Afternoon In The Park Brings The Blues
The Carolina Swamp Dogs came to Fairfield Harbour last weekend, to perform as part of the concert series which I host for the neighborhood. Tracey Stones Productions, LLC presents this concert series, which takes place every other weekend throughout the warmer weather seasons at Red Sail Park. The duo came from the Jacksonville area and offered two long sets of sizzling hot blues for the crowd that gathered.
I met this band as a trio three years ago at the NC Seafood Festival in Morehead City. They wowed me with their take on the blues. Offering an educational experience with listeners. They teach about the masters that created the first musical offerings from our American culture. The blues have a deep-rooted history in being America’s music offering to the world. It’s originators live on through those shared musical traditions which they offered the world, as new players carry the torch in keeping the blues alive. One of the things I appreciate most about this band, whether they come as a duo or a trio, the education comes with them. The lead singer, percussionist and harmonica Gary Oles tells tales about the players that carved the history of this music genre. Band-mate Tommy Langlois plays the guitar while keeping the beats with his feet. Offering some vocals, the duo offers a fun show of great music.
For those around town that missed the show, good news, The Carolina Swampdogs will be returning to town tonight to perform on the deck at Persimmons. Music will play from 6:30-9:30 pm, as you dine under the sails if the weather is right, upstairs if it is not so nice. Next weekend they will return to town to play The Brown Pelican. The duo will offer music from 8-11 pm on Saturday, August 24, 2019.
For those interested in knowing, my next show in Fairfield Harbour will offer the music of Hank Barbee and The Dusty Trio. It was recently made public that Hank Barbee’s wife, Holly Barbee’s father Greg Davis is very sick. Recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, he also lost his job. These have been rough days for the family and in an effort to make things easier, we will be collecting donations for the singer’s father-in-law. Please come out for a fun afternoon of great music and help this artist help his family. Showtime is Sunday, August 25, 2019, at 3 PM. For those that cannot attend the show but would like to help this family in need, please consider visiting and donating to the GO FUND ME set up by his family.

Sunday Evening Jazz and Special Guests Conclude The Weekend Music Offerings
Following my concert in Fairfield Harbour, I packed up my banners and headed to town to catch some Jazz courtesy of John Van Dyke and friends. They offer two shows each month out on the deck at Persimmons Waterfront Restaurant. I am glad I did not delay, as it was my sweet friends Kathy Kohler who was standing with the band when I arrived. She wowed the crowd like she always does by offering two songs. She was not the only diva to join Van Dyke on the mic. He also shared a song with June Bonner later in the show. These jazz offerings are served from 5:30-7:30 each Sunday afternoon. Welcome the evening with wonderful sounds under the sails as the moon rises over the Neuse River. Van Dyke is a resident performer, offering a jazz show on the second and fourth Sunday of the month. The first Sunday of the month offers the sultry sounds of Alisa Mike and this week come out for the Jazz sounds of Andrea Owens.

More Blues To Welcome The Week
Nothing gets the week started right better than a good dose of the blues. Blues Night at The Brown Pelican with host Big Jim Kohler is still a thing and people are flocking to it! Last week was a little more special than most, as Big Jim was joined by his bride midway through the show. Kathy Kohler rarely joins the Monday night party as she rather enjoys the night off. But last week with so many of her friends in the house, it only made sense to summons her to the stage. After a quick shower, the powerhouse singer graced us with her presence and offered a handful of amazing song selections. Included in her set was “People Get Ready,” as well as a slaying version of B.B. King’s “The Thrill IS Gone.”
Big Jim stays busy bluesin’ throughout the week around town and then brings his show around the region on weekends. You can join the fun jams any Monday at The Brown Pelican or most Wednesdays at City Stage. The jams run from 7-9 pm at both venues and all are welcome to come out and join in the fun. Coming up this Friday, August 23, you can catch the band on the deck at Persimmons Restaurant sharing sounds with diners from 6:30-9:30 PM.
