What do WGBH-fm, WUMB-fm and now Club Passim all have in common? An aversion to the peoples' music. Each has gone to great lengths to re-invent themselves, scrubbing their programming and websites of the F word (folk, that is).
The first to go was "Folk Radio WUMB" (UMass Boston), when it accepted federal funding from NPR and CPB, which mandated a format change to AAA. Read Wahlberg and gang take over oyster house, 1/2/09.
Guests will be served blues-inspired hors d’oeuvres created by Azure’s nationally recognized Executive Chef, Robert Fathman and specialty drinks made with Reyka Vodka. The party will feature blues by Stretch and a raffle for several prizes, including a grand prize chef's tasting dinner for 6 at Azure. Guests are encouraged to wear blue, and there will be prizes for the best blue attire!
Tickets are $50 per person. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Community Servings. The funds raised from the sale of each ticket will provide two weeks worth of meals for a Community Servings client.
I've got two tickets to see Sonny Landreth, an awesome slide guitarist, at RegattaBar on Thursday night (August 16). I only need one of the tickets, as it turns out, so I'm looking for a home for the other one. If anyone out there is a fan of Sonny Landreth (or of blues and zydeco-flavored music in general) and would like the other ticket, Email Me and let me know.
