Subject: Tempest (Celtic Rock) performs in MA!
This band from California does Celtic and Norwegian-influenced rock music and they are GREAT! I saw them a few years agao and am thrilled they are returning to the area.

The lead singer, Leif Sorbye, is Norwegian and does some great folk-derived songs and dances. He is also a total babe! They contributed a song to a cover CD of Jethro Tull songs a few years back...

I am helping the band get some publicity locally so he sent me a press kit with their lovely photos!

No shows in Boston proper, alas. I last saw tham at the Tam in Brookline and sadly the show was not well-attended (which is weird because they have a large local fan base).

But they play Saturday August 11th at the Bad Abbott in Quincy, and Sunday August 12th at the Blackthorne Tavern in Easton, MA.

I plan to at least attend the Quincy show. Anyone interested?
