Peg: If you e-mail a few paragraphs about Tempest and the performance at Blackthorne -- some background, time of the show, cover charge if applicable -- to [e-mail], I'll try to get something into the newspaper. We circulate in a few towns near Easton.

... with the emphasis on rock! We (Eammons Kitchen) played with them at NTIF this year, and they play the Emerald Mist (also one of our favorite venues) when their in Dallas.

Nice guys, very talented players. I enjoyed their show. I hope things go well for them - and good luck with "gettin' the word out!"

Thanks for the heads up, Peg. I'll keep the Blackthorne show in mind -- used to play there quite a bit myself, and wouldn't mind paying another visit to see someone good.

("the wilds of w" -- sounds interesting!)

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?
