Rome Songwriters, Blu Train highlight weekend entertainment
By Bryan Mullins
TONIGHT
Rome Songwriters to perform at RACA
-Even though the news has spread that the Rome Area Council for the Arts location on Broad Street will soon be closed, it’s not too late to catch your favorite songwriter’s as the Rome Area Songwriter’s Association will host their songwriter’s night tonight featuring Ernie Palmer, Pamela Kirk, and the Grand Imagineer Gary Greene.
Stevie Monce, who has been playing nonstop lately all over the Southeast will return to 333 on Broad for another great night of original acoustic rock.
Muletide Perkins will be picking tunes for all the lovers out there at the 400 Block Bar as a nice little Valentine’s Day prep.
Russell McClanahan & the mOOn Crew will continue to entertain the dinner crowd at Harvest Moon with their homage to old time string band music.
FRIDAY
Blu Train’s southern rock at 333 on Broad
-Blu Train is a collaboration of some of Rome’s finest musicians. They rocked the crowd at the Rome Rock for RACA benefit last month with their Southern rock and blues stylings. They’ll return to 333 on Broad Friday night for more of the same.
Scott Warren & the Collard Green Berets will migrate over to the Moon Roof Bar to play their honest and soulful country rock and blues for the Moon Roofers.
Local world music band Devidasa is hosting a benefit for earthquake victims in Haiti that will feature a diverse array of music and belly dancing from Sundari. They’ll be taking donations and getting down at the Ford Auditorium at Berry College.
All Things Artistic will continue to foster local talent with another open mic night which welcomes anything from songwriting, comedy, poetry, prose, or whatever you got.
SATURDAY
-Sam Hunt played a fantastic New Year’s performance this past year at 333 on Broad and Saturday he’ll be returning to pick up the pieces with his acoustic country. He’s worked hard with good folks in Nashville to get his music career started after being the star quarterback at UAB. Quite a switch, I’d imagine.
The Groundhawgs don’t care if they see their shadow or not. They will no doubt be picking their hearts out at the 400 Block Bar this Saturday. These guys keep it acoustic while rocking great string band originals and deep cuts from some of the greatest songwriters of the genre.
Atlanta area songwriter Kristen Hope Justice blends soul, jazz, and rock with her original material. She’ll be performing at All Things Artistic this Saturday evening.
Don’t forget to bring your own ladle to the Peach Palace Saturday night as Self Serve serves up high energy alternative rock to local fans once again.
