EVERY MONTH:

Second Monday of every month 8pm for 8:30pm

BLUES @ THE BRIDGE
Open Mic (off the floor) and Blues Jam Session
Blues and related music @ the Bridge Inn, Topsham. Acoustic only but solo artists and duos are always very welcome. And if you don't play anything - which means that you're probably very sane - sit down and enjoy one of the Bridge's fine ales. We try to kick off the proceedings about 8.30pm so if you want to strut your stuff, it's a good idea to get in a few minutes early.

JANUARY23RD GLOBE HOTEL TOPSHAM

POKIE LEFARGE AND THE SOUTH CITY THREE 

Think THE BAND -  All the way from St. Louis Missouri, troubadour Pokey LaFarge and his bunch of musical desperadoes draw on elements of heartland Americana - riverboat blues, Ragtime, Folk and Country  to come up with a unique throwback sound. LeFarge writes funny little acoustic ditties like "I Don't Mind Dyin'" and "Sweet Seventeen," sings in a burnished old-timey drawl, strums and fingerpicks guitar and guitjo (a six-string banjo with a guitar neck), plays harmonica and kazoo; the South City Three all provide backup vocals and include Adam "Boss Hoss" Hoskins on guitar, Joey Glynn on upright bass, and Ryan "Churchmouse" Koenig on washboard and harmonica.  Could be the most unusual gig of the year - and it's only January !
