Ronnie Earl with special guests The L&M Rhythm Kings

Great night at the Blue Ocean Music Hall in Salisbury, MA on Saturday March 8, 2014!  If you haven't been to this place, you should go. The sound is great, the place is beautiful and reasonably priced. I have to tell you that even though Ronnie Earl was the headliner, my main reason for going to the show was to support the opening act, the L&M Rhythm Kings.

I have been following these guys around Massachusetts and New Hampshire in various forms of this band for about 20 years. Shockingly they have never put a restraining order on me. You can't find a nicer group of guys than these four and they deserved to play in a nice place like this with a great audience.  They played their usual top-notch mix of Blues and Funk and were well-received by the crowd. These guys can play it all. Keep your eyes and ears open and if they are in your area you should go check them out!Well, enough about those lovable lads for now.

What can I say about the world-famous Blues guitarist Ronnie Earl that hasn't already been said better by someone else?

He has few peers as a guitar player. Some might call him a virtuoso, but I am not exactly sure what that means. From what I have heard about him, his generosity and warmth is also off the charts.  Ronnie and his band were great and mesmerized the audience with their musicianship. I have seen him play a few times and he always puts his heart and soul into each note he plays. It was a fabulous night near the end of a long Winter.  The timing could not have been better.
