Natalie Smith sends word that husband Brian (pictured) will be performing this evening from 5 to 7 at Terrapin Brewery with Tropical Breeze. We're pretty sure that Tony "Doc" McCutchen also will be on stage. Should be fun!

Vocalist Mary Sigalas (Baby's Blue Swing Set) sends word that she'll be on stage at Hendershot's next Thursday (September 9) with members of the band TBA. Tonight at Hendershot's, it'll be Kenosha Kid.

If it's Wednesday, it must be PrimeTime at the Porterhouse Grill downtown. The food's great, and this veteran trio can really swing! First tune around 7 p.m. No cover. Sit at the gorgeous bar and enjoy the music up close and personal. Or by all means treat yourself to dinner.

Steve Key is passing the word that Mitch Rothstein will be providing the keys work for house band Sonny Got Blue at this evening's regular Monday jam session at Cine. First tune between 6 and 6:30 p.m. Last tune around 8:30 p.m. Bring your instrument and sit in or just grab a chair, grab a brew, and enjoy the music.

We're headed over to Seth's place -- Hendershot's -- on Oglethorpe just inside the loop (next door to Transmet) this evening to take in the performance of the Rand Lines Trio with Seth sitting in on drums. Starts at 8. And Dan Nettles is passing along the cool news that Kenosha Kid has locked down the first Thursday of every month at Hendershot's. Our newest jazz venue is taking shape.

The official opening is just days away. Tonight, Seth (left) hosted an informal gathering, serving free coffee and the cool music of Dan Nettles, Neal Fountain, and Marlon Patton -- Kenosha Kid.
