The RUMBle...What's Happening on St. Croix!!!!

Submitted by Editor on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 17:57

Hey, Music Fans! Last weekend was a humdinger! The St. Patrick's Day Parade was a bit smaller than usual, but there were a zillion people in Christiansted to watch. I heard one lady ask her husband as she pointed across King Street, "See the guy in the green shirt?" Well, DOH! About 3 thousand. There were some good floats and various entries.

There was music in the usual and unusual places, and it seems a fun time was had by all. One guy I work with staggered into Club Comanche and sat down right in front of the band and began to pass out before his wife dragged him away. I asked him Monday if he remembered seeing me Saturday. "No." He had a great time.

I don't have a lot of music info this week, but tomorrow night, Buddy & Jim, The BluesDudes will be playing rock & blues in the bar at Club Comanche from 6:30 til 10:00 PM. Steve Katz will be at SALUD, from 7 PM.

On Saturday, Reverend Raven & The Chain-Smokin' Altar Boys will be at Chicken Charlie's Roadhouse, from 7 til 10 PM. They will be at Rhythms at Rainbow on Sunday from 3 til 7 PM, and back at Chicken Charlie's on Monday night for a Jam. Tuesday night, they will be at Angry Nate's for Blues on the Boardwalk.

I think the St. Croix Blues Society will be back at Coconuts this week, for the Sunday Blues Jam, 4:30 till 8:30 PM.

The St. John Blues Festival is this weekend in Coral Bay, St. John. They have some good acts, as usual.

Next week, The Deb Callahan Band will be all over St. Croix. Watch for her venues soon.

Chicken Charlie's Roadhouse will celebrate their Four-Year Anniversary on Saturday April 10th, with a Music Jam, hosted by Buddy & Jim, The BluesDudes. Mark your calendar. Bring your instrument and/or your talent.

The United Way Chili Cookoff is April 11th at DIVI Hotel & Resort. Music by OUTLAWS in PARADISE. Heat by Jalapenos, Cayenne and Scotch Bonnets. Dust off your chili recipe and join the fun.

I'm sure there's lots more going on. Check the AVIS. It never lies.

Be safe, and have a great weekend!
