Thanks Rick Massimo at the Projo!

Providence Journal "Music Scene" reporter Rick Massimo has been diligently covering the Narrows' rise as an area cultural phenomenon.

We've seen him at shows, and appreciated his interest in telling the Narrows' story. His reporting before the Sister Rosetta Tharpe tribute show should be handed out in history courses. He, along with Projo blogger Sheila Lennon, really worked hard to make their coverage special.

Anyway, we grabbed something from today's column about Saturday's show with Jim Weider:

Jim Weider
still perkin'


Jim Weider's latest album, Percolator, continues his usual aesthetic: an instrumental, jam-band ethos, but with a little more old-school rock edge. Roots-prog? Sort of, with plenty of guitar virtuosity from the former Band member.
He's at the Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River, Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15; call (508) 324-1926.


Submitted by Steve the Emcee, who plans to be wearing something special to the show since we hear that Jim will be recording the concert for a DVD.
