Live Music Options: 6/27/11 - 7/3/11

The Rosebuds Play the Satellite on Friday (along with Other Lives)

The highlight of last week for me, was finally seeing Dr. John. Great band (Shannon Powell on drums) and a good setlist. He played new stuff, but threw in some of the greatest hits too. For a guy over 70, he's still amazingly cool.
