Is it just me or should May be warmer than this? One of the summer events I always look forward to is the Rock and Blues Concert Cruises. I try to round up as many friends as I can, don my nautical themed pashmina afghan (and flippy floppies), and then head out to enjoy the evening. The 2011 series will take place aboard the Provincetown II operated by Bay State Cruise Company, creating an opportunity for outdoor concerts on larger performance decks.
This year’s series will include eight concerts including the return of Ryan Montbleau Band on Saturday, June 18 with very special guests Will Dailey and the Rivals. On Sunday, July 24, Booty Vortex will host a special Carnivale, bringing a new kind of pomp and circumstance aboard the Rock and Blues Concert Cruises.
The 2011 lineup also features an all-ages a capella cruise on Sunday, June 12. Legendary performers Ball in the House along with Overboard and and the YouTube sensation Ahmir. A portion of the proceeds from this cruise will be donated to Lucy’s Love Bus, an organization that brings comfort to children with cancer.
Other summer performances include a double bill of The Alternate Routes and Adam Ezra Group on July 10, the return of Beatlejuice on August 14 and a season finale party with Martha’s Vineyard-based Entrain and special guest Sun Jones on August 21. The summer kicks off June 5 with the Celtic sounds of Carbon Leaf and Enter the Haggis.
