Blue Turtle Seduction Rocked the Rafters of the Miners Foundry last night. With opening band Ten Mile Tide this was an awesome Valentines Day Show. Ten Mile Tide started the show with a set of great music playing Folk Rock, Southern Rock, & Bluegrass. They got the crowd movin’ and shaken’. After they played there was an amazing fire dance in the parking lot. Then Blue Turtle Seduction took the stage and played two sets of wonderful original tunes. These guys were joined on stage for a couple of songs by Grace Tea singing and rapping. What a great night it was with the dance floor packed all night long. Blue Turtle is my favorite band right now and I try to make it to all their shows. All the Festy Lovin’ Folk were there & I enjoyed the whole night and even danced a little myself.

Melvin Seals & JGB (Jerry Garcia Band) Rocked the Roof off the Miners Foundry Friday Night. This was the first time for Melvin & the JGB to play in Nevada City & I don’t think it will be the last. The music was awesome all night long with them playing a lot of the songs made famous by the JGB. They also played songs by the Dead and started their second set with a very long version of Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come”. What a night it was!!! The Foundry was packed with local Dead Heads and some that even came from miles away. I was so glad to have been there and so glad to live in the small town of Nevada City with such a wonderful music scene.
