Hey guys,
I would like to thank all of you who voted for hissing lawns in the Connect Best of Savannah poll, we won best blog again this year. I know it means a lot to all of us who write on these this site (I think Tom even got a little giddy about it last year). We are all music lovers and hope we are doing something to make the Savannah music scene better.
Enough of the sappy stuff. As you can see below, this will be another big weekend, especially on Friday. It looks like I will be bouncing up and down Congress Street on many of the nights this week, I hope to see you around.
One of the regular gigs I would like to point out this week is the Wednesday Happy Hour show at El-Rocko lounge. If you haven’t made it to El-Rocko yet, this show could be a good excuse to go there and see the Anders Thomsen Band (with Jay Rudd of City Hotel on funky bass). And it’s an early happy hour, with music starting at 6pm.
