Top Tips for Live Music (for the week beginning April 19th)

Best bet:  Sean Rowe has been generously entertaining us throughout Covid with his Quarantine Sunday shows.  This Saturday, we have the opportunity to see him live at Caffe Lena.  Two shows (5:00 and 8:00).  To whet your appetite, hear his take on Pearl Jam’s “Just Breathe” from last Sunday’s show.
