2/9/11: Today’s Tips: Wednesday
MUSIC: Hot Tuna Blues @ the Colonial Theatre, Pittsfield. Not just Hot Tuna, but rather a roots-music lover’s dream package tour that also features blues harmonica great Charlie Musselwhite and alt-country kingpin Jim Lauderdale. 7:30pm. $35, $55.
MUSIC/RADIO: “Dancing On the Air” @ The Linda, Albany. Jay Ungar & Molly Mason host their monthly live-music radio show on WAMC-FM with special guests the Saints of Swing and Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters. 8pm. $10.
OPEN MIC: Best Damn Open Mic Night Ever @ McGeary’s, Albany. Tonight’s featured performer is Jim Gaudet. 6pm.
Caught Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys at McGeary’s on Monday and they were sounding great. Hot licks, tight harmonies and lots of new songs — that Gaudet is just a machine lately. You can bet they’ll be doing that new one co-penned by Jim and MotherJudge.
