Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Jesse Dee got The Sinclair crowd going with a little bit of soul. OK, a lot bit of soul.
It’s a beautiful, sunny, late summer day and there are some bands playing on the Charles River? I’m in.
I grab Big Little One and we head down to the Harry Parker Boathouse at Community Rowing, Inc. to check out the Rumble On The River. Jesse Dee’s rock ‘n’ soul sound is the perfect soundtrack for a day like today. Jesse and his band are tearing it up on stage. They know how to work a crowd, even if the majority of that crowd is roped off in the beer garden.*
After the band’s set Big Little One and I go sit on the docks and watch the rowers. What a fantastic way to spend the afternoon.
* Jesse Dee also gained a 6 year-old-definitely-not-in-the-beer-garden fan this afternoon.
Ghost Of Jupiter threw down another slab of vintage goodness during Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Semifinal Night #2. The band plays a kind of throwback rock unadulterated by the music of modern times. It’s not ironic. They’re not mocking, mimicking or doing a tribute act. Ghosts Of Jupiter are simply their own child of the ’70s. These guys were locked in Friday night, laying down a heavy groove that would have made their forefathers proud.

Ghosts Of Jupiter just floored me. Their Rumble set was a clinic in heavy ’70s groove. Sure, huge sonic blasts of retro-riffage may not please everyone. Some people may write off their throwback style. That’s OK. Ghosts Of Jupiter probably can’t hear those people over the wall of awesomeness coming from the stage.
