June Staff Picks!

Here’s the gear the Mass Street staff has been ogling in the store - everyone actually picked the Grosh 193 but I made them pick something else (except John since he’s the boss):

John Flynn - Grosh DG-193 Semi-Hollow Set Neck

Perfection!

This one's an '11'!

Jason Jones - Dr Z Galaxie Head

A blues-rocker’s dream, the Galaxie is a 6L6 driven circuit with that features a channel switching option that delivers warm, punchy clean and expressive, gritty overdrive with a click of a button. Going with the head is also a very affordable and versatile choice, allowing you to use different cabinets to achieve the exact blues tone that suits you best!

Another winner from the good doctor

Mike Farris bringing full 10-piece band to Liberty Hall tonight

Mike Farris is bringing the entire Roseland Rhythm Revue, including one more McCrary sister - this makes a total of three of the exceptional gospel divas singing backup, and makes it a total 10 piece band (including lot ‘o horns!) for tonight’s show at Liberty Hall in Lawrence. If you’re in town tonight (Fri. June 19!), don’t miss this show - he’s a newcomer but he’s really making tracks - Telluride Bluegrass Festival and opening for Patti LaBelle at the Hollywood Bowl.  And Lawrence! Here’s my favorite track he does from Youtube: O Mary Don’t You Weep. Fans of R&B, Gospel, Soul, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings type stuff, I think you’ll find this to be the real deal.

Andy McKee stopped by the store…

Andy McKee stopped by Mass Street Music Wednesday to get a repair done on his beautiful Michael Greenfield guitar.  He said he’s taking a little break before heading to the UK for some shows, then he’ll be heading into the studio to record his next album. McKee’s new album should be out in January.  In the meantime you can check out Greenfield’s site and here’s a link on his site to Andy with his Greenfield.

Here’s Andy’s Greenfield, and a detail of the repair we’re fixing.
