MICHAEL JEROME BROWNE
w. JOHN McCOLGAN
The ACOUSTIC BLUE SUNDAY Dinner & Show Series at THE COVE INN is drawing near to its end for this season (just one Show left, September 9th with TREASA LEVASSEUR & DAVID BAXTER) - but it seems as if it is getting better with each show if that is possible. Canadian Folk Music Solo Artist Award winner, 2X Juno Award and 17X Maple Blues Award nominee MICHAEL JEROME BROWNE - along with his long time friend and percussionist JOHN McCOLGAN - came up from Montreal to play a wonderful evening of music last night. Great mix of original songs - many from his most recent CD "The Road Is Dark" plus some classics by artists like Al Green and Robert Johnson. Michael proved why he is known as a "musician's musician" with his voice and skill on guitar - regular, 12 string and slide - plus gourd banjo and fiddle. We got a little of everything from soul to roots, blues, folk, country, Quebec/Cajun and it was all great. John on drums, washboard and triangle complimented him beautifully. There was a good contingent of his Quebec fans who followed him for the show plus a couple from Nashville and Memphis in the audience. See what they had to say below on their Comment Cards. |

| The Cove buffet was delicious as always with maple & dijon glazed ham, mango chutney salmon, potatoes, veggies, salads and a delicious chocolate mousse for dessert. $350 was raised for the Rideau Valley Art Festival which was held this past weekend. |

| "Excellent food, service and great artists. Acoustics were great - not too loud, just perfect for careful listening. The audience was attentive and respectful" Pat Brown, Inverary ON "Venue great, food perfect, service numero uno, artist was the BEST and sound was excellent. Great ambience. Our first time to The Cove and Westport. We are big fans of Michael Jerome Browne and followed him here. We'll be back" Gerald Lemire, St-Eustache QC "The sound could be Nashville but the water, the warmth, the weather and the hospitality are unique and special. 9's and 10's out of 10 for everything. We'll be back with more family to share the experience" Clare & Mark Brooks, Nashville TN "Blues At The Cove almost as good as Blues in Memphis :-). Great" Frank Guarino, Memphis TN |
