Sleuthing out the music!

Stopped in at a couple of clubs beachside this morning, firming up live music schedules. Of course one of those was Waldo's on the beach. There I spoke with Lee, the guy in charge, because I wanted to know when the blues band, Nasty Habits, was playing.

I found out they are scheduled to play Waldo's, on Friday, August 26th , 8pm to 11pm.  I've heard Mike, from that group, play at a jam at the ''V" and loved his hard-hitting guitar sound and his raunchy blues singing. Also, Rick Collins, a really professional drummer and a great singer, is now with Nasty Habits. Rick is a busy guy, playing with Voodoo, Nasty Habits and various events with Kent Taylor Brown along with other appearances up and down the coast. 
Friday should be a special evening out by the pool with the sound of the ocean throwing in a little rhythm of its own.   

Also stopped by Havana Nights and confirmed with the wonderful Cynthia, that yes, they have live entertainment - piano players and singers - every night of the week.

This hotel and bar are at such a beautiful location, right off of ocean and Jasmine Ln. The tropical landscaping all around the Carribean hotel is gorgeous! When you go, be sure to tour through the restaurant downstairs before coming upstairs to the bar. Its like a tropical movie set, you will expect to run into Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall having dinner there. 

Upstairs is an intimate, classy bar with low lighting, a nicely shaped bar and dinner seating below beautiful tropical paintings of birds and palms. There is a deck for smokers and star gazers. (I'll soon link you to their site with photos.)

The entertainers are:
Bobby of Bobby and the Blisters band; Neil of the River Rats band; Antonio York bringing you New Orleans Jazz; and Lisa who does everything from Diana Krall to Sinatra.
For now, I suggest you take pot luck and enjoy them all, but I'll try to nail down who plays which night exactly.
