Hello out there to all my friends and Coconut Times readers - I’m back!  I took a longer-than-usual winter hiatus this year but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been going out.  No sir-ee!  I’ve been enjoying lots of fabulous music at venues as far north as Harpoon Hanna’s to West Ocean City and Berlin.  The latest hotspot right in my neighborhood is Taphouse West where I’ve had the pleasure of hearing such acts as Lauren Glick, Rockoholics, Hot Sauce Band, Aaron Howell Duo and a few others; plus singing a bit on Tuesdays with Jeremy’s Karaoke.  What I’m really excited about right now, and the reason I’m writing to you, is that Coconuts Beach Bar & Grill at The Castle in the Sand will be opening for the 2024 season on Thursday, May 2.  That, of course, is traditionally the opening weekend to coincide with Springfest.  F&B Manager Jeff Hicks has once again assembled an impressive lineup of talent to entertain us including such long-time favorites as Darin Engh, Monkee Paw, Kevin Pool... » Click here for the full story.

The date is fast approaching for the CD release party for Lauren Glick’s latest collection of great songs in Maybe I’ll Run.  House of Sauce in Fenwick, Del., is the place to be on Thursday, November 16, from 7-9pm.  That’s right, friends and fans, Glick’s next CD is dropping just in time for the holidays; but you can be the first to get your copy at this exciting night of music and fun including giveaway prizes.  (Reservations are recommended.)The lyrics on the title track are indicative of where Lauren’s journey has brought her to in this point in her life.  I sat down to talk with the artist recently, being curious to know how she manages to juggle the many facets of her daily life: careers and motherhood. Yes, that’s multiple careers because Glick also teaches piano and yoga. “That’s what “Maybe I’ll Run” is all about,” she told me.  “It’s often a feeling of living two lives at once, thinking maybe I should be a stay-at-home mom to raise my kids; but maybe I should go for it!”  ... » Click here for the full story.

Hi, y’all.  I’ve been goofing off all day today; it’s 4:30 and I’m just sitting down to ‘talk’ with you.  I plan to keep it brief because I’m exciting to be going to the Globe in Berlin to hear my pals in Teenage Rust play for what may be the last of their fall tour.  It’s always such a good time going to hear them for the favorite tunes they play for us and the many friends who join us for the fun - really, it’s like a BJ’s reunion every time.So ... last weekend was a blast being at the last big hurrah for Coconuts Beach Bar & Grill.  Don’t we wish we could have had this great weather?  It was freezing!  But I broke out my winter cape and hat and was pretty toasty.  Let me tell you what was way hot - Lime Green Band.  That’s right ... after a summer off while guitarist Terry recuperated from a dangerous aneurysm, the band was back in full force and sound great.  I have to say again that Angeline is one of the best vocalists in the area.  People are always asking who’s my favorite ... » Click here for the full story.
