The return of Guta and other local stuff
Gutatarians will be happy to know that Guta is back together after a short hiatus. They will be playing some gigs at Coasters on June 13th and 17th and at Levels on June 14th with special guest Tiffany Christopher of The Tiffany Christopher Band. Rumor has it that Ted Sablon, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter of Guta, met Christopher while in Colorado recently and brought her back with him, but that is unsubstantiated. I hope to get the low down on that soon, but that should be a good show. It’s good to see Levels getting some live acts as opposed to DJs, though DJs are great, too. There have been some Virginia bands like Rock Star Parking and Snack Bar Jones, as well as local favorites Further Adieu. Levels has a great stage area with lights and a big dance floor, so it’s a good thing to let some live bands take advantage of that. Maybe they’ll have some kind of battle of the bands there soon (hint, hint). I think that would go over well, maybe give out prizes or something. Local jazz band Connected has been trying to hit the scene more often with their great brand of music, so I hope some local venues will give them a chance for some exposure. If anyone has any ideas or wants to hire the band to play, give Ellard Forrester a call at ECSU at 335-3360. I heard a lot of good music at the Potato Festival, and got to hear Jerry Morgan of Strings Attached play a great old bluegrass tune. We should be hearing more from that band soon, especially when their CD finally comes out. There are a lot of performers from Edenton and Hertford as well as the Outer Banks that I hope to get into The Daily Advance soon, so keep a lookout. Thanks.
