ROTUNDO ROCKS THE COVE
to close out 10th BOTR season
One of the best Blues harp players and most dynamic performers in the country - and a damn fine singer/songwriter too - DAVID ROTUNDO www.davidrotundo.com and his excellent band closed out the 10th annual BLUES ON THE RIDEAU at THE COVE INN, Westport Series with a BANG this past weekend. It was David's 7th consecutive annual visit to BOTR - the most of any act to play the Series over the past decade. Fabulous show, great crowd both nights - some came from as far away as Montreal and Toronto just to see him, another delicious buffet served up by The Cove - Memphis BBQ ribs (yum!) and, as always - good service, a warm, friendly atmosphere and lots of dancing! |
