Last night’s 1970 tribute at the Family Wash was a mind-blowing experience. The all-star cast ripped through covers like Midnight Rambler, Dig A Pony, and many more hits from an important year in Rock history. Tonight is the second night of a 2-day celebration and reservations will be necessary to be a part of this intimate event. Here is the official press release:
The Sons of Zevon, a crack collective of some of Nashville’s finest rock musicians — and the Brigadoon of cover bands — will unite at The Family Wash on Thursday and Friday, November 12 and 13, at 9:00 p.m. to pay tribute to a single year: 1970. Named in honor of the first artist the group honored, the legendary songwriter Warren Zevon, The Sons of Zevon reconvene only rarely to dig into the catalogs of iconic songwriters. The band, together with a steady parade of guest vocalists, has feted Neil Young and, in a famous 2007 bid to raise money to buy the Family Wash’s beer license back, Tom Petty. But the band has never tackled the output of a single year, until now.
Much like the semi-secret society The Sons of Lee Marvin — the existence of which has never been confirmed — the set list for the show and why 1970 was chosen, is a bit mysterious.
“I can’t really explain it,” says Jamie Rubin, Family Wash owner and co-founding member of The Sons of Zevon. “There’s just something frenetic about that year. While Vietnam was reaching its lowest point, Jagger got busted for pot. The Beatles officially broke up, Janis Joplin died, Black Sabbath was born and Elvis launched a comeback. Something crazy was happening. It felt like an era was coming to an end badly, and then all this amazing music came out of the wreckage. George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass; The Beatles’ Let It Be, The Rolling Stones’ Get Yer Ya Yas Out!, From Bonnie to Delaney…it’s amazing when you think of it. [click to continue…]

Ernie Gray & City Netlinks Web Development is proud to launch the new e-commerce portal for Sealake Inc: The Good Spots www.thegoodspots.com! Jack Salzer started Sealake Products in 1990 to make it easier for fishermen to find good places to fish off the coastal Carolinas. The handy easy‐to‐understand chart he developed was so popular and appreciated that other charts soon followed.
Sealake Products has been making unique nautical prints and fishing charts for over 18 years. Our products are informative, accurate, and cover some of the most interesting nautical subjects, from Sharks, to Hurricanes, to Shipwrecks!
His interest in nautical history overflowed into the shipwreck charts, a shark attack print, and hurricane tracking chart that have also become popular. It’s rewarding to discover that thousands of people share my love of the sea.
With the new upgrade, Jack’s clients can now enjoy an easy and fun shopping experience.
