The Blue Gils featuring Satch Romano rocked the Next Page Cafe in Weymouth Mass last Saturday night
The Blue Gils hit the stage at Next Page Cafe last Saturday night and played nothing but solid, driving blues. Slow boil blues and uptempo songs with blistering guitar notes were the order of the evening.
The Blue Gils nailed a perfect rendition of Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Texas Flood,” with Gil Correia taking his sweet time unfolding the quiet storm of this number.
