Pat Bloodwell’s Celebration of Life from 4-9 PM. From the invitation: “One of the Bloodwell family traditions was to have a big jam with lots of local talent on Christmas day. Well, we want to celebrate Pat’s life in same manner. There will be plenty of amps and drums. So, if you have guitar or bass just bring it. If your instrument is your voice, just bring yourself. Even if you have a story about Pat you just want to share! Matt Bloodwell’s band, Megaphone and members of Iced Down will be performing throughout the evening and you never who is going to get up and jam. This is one event you don’t want to miss.”
Those are your choices for live local music in Orlando for the coming week. It’s time to go out and support, and show the musicians and venues that we have a strong music community in Orlando.
