MidPoint 2009 has nearly arrived and unfortunately it doesn’t appear the rain will be letting up anytime soon. Rain or no rain I’m still planning on attending the kickoff party on Fountain Square – that is unless it gets canceled. If things do go on as scheduled, I’m sure Dan McCabe of MidPoint and CityBeat will say a few words before things get started. Shayna Zaid and the Catch are scheduled to play on Fountain Square at 5 pm, followed by The Young Republic at 6:15 pm. From there, I’ve narrowed my choices down to ten bands:
1. Aficionado – 8 pm – Inner Peace Holistic Center
2. The Daredevil Christopher Wright – 9 pm – The Segway Room
3. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit – 9:30 pm – Grammer’s
4. Ketch Harbour Wolves – 10 pm – Blue Wisp Jazz Club
5. Look Mexico – 10 pm – Know Theatre
6. Kuchi Guru – 10:30 pm – Courtyard Cafe
7. Middle Distance Runner – 11 pm – Blue Wisp Jazz Club
8. Mock Orange – 11 pm – Inner Peace Holistic Center
9. Scotland Yard Gospel Choir – 11:30 pm – Contemporary Arts Center
10. Brighton, MA – Midnight – Washington Platform
