One of Sacramento’s favorite and best blues singers is leaving. Yes, Stacie Eakes is moving to the East Coast. Moving all the way to Delaware to be specific. She’s been playing the Torch Club here for years and has developed quite a following. There’s a nice write-up in the current SubMerge (issue 39). Her last show before she moves is July 31st at (of course) the Torch Club.
SubMerge says she’ll be back in October for the Blues For Life cancer benefit and also a New Years Eve show with The Superfreakes. That’s good to know. You are always welcome here in Sacramento, Stacie…
SACSHOWS TO HOST SACRAMENTO’S FIRST EVER RED CARPET MUSIC AWARDS SHOW / JERRY PERRY TO BE HONORED
On Sunday, August 16, 2009 SacShows will host the 1st Annual SacShows Local Music Awards at Empire Events Center in Downtown Sacramento. SacShows has invited local celebrity guests and rolled out the red carpet (literally) for ALL local musicians to celebrate the local music community. With guest presenters from local radio stations (98 Rock, 100.5 The Zone, & the now-changed KWOD 106.5) SacShows will be recognizing the best artists in Sacramento in a different style than others have in the past.
Local Sacramento music legend, Jerry Perry, will be honored at this awards event by receiving the first ever SacShows Hall of Fame Award. Perry will be honored for his continued hard work and dedication to the local Sacramento music scene over the past 20+ years.
Looks like a fun evening honoring Sacramento music!

Seattle indie rock band Skeletons with Flesh on Them will be visiting Sacramento for the first time on July 27. They’re playing at R5 Records at 5 pm and The Java Lounge at 7 pm. Come on out and show them some Sacramento love. Let’s just hope it’s not 104 degrees that day (like today). Whatever, just know that they have released their first album.
The band BLVD is coming to Beatnik Studios on July 24th, 2009! Here’s the scoop. The show is at 9pm and tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. The address of the place is 2421 17th Street, Sacramento, CA, the phone number is 916.443.5808. Looks like a good show…
Hope you made it to the big event. Yeah, the one with all the music and the awards. What did you think? While you contemplate that question, you can view a list of the 2009 Sammies winners here. Did your favorite artist win? Did you vote for them? There’s always next year…
