Playing In The Band

Tonight, Tallahassee band Harvest Gypsies plays The Mockingbird Cafe in Tallahassee. Harvest Gypsies is a hard-working local band that always put on a heartfelt show with a mix of jazzy, bluesy, pop originals and covers that gets everybody dancing and smiling. At the keyboards will be the wonderful songwriter Mike Rychlik, a public school teacher, writer, all around great guy, and father of several fine musicians.

Mike has been playing the Tallahassee scene in various bands, including the Labamba Brothers,since the eary 1970s. This month, in his excellent blog, he has written a wonderful entry about playing on Tennessee Street in the old days at the Pastime, the Pastime II and Tommy's. Read it and take a trip back. 

Tonight, at the Mockingbird, Mike and Warren Sutton will play acoustic versions of Mike's songs from 7-8. The full Harvest Gypsies band plays from 8-11. The show is free. It's always a good idea to reserve a table, and get something to eat, since the venue is pretty small.  Have fun!
