…And no, we didn’t book it on purpose. We just HAPPEN to have a gig at Captain Carlos at the same time as the Rumble this year. It was a great night last year, and this one will be no different! Friday, April 13 will be the Gloucester debut of new Deelinquents Pat DiCenso and Abbie Barrett, while we welcome back Tony and Samantha Goddess for a tune or two, or more!

Last, but certainly not least, see Deelinquents Eric Salt (& The Electric City) and Abbie Barrett at Johnny D’s on April 15, with Will Dailey! It’s an early show, and it’s the night before Patriot’s Day…so come out and see some great live music!

What a better way to get back in gear than with a new single? “Bandit of Love” is a brand new original, and “That Moon Was Low”, is a song written by the legendary Graham Parker. Stream the songs for free, or download ‘em on the cheap here.

Well, if you haven’t heard by now, I’m soon going to be Mama Dee. In August, fingers crossed, we’ll be adding a new little deelinquent to our big family. So this Friday will be our last gig in Gloucester for a while, and we sure hope you’ll join us. Our love for Gloucester is no mystery – and it ain’t just the scallops. Folks in Gloucester have the most fun at gigs – and if you don’t believe me, just check it out for yourself!
Friday, May 13 we’ll be at the Madfish Grille, 77 Rocky Neck Avenue Gloucester, MA 01930-4183 – (978) 281-4554

Hope to see you there!

In an unfortunate turn, we regretfully will not be participating in the Rumble Semi-Finals this Friday night, due to a pre-existing conflict with a gig that was booked in the fall of 2010 for the very same night (Friday, April 15th).

Even though the Semi-Finals are being held both Thursday night (the 14th) and Friday night (the 15th), The Rumble decided they could not accommodate Jenny Dee in the Thursday night Semi-Final because of certain rules pertaining to the event.

Rather than cancel a gig last minute, we have decided to withdraw from The Rumble. As much as we would have loved to kick John Powhida’s ass, we’ll let someone else do the honors. Some people are winners, and some people like fried scallops.

We will be playing the long-planned Opening Night at Captain Carlo’s in Gloucester on Friday night starting at 9pm.

The Dees will face some stiff competition in the Semifinals from Night #2 Winner Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys and from Night #3 Winner The John Powhida International Airport.

The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, The Boston Phoenix, and Boston Band Crush have been covering the each night of The Rumble, and you can read their picks for the Semifinals which will be held next Thursday and Friday (April 14^th and 15^th) at T.T.’s.  Stay tuned for set times!  And just in time for the Semifinals, check out Sara Brown’s profile of The Deelinquents in this month’s Performer Magazine.

Wish us luck, and see you there!
