Multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Carolyn Cruso is back in town from Orcas Island, bringing her hammered dulcimer to Muddy’s Hot Cup Tuesday, Oct. 23.
Much different action that night down the way at Jambalaya, where tattooed rockabilly diva Colleen Duffy aka Devil Doll does her best to “put the sex back into rock ’n’ roll.” The Monster Women help.
