Summer Concert Series at the Gazebo: Whiskey Talk
WhiskeyTalk is a hard driving acoustic 4 piece out of Beverly and Gloucester featuring Carl Gasowski, Jim Kuhns, Paul Howard, and Doug Turnbull. All veterans of Boston area bands, each brings his own unique musical baggage along on a somewhat meandering and genre-bending cross country drive that picks up dialects and influences along the way.
WhiskeyTalk is fronted by 2 songwriters whose most recent bands were punk and bluegrass, and backed by a Rock and Roll rhythm section. Coming from pretty divergent worlds has given us the ability to push each other into and out of our own comfortable genres and come up with a sound that's unique but deferential to its roots. We recently released our first album, Batten Down the Hatches, which is available on all streaming services
Come down to the Beverly Common Gazebo and enjoy the music! And get more information on the fantastic Whisky Talk HERE!
