While we slowly approach old times, things will remain different, but this year’s festival season, if it goes off as planned promises a great summertime season.
As people are anxious for more blues, this week’s column will list the information that has come across our desk.
On Friday, Cheryl Tracy is at Relish 670 in Middletown.

Guitarist Desiree Ragoza has been jamming with the greats of rock music since she was just a teen.
A YouTube search finds the young Ashford, Connecticut, native performing on stage with the likes of Fran Cosmo and Barry Goudreau from Boston, Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent, Marshall Tucker Band, Vinny Moore and Tony MacAlpine. In every single video, Ragoza looks like she is having the time of her life, jamming out with a big smile on her face.
“It’s hard not to smile,” she admitted. “I just get caught up in the moment of playing and forgetting about everything else around me - it just naturally resonates with me.”
