Much to Ray Mason's surprise, his band isn't playing at Tom's Eatin' and Drinkin' Place in Northboro this Saturday night. In fact, no one will be eatin' and drinkin' there anymore, and haven't been for two weeks. Formerly known as Tom's Gourmet Marketplace, owners (Joe Seely, pictured with events director Erin Duggan) apparently hadn't let any of the acts know that the place had closed down.
"So nice that they never told any of the performers who were booked there, at least not me," said Mason. "I tried calling there today to find out that their phone was disconnected. Bad sign! A friend of mine headed me off at the pass so that I wouldn't have to drive out there for nothing. Showbiz is tough."
Hopefully Howie knows he's not playing Friday night, though he, and several others are still on the Website.
Hmm... Tom's Eatin' and Drinkin' Place not owned by anyone named "Tom" should have been a tip-off....
