When you go to as many live music shows as we do, you not only start to notice the people who perform with some regularity in the city, but you also become acutely aware of the musicians who consistently support other musicians. One of the greatest cheerleaders of the local scene is Gayle Skidmore. You can always see her smiling face in the crowd at local shows at the Casbah, Soda Bar or Tin Can, but it is when she performs that she really shines. Thursday is her record release party and nobody deserves the support gifted back to them more than Ms. Skidmore. If you haven't ever seen supporting act Goldenboy, this will be an exceptionally great night for you.
