hurricanes, vacations and reggae (not in that order)

Anyone who's stayed right on the beach in the off season can tell you, there's nothing like it. Wake up to a salty breeze and listen to gulls and surf. Make a cup of coffee, sit on the deck, and be in a hurry for absolutely nothing. Or wake up with the birds and head down to Cahoon Hollow Beach. Have breakfast in town. Take a drive to Provincetown. Visit the rest of Cape Cod National Seashore. It's all still there, just much less crowded.

Why are we tormenting you with this idea? Because we think you need a vacation, and we have just the cottage for you. There's still some September availability in the Comber cottages, just on the other side of the road from the club. Newly renovated, beautifully appointed, and ideally located, these cottages are the place to unwind and enjoy some of the finest days Cape Cod can dish up.

Give us a shout and we'll hook you up (click the link for pictures): http://www.thebeachcomber.com/cottages/

But it's not September yet! We still have a lot of lobsters to cook and a heap of live music is coming our way.

Nate Mott Band
Think Donavon Frankenreiter, Jason Mraz, and Sublime. Now think original songs and four hardworking young musicians. Listen to them on their website and you've got it.

Roots of Creation
We're lucky enough to get them back for a second show this summer (their tour schedule will make your head spin). Apparently they like Cahoon Hollow Beach as much as we do!

Looks like Hurricane Danny is dropping by for a visit this weekend. As much as we could probably do without hurricanes, it would kind of be a shame to miss out on the hurricane Danny jokes. Feel free to leave yours on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Wellfleet-MA/Wellfleet-Beachcomber/101634319166?ref=mf

Have a great day! We'll see you in the dunes.

Tickets on sale now!

Oh baby it is HOT!

You know what's good when it's hot? The condensation from a plastic cup held to your forehead, a little something from the raw bar, a whole heap of your closest friends and a view of the Atlantic. We have an entire Cape Cod vacation, right here waiting for you! We even have the t-shirt (buy at the club, at our store on Rte. 6, or online!) http://comberstore.myshopify.com/

It's been so great seeing all your happy faces here in Cahoon Hollow. What a summer it's been so far! It seems a lot of people have taken the advice of one reviewer at Trip Advisor:

"...go to the Beachcomber, early and often. I insist. Just don't take my seat at the bar."

We think it's an excellent idea. Have something to add? By all means, put it here:

It's been a banner year for live music! A bunch of shows have sold out (like tonight's Wailer's show), and the remaining national acts are on the verge of selling out. Click the links (below) and buy your tickets now! No foolin'.

Here's what's going down:

Jeff Tuohy Band
This is one hardworking dude. From Northampton, MA, Jeff Tuohy brings us some of this summer's fine, original songwriting. He was new to the Beachcomber in July, and we liked him enough to invite him back for a second show.

John Brown's Body
Another second show of the summer, we booked this one because our phones were ringing off the hook long after the first show sold out. Tickets are on sale now, and going fast: http://www.thebeachcomber.com/tickets/details?id=8017

Amy Ray Band (of Indigo Girls)
This one's for Indigo Girls fans as well as folks who are looking for something much edgier. Whatever you do, don't come looking for half an Indigo Girls show. Where the Indigo Girls are stripped-down, Amy’s solo albums are urgent, loud, and defiant. Her latest, "Didn't it Feel Kinder" is out on Daemon Records.

It's only fair to tell you (you clever people who signed up for these emails AND read to the bottom) that although Easy Star All-Stars don't play for a couple weeks, tickets are on sale now. And you guessed it, they're going fast.
