Kid David & The Bullets Celebrate With Sinatra Night
On Thursday, March 27, Kid Davis & the Bullets will celebrate two years of their popular Thursday night residency at Gallucio’s Italian Restaurant.
In honor of this milestone, the band will perform their album Sinatra for Cantera in its entirety — an 11-song tribute to Frank Sinatra, reimagined in classic Bullets’ style.
The evening promises to be a classy affair, featuring timeless music, delicious Italian cuisine, drink/food specials, and as always, no cover.
“During the pandemic, our good friend Dave Cantera suggested we play more than just one Sinatra tune,” says bandleader Michael “Kid” Davis. “Inspired by his idea, we secretly recorded an entire album of Sinatra classics.
“We’ve talked about doing a special concert ever since, so we’re thrilled to finally bring that vision to life and celebrate our two-year anniversary at Gallucio’s with a performance of the entire album.”

French Ladybug Artist Laura Bourgeois Releases Single
After her performance at last year’s Ladybug Music Festival, Laura Bourgeois returned to France with a lot a great memories and stories to tell. She also stayed in touch with her new friends abroad.
Earlier this year, Bourgeois released her first single, “Eye Candy,” and announced a five-song EP coming out next month. In the song, our musical pen pal challenges the “false inevitability of motherhood,” reminding the listener that it is a choice — and that the decision not to have children is valid.
“By sharing my own questions about having children, I realized that many women still feel guilty just at the thought of expressing their doubts,” writes Bourgeois, “And those who do often face accusations of being ‘selfish.’ I wanted to contribute to deconstructing the pressure to become a mother.”
