• Local blues-folkies MOORE, WILD, AND LYNCH got a star visitor at their Wednesday night RiRa gig: JONATHAN EDWARDS sat in for a few songs, including "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield, George Jones's "The Race is On," Bob Marley and the Wailers' reggae classic "Redemption Song," and his own hit "Shanty." He'll be back in late January at One Longfellow Square.
