The Cyclones With Liam Hogg: “The Dakotas” By P.J. O’Connell – Music VIDEO

WELLFLEET – This weekend, for the first time since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, we heard live music on Cape Cod.

Here is the legendary Cape band, The Cyclones, with special guest drummer Liam Hogg, playing a great P.J. O’Connell song, “The Dakotas” at one of our favorite spots, The Pearl.



The band featured guitarist Bruce Maclean, Jay Hagenbuckle on bass, Malcolm Carlisle on keyboards and Hogg on drums.

A slight breeze was blowing through the screened-in patio, It was a June crowd, not completely full. So it felt safe, and perfect. We even saw saw some of our favorite people who we seem to see at all the good Outer Cape shows, which felt familiar, nostalgic, and comforting.

It did not feel normal, but if felt normal-ish. After a few songs, we moved on. Our soul was refreshed.

And it was quite a weekend of music. It  began with an outdoor concert on Saturday in the garden-like setting that is the backyard of the Falmouth Art Center for a unforgettable show by Kim Moberg and Heather Swanson.
