A Summer Melody

Music is a universal language and here on Cape Cod our music scene is a melting pot. From jam sessions at the Woodshed to Reggae night at the Beachcomber summer on the Cape does not fall short of a concert at TD Garden or Xfinity center.

No cape summer is rightly fulfilled without some relaxing melodies and dancing like no one is watching. While this summer may be growing old and coming to an end, Music in the Port is keeping us young at heart. Our little indulgence has become a Wednesday tradition and with sun kissed skin, strolling around the coastal village of Harwich Port could not leave us more content.

Last night we threw our sandals and summer sundresses on for a special night with our favorite American idol contestant, Siobhan Magnus, who had the crowds hypnotized without hinge. With the sun crisply setting over our graceful home, the melodies floated and fluttered through our ears as we strolled in and out of the Route 28 shops. These enriching Wednesdays here on the cape are yet another example of the capes unspoiled and untapped experiences.

 There is something unique about sharing a night of carefree music with an ice cream in hand accompanied by friends and family that cannot be beat. However, shopping at dusk, listening to the expressions of local artists and grabbing a drink at perks new beer garden makes us weary of the approaching end of summer. 

   

While there is only one Wednesday left filled of both stirring and soothing music, the end of august and September still hold some great musical events. Whether you indulge in a Jazz filled night at Wequassett, spend a night in Chatham’s Kate Gould Park with the Chatham Band on Friday or let loose at the Live Love Local fest Aug 30th, the Cape has a venue for you and your family.

Little Victories on the Cape Cod Rail Trail

While some nasty crashes led to premature conclusions for the international cyclists participating in the Tour de France, here on the Cape you don’t need the winning yellow jersey to get out there. With the Tour de France kicking off earlier this week we thought what better locally loved activity to discuss but cycling.

Although sprinting up the hazardous mountains of France with hundreds of cyclists on your tail sounds just great, cycling on the cape is a bit different. The ocean breeze, warming sun and quaint towns helps all of us here on the Cape slow things down and that’s exactly how we go about our cycling. With over 22 miles of paved, undisturbed track the Cape Cod Rail Trail travels from Dennis through Brewster and even over to Wellfleet.

Earlier this week a member of our NEVR Team, Joanne, rented bikes for herself and friends who celebrated their victory with Bloody Mary’s and Goombays at the Beachcomber in

Wellfleet-- close to the Trails end. Simple triumphs like this are what make life taste so good, and the drinks definitely don’t hurt either. It is thru that the art of happiness is perfectly imperfect; however, the one proven fact is that these little moments are worth enjoying.

Jimmy Ponte, our friend down at Chatham Hood Bikes, spoke to us earlier about the benefits of cycling. With both mentally and physically rejuvenating qualities, Jimmy says he most enjoys making families and his bike renters happy. So if you find yourself daydreaming of the Tour de France while pedaling past ponds, open fields and spectacular views on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, trust us we won’t tell!
