New Weekly Feature – Local Music Scene Report

19 Comments
Hello Delaware Liberal (and the Conservative readership too, I can be bipartisan)! I’m Rachel Schain.  You’ve been seeing the ad for my first CD, Happy Happy, in the upper right corner of this blog for, oh, about two years now.  That very brightly colored one.  You’ll have a new one as soon as my next CD, LilacFace, is released (the band and I were in the studio this weekend, and I cannot wait to put this out).  I happen to be Upstate Delaware’s Favorite Musician, according to the 2011 Best of Delaware poll.  My reign continues this year thanks to the fact that they didn’t include the category in the 2012 survey. You might be wondering why I’m blogging here.  Well, the good folks at DL came to me, knowing that I’m fairly plugged into the local music scene.  I’ll be giving you weekly recommendations for your weekend rocking pleasure.  In the comments, let me know if you want me to include Philly and NJ shows or just Wilmington/Newark area shows.  

Bullock is getting the Endorsements

14 Comments
Rev. Chris Bullock was unanimously endorsed recently by the Wilmington Democratic City Committee. And yesterday, he got the endorsement of one of his former rivals for the office of New Castle County Council President, that of Bill Dunn. Bill Dunn left the race for County Council President once Speaker Gilligan announced his retirement from representing the 19th Representative District. I am curious on our readers' take on the County Council race, especially as it plays into the County Executive race? Personally, I am undecided between Taschner and Bullock. Bill Dunn was going to get my vote. Of Renee and Chris, I have met with both of them over the years and I like both of them. What are your thoughts?
