Harper. Thanks for some great music and fun! Thanks also to Celeste, Barb, Brian, Lisa, Tina, Darrin, Gene, Marty, Mari, Tom, Joanne, Lenna, Tina, Scott, Jim and Bob on hand to hang out and cheer on the jammers. Thanks for coming out to support your friends (and/or fellow musicians!) Congratulations to Dan Elliott who won a shiny new Sonor kick-drum pedal and to Greg Kern, Luke Pernici, Bob Laeng who all won Sonor tee-shirts! Thank you, amazing Kristen, for your hard work, as always! Doc, thank you for hosting our party every week!
Next on the agenda was a fun private event with Shady Drive at the House of Blues on Friday morning. Thanks to Steve, Billy and the rest of the HOB crew for a great job on sound and lights. After that, Shady Drive was off to Doc and Louie’s to party with Doc and his gang. We did just that, too, playing until almost 2am! Definitely a fun night. We’ll be back at Doc and Louie’s on Friday March 2.
Coming up this week, it’s a full schedule of events. We’ll kick things off on Tuesday with the Cleveland Music Club jam night at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd. North Olmsted; 7pm – 11pm) This week’s co-hosts are Michael Bay and G.S. Harper and the evening is sponsored by Forcefield Entertainment. Come out and join us for Doc’s 2 for 1 burgers and $3 Margaritas, great music, friends, prizes and lots of fun!
On Wednesday, join G.S. Harper, Kevin Fancher and me for a Cleveland Music Club acoustic evening at the fabulous Fairview Tavern (21867 Lorain Rd., Fairview Park) from 8pm until 11pm. Kick back and listen to your favorite blues and rock tunes in an acoustic setting while you enjoy the Tavern’s great pizza, burgers, steaks, wings or one of their many other delicious menu items.
Then on Friday, Shady Drive is back at Irish Kevin’s (13601 Detroit Ave., Lakewood) to party the night away with the Kevin’s regulars. Come join us for a great time!
That’s it for this week. We’ll talk soon…
