Hi gang!
Another great week started off with the Cleveland Music Club jam night at Doc and Louie’s. Joining co-hosts Drew Doman, Steve Smith and me onstage were “Five Finger Discount” (Jimmy Deamiches, Jason Neitenbach, Dennis) and “Family Tradition” (Darrin Meecha, Charlie Vanek, Rich Gross), Jay Smith, Louis Johnson, Tim Hamman, Rob Hill, Luke Pernici, Tony Shultz, Charlie Adams, John Kerver, Drew Oxley, Bob Laeng, Hayden Frosti, John Powell, Dan Elliott, Don Lydon, Greg Kern, Priscilla Zietlow and ET King. Stopping by to hang out and lend their support were Ben, Amanda, Laurie, Mike B., Jim, Scott and the rest of Doc’s music loving patrons. Thank you to our sponsor, Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and congrats to our prize winners, Jimmy Deamiches, Dan Elliott and Rob Hill. As always, big thanks you to The Amazing Kristen who always lives up to her name and to Doc for keeping the snow (REALLY?!?!?!) off of our heads.
On Friday, Shady Drive was off to Mad Mike’s and an appearance with our good friend Erin Rossi. Many thanks to Bill, Patty, Melissa, Lisa, Joe, Adam, the two Sallys, Lisa, Anthony, Cassie, Pat and Wally for coming out to party with us! Thanks also to Erin who turned in a stellar performance and to Angie for having us!
Saturday found Shady Drive back at the Fairview Tavern playing to a full house. We had a blast and it was really great to see our friends Jon, Jen, John, Don, Chris and Daryl there!
Coming up this week, Tuesday’s Cleveland Music Club jam night at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm) will feature co-hosts Rob Hayes (of Shady Drive) and Sammy Free. Our sponsor is Guitar Center of North Olmsted, so there’ll be some nice prizes. Don’t forget the 2 for 1 burger and $3 margarita specials! Grab your axe and appetite and come on down to Doc’s!
This Friday, Shady Drive returns to The Mad Cactus (9175 Pearl Rd., Strongsville, 9pm – 1am) at 9pm to party down with Teddy, Tischa and the Cactus gang! It’s always a blast at the Cactus so plan now to attend!
On Saturday Shady Drive will appear at the Riverside Pub (4363 Rocky River Dr., Cleveland, 9pm – 1am). This is our first time at Riverside, so come on out and let’s show them a genuine Shady Drive party!
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
