Thanks to Sonor Drums for sponsoring the evening and congrats to prize winners Dan Elliott (Sonor bass pedal), Paul Lewis (Sonor coffee mug), and Rob Hill, Don Lydon and Jeff Sherman (Sonor T-shirts) Thanks also to Guitar Center of North Olmsted who gave all participants a 10% coupon toward their next gear purchase. A big CMC thank you to Tracy who worked very hard to keep everyone fed and watered. As always, our thanks to Doc for giving us a fantastic place to eat, drink, and jam each week.
On Friday, Shady Drive debuted at Sassy’s Bar and Grill in Twinsburg. The staff was amazing and the room really sounds great. Everyone was super and we had a great time! We’re back there again on September 28 and can’t wait!
On Saturday, we traveled to the Black River Landing in Lorain to appear with the Soul Men. It’s always a fun gig onstage with them and Saturday night was no exception. They had the entire crowd rockin’ with us all night long! Word is that we’ll be back there next year and possibly again before this season is over. Stay tuned!
Coming up this week, I’ll be with co-hosts George Hartwig and Sammy Free on Tuesday at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm) for another edition of the Cleveland Music Club Jam Night. Our sponsor this week is Guitar Center of North Olmsted. Doc’s delicious burgers are 2 for 1 and margaritas are $3 until 9pm. Come on out and get your jam on!
Shady Drive has no scheduled public appearances this week. We are appearing at a private function in Columbus on Saturday night.
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
