As always, thanks go to Doc for providing such a great venue each week. He’s even been a great sport with all of the recent Mustang Sally renditions!
Shady Drive got a late booking to play Zeppe’s Tavern’s Bike Night on Wednesday. We really enjoyed playing for the Zeppe’s crowd. We’re back there on August 22 at 7pm. After that, we headed south to play a private event in Columbus on Saturday night, then back to Chagrin Falls for another private event on Sunday.
Coming up this week, I’ll hit the stage tonight with Dwayne Dickman and Tony Camerato to host the Cleveland Music Club Jam Night at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm). Our sponsor is Sonor Drums and they’ve provided some nice prizes to give away. Doc’s delicious burgers are 2 for 1 and margaritas are $3 until 9pm. The food is great and so is the music and there’s never a shortage of fun and friends, so come on out and get your jam on with us!
Next up, this Friday, Shady Drive will appear at Harpo’s Sports Cafe (5777 Smith Rd., Brookpark, 9pm – 1am) joined by the incredible Chris Hanna on keys and the fabulous North Coast Horns!! This is a rare event not to be missed!! With Chris and the horns aboard, this should be a very special night. :c)
On Saturday, Shady Drive cruises back to Frascati’s in the Valley (5143 Canal Rd., Valley View, 9pm – 1am). Weather permitting, we’ll be rockin’ the patio all night. The food is delicious and the wine selection can’t be beat! Great food, great music and good friends…always a winning combination! Come join us!
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
Mike :c)
