Hi gang!
I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday! We started it off in style on Tuesday at Doc and Louie’s with the CMC Musicians’ Jam Night! Taking the stage were guest hosts Rob ‘Shady’ Hayes and Kevin ‘Hollywood’ Fancher and jammers Jen Adame (awesome jam night debut!!), Jon Darling, John Powell, Greg Kern, Don Lydon, Mike Cottom, Michael Horvath, Bob Laeng, Scott Urbas, Joey Samide, Bob, Blake Kniola, Celeste Harsa, Pat Reiter, Jerry Shultz, Frank Fischer, Bob DeVries, Tom Pullitt and the band “Casual Observers”… Jimmy Deamiches, Dan Haller, Evan and Dennis). Thanks also to Barb, Gene, Shelly, Vern, Nancy, Effie, Aron, Joe, Wes, Peanuts, The Dancing Marilyns and the rest of Doc’s music loving patrons for coming out to share in all the fun and music. Also huge thanks to Dirty Town Guitars and Amps for their sponsorship. I don’t know of any other local business that does as much to support the music community. Finally, thank you Doc and Sherri for your hard work.
I was off the rest of the week, as Shady Drive took a breather to rest up for the busy weeks and months ahead.
So, coming up this week…
This Tuesday, join us at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm) for the weekly CMC Musicians’ Jam Night. This week’s guest hosts are Drew Doman and Steve Smith. As always, Doc’s amazing burgers are $4.95 (w/fries) all night and margaritas are $3 until 9pm. There’s plenty of parking in Doc’s front and back lots, O’Reilly’s back lot and their front lot after they close at 9pm. Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, Sonor drums, Alesis QS6 keyboard and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancing shoes and come join the fun!
Friday will find Shady Drive back at the fabulous 42 Eighty Food and Drink (4280 Shenandoah Pkwy. Brunswick, 9:30pm – 1:30am) to rock the house. The food is out of this world (try the burgers or wings!), the drinks are delicious and the staff is super fast and friendly! Our gigs there are always a blast so don’t miss out! Come join us!!
On Saturday we’ll travel to Toledo for a private event.
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
