Hi gang!
It was another fun Cleveland Music Club jam at Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe. Huge thanks to Rob Hayes and Kevin Fancher who stepped up to guest host on short notice. Rob will be the new week two guest host on guitar, replacing Drew Doman who’s left us to devote more time to his own jam night. We wish Drew and Uncle Steve the best and thank them both for all of the fun shared over the past few years. Mr. Fancher was kind enough to do an extra night of guest hosting on bass this month. He will be back with G.S. Harper the first Tuesday of every month. Look for Tim Hamman to fill the week two slot on bass starting next month. Big thanks also to all of our jam night participants. It was a great night of music! On guitar were David Poirier, Hayden Frosti, John Hamley, Bob Laeng, Bob Laverty, John Kerver, Mike Cottom, William Kiehn, Jimmy Deamiches and Jason Neitenbach. On bass, Amanda Baher, Bob Laeng and John Kerver. On drums, Greg Kern, Tom King, Mike Cottom, Dan Haller and Greg McGill. On vocals, Captain Bill. Drawing winners were William Kiehn and Jason Neitenbach. Thank you to the folks helping us out in the audience tonight including: Dave, David, Jacqueline, Steven, Vern, Gerald, Tricia, Aron, G.S., the Dancing Marilyns and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful. Thanks to Meg behind the bar, Summer, Shannon, Ali, Russell and the rest of the Bullfrog staff for taking care of us each Tuesday and to Dirty Town Guitar and Amps for sponsoring us week after week.
Friday night at the Upper Deck we were joined by Karen, Ken, Katy, Amanda, Jason, Jimmy, Dan, Patty, Melissa and Bill. We had a great time!
On Saturday, the Bier Haus was packed with a Canadian hockey team that was in town in addition to Chris, Daryl, Sandy, Ken, Bob, Gary, Merle, Gordy, Hope and Mike. What a blast! If you weren’t there…you missed a lot of fun.
Coming up this week…
The Cleveland Music Club Jam happens every Tuesday at Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe (33137 Center Ridge Rd., N. Ridgeville, 8:30 – 12:30) This week’s guest hosts are Furious George Hartwig and Gary G Rock Stulak. Our sponsor each week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. 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 dancin’ shoes and come join the fun!
This Friday, Shady Drive will head south and east to appear at Sassy’s Bar and Grill (10755 Ravenna Rd., Twinsburg, 9pm – 1am). This is a great venue and the staff is super fast and friendly. C’mon out and join us for an evening of blues and classic rock played the Shady Drive way!
Shady Drive is still in the studio recording tracks for our CD. Look for an early summer release date.
That’s all for this week. We’ll talk soon…
Mike :c)
