Hi gang!
Last week kicked off with another super fun Cleveland Music Club – CMC Jam night. Thanks to hosts Furious George Hartwig and Gary G Rock Stulak, the band “Treble Breathing” (Emily Gendics, vocals; Mark Loper, guitar; David Scheatzle, guitar; Ben Safos, bass; Michael Petrus, drums; Zach Smith, keyboards) “Treble Breathing” will be performing in round 5 of the 2015 TRI-C HIGH SCHOOL ROCK OFF (http://www.cleveland.com/…/2015_tri-c_high_school_rock_of_7…). These are some very talented young musicians. Go check them (and their fellow contestants) out. The future of the Cleveland music scene is in good hands. Also thanks to jammers Hayden Frosti, David Poirier, Gerald Hurd, Bob Laeng, Jim, Dan Pfifer, Dan Elliott, Greg Kern, Don Lydon, Gregory McGill, Emery and Phil Ondrejech. Thank you to Tim, Effie, Tricia, Ross, Joe, Brad, Mary Beth, the Dancing Marilyns and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful’ for coming out to support the players. Finally, thanks go to our sponsor Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and the staff and management of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe for making these weekly shindigs possible.
On to Saturday night and Shady Drive’s Fairview Tavern show. We rocked the house all night long with Monica, John, Kathy, James, Liz, Joe, Sandy, Ken, The Dancing Marilyns, Laura, Gerald, Lisa, April, Zach and the entire Tavern gang! Tony Koussa turned in an outstanding performance on bass! A great time was had by all. :c)
