DeVries, Vern, Gary, Derek, the Dancing Marilyns, the ‘Frog Faithful,’ Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and the staff and management of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe, thank you!!!

Thursday’s Shady Drive show at Panini’s Solon was a gorgeous evening, despite the unfriendly yellow jackets. :cX We had a great time and hope you did too!

Friday night at Vosh it was great to see Amy, Alice, Alex and the whole gang that came out to see us! Fun night!

It was very cool to be back at Fat Little Buddies on Saturday night. Many thanks to Mary, Bob, Chris, Daryl, Erika, Tricia, Shelley, Dave, Louise, Carol, Rita and everyone else who came out! We had a blast!

Coming up this week…

The Cleveland Music Club – CMC 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 Becky Boyd, Mike Dixon and Tim Hamman! Our sponsor each and every week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps (15230 Madison Ave. Lakewood)! Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, SONOR DRUMS and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancin’ shoes and come join the fun!

This Saturday night, Shady Drive returns to the Fairview Tavern (21867 Lorain Rd., Fairview Park, 9:30pm-1:30am) with Tim Hamman joining us on bass. The food there is second to none (try the $10 strip steak special!), the drinks are cold and the service is top notch! Add to that an evening of your favorite blues and rock tunes by Shady Drive and it’s party time!! Come join us!!
