Hi gang!

Winter got a bit ugly this past weekend and took a little bite out of our attendance at Irish Kevin’s and Loco Leprechaun. Even though the crowds were smaller, they definitely weren’t any less fun! We had a great time both Friday and Saturday and chased away some of those winter blues! Thanks to everyone who braved the snow and cold to come out! Thanks also to Morgan at Irish Kevin’s and Carol and Vanessa at Loco Leprechaun for taking such great care of us. :c)

Coming up this week, Shady Drive is playing a private function at the House Of Blues on Tuesday February 8, so Sam Romano will slide behind the drum kit and Ron Jackson will hop aboard on keys when The List takes the stage at Bullfrog’s for the weekly Musicians’ Jam Night.

On Friday February 11, Shady Drive returns to The Lamplighter in Parma. This is a fun venue with great bar staff and a lot of history, so come on out and join us!

Next, on Saturday February 12 I’ll be with Erin Rossi, Rob Hayes and Derek Poindexter as the Cleveland Music Club appears at the Kidstock 4 Kidsrock fund-raiser at Wilbert’s Food and Music. We take the stage at 4:45pm for a 30-minute set. Come help support a good cause and get a sneak preview of Cleveland Music Club!

Later that evening, Shady Drive takes the stage at the fabulous Fairview Tavern! The show starts at 9:30pm, but come early to get a seat and feast on one of the Tavern’s many specialties. My current favorite is the Primavera Pizza, but they have awesome burgers, great wings and a host of other delicious dishes. The Tavern makes the best patty melt I have ever tasted!

That’s it for this week! Hurry spring!

We’ll talk soon,

Mike :c)
