Hey gang!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Open Mic at The O and Fairview Tavern, including Erika, John, AJ, Jerry, Tom, Colleen, Freddie, Dan, Ellie, Patti, Patricia, Maury, Kevin, Bob, Marilyn, Mark, Karen, Laura, Gerald & Cuqui!

Here’s what’s coming up this week…

Monday:  I host the Cleveland Music Club Open Mic at The Oriole Cafe’ (294 N. Rocky River Dr., Berea, 7-10pm)! This week’s guest host is George Hartwig! We’ll provide the PA and a short host set, the rest is up to you! Come join us and show off your acoustic/vocal chops or just hang out and enjoy the music, great food and frosty cold drinks!

Friday:   Shady Drive joins up with Tony Koussa on keys and the North Coast Horns to return to The Brothers Lounge (11609 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, 9pm). The Brothers is a vintage establishment with great food, frosty cold drinks, house sound and lights and a remarkable atmosphere! We’ll appear in the Music Hall on the main stage. There is a $5 cover charge. We havent played Brothers since June 2017, so we’re very excited to be heading back there. Come join us! A great time is guaranteed for all!
