Hi gang!

It’s been another great weekend! I hope all of you are having a wonderful 4th of July holiday.

My weekend started with Shady Drive at Irish Kevin’s on Friday as we partied with the Kevin’s gang and Jen behind the bar. We had a great time and can’t wait for our next show there, which is on August 19th.

On Saturday, Shady Drive traveled to Oberlin for our annual Schaun Acres show. With keyboardist Bob Hayes on board, we rocked the Schaun pavilion all evening long!

On Sunday, I was off to Mike’s Barn with The List to appear at the “Kickin’ The Cancer Blues” benefit. The Barn was absolutely packed and ready to party. In addition to playing an hour set with The List, I had the pleasure of playing with Matt Miller and Michael Bay, backing Kristine Jackson during her set to close out the night. What a great time!

I have today off, but tomorrow it’s back to work with The List as we host our weekly jam night at Bullfrog’s. The fun starts at 7:30pm as we play your favorite tunes. At 8:30 we turn the stage over to you, so bring your favorite axe and come jam with us!

On Friday, Shady Drive rolls into the fabulous Fairview Tavern at 9:30pm. The Tavern has absolutely amazing food, plenty of great beers and drink specials and a stellar staff. Add Shady Drive’s hot blues and classic rock to that mix and it’s party time! Don’t miss it!

On Saturday, Shady Drive heads to Mapleside Farms at 5pm to kick off their “Rock, Ribs and Blues” Festival weekend. This should be a really great time!

That’s it for this week! We’ll talk soon…
